What to know locally in Pinetown
Most posts ordered for Pinetown factories are 114 mm or 168 mm steel pipe, concrete filled and painted yellow with black or reflective bands, because they stand up to forklifts and are easy to replace. Flexible polymer posts are gaining ground in food and packaging plants where floors must stay clean. Homeowners in Kloof and Westville tend to choose dark powder coated steel or smooth precast domes that sit quietly against a garden wall.
Pinetown: the properties, the ground and the installers
Factories rather than beaches set the work in Pinetown. New Germany and Westmead are packed with manufacturers, warehouses and transport yards where forklifts and trucks share tight sites, so racking end protection, loading dock posts and guardrails along internal roads make up a large share of requests. The town sits on the hills above Durban, about 20 km from the sea, so salt is less of a worry than humidity, mist and runoff on steep sites. Kloof, Westville and Hillcrest bring the residential side: complexes with boom gates at the entrance and homeowners who want posts at the bottom of a sloping driveway. Old Main Road and the shopping strip in the centre carry their own sidewalk and shopfront jobs.
Typical steel bollards requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, factories and depots: concrete filled pipe at loading docks, door frames and gas lines
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: posts protecting the gatehouse, meter boxes and the corners of entrance islands
- Offices, hotels and car parks: square tube posts lining office forecourts and basement ramps
