Security & access in Paarl: local notes
Packhouses and cold stores need racking and dock protection that copes with forklifts working fast during harvest. Wine farms and venues use removable posts and chains to close off lanes after hours, and estates in Paarl and Wellington use boom gates with access control. Shops along Main Street ask for protection against cars mounting the kerb, and homeowners use driveway posts to stop visitors parking across the gate.
