Bollard types in Bloemfontein: local notes
Precast posts and domes from local yards are the standard at shopping centres and offices, while depots on the N1 use concrete filled steel pipe. Campus and court buildings sometimes specify stainless 304 or cast decorative posts to suit sandstone facades. Frost can crack poorly made precast, so ask about the mix and curing. Bollard lights along estate paths in Langenhoven Park are usually mains powered with a CoC.
