Pietermaritzburg notes on bollard types
Away from the coast, galvanised and painted mild steel or grade 304 stainless is usually enough, and the money saved on marine grade can go into a better footing. Cast iron or cast concrete bollards with ball tops suit the heritage streets and the campus around Scottsville. Timber poles treated to H4 work well along gravel parking at Midlands venues near Howick and Hilton, and solar bollard lights are popular on estate paths that go dark during load-shedding.
Who protects what in Pietermaritzburg
Heritage red brick, a university campus and a provincial government quarter give Pietermaritzburg a different mix from the coast. The old city centre has buildings and pedestrian streets where cast iron and decorative bollards fit the look, while government offices and the courts ask about security posts at entrances. Willowton and Mkondeni hold the industrial side, with depots, food plants and transport yards along the N3. Being about 80 km inland, the city has no salt air to fight, but hot summers, violent storms and frosty winter mornings take a toll on paint and plastic. Hilton and Howick add estates with gatehouses, and the Midlands farms beyond ask for timber posts and guardrails on farm roads.
Typical stainless steel bollards requests in the area come from:
- Schools, hospitals and campuses: university plazas, hospital entrances and government building fronts
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: posts at the clubhouse and gatehouse that match stainless balustrades
- Shops, malls and petrol stations: a clean row in front of glass shopfronts and mall entrances
