What to know locally in Paarl
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.
Paarl: the properties, the ground and the installers
Wine farms, fruit packhouses and one of the longest main streets in the country set the tone in Paarl. Wine estates on the slopes and around Simondium and Groot Drakenstein want timber or decorative posts along driveways, tasting room parking and gravel lanes, while packhouses and cold stores in Dal Josafat and along the R45 and R101 need forklift and truck protection. Main Street has shopfronts, heritage buildings and narrow sidewalks where cars park on pavements. Winters are wet and summers very hot, with granite rock close to the surface in parts of town. Many installers and fabricators work from Dal Josafat, and heavy units also come from Cape Town along the N1.

- Offices, hotels and car parks: secure executive parking and office park lanes opened by access card
- Municipalities and public spaces: pedestrian streets and squares opened for service vehicles in the morning
