Homes and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where houses face salt air, heavy summer rain and fast-growing mould. Homes range from Berea and Morningside flats and older bungalows to Umhlanga and Westville townhouses, with large township and informal areas inland. Salt rusts gates, burglar bars, window frames and roof screws, while damp and mould stain ceilings and walls. Flat roofs, balconies and parapets need regular waterproofing. Termites and borer attack timber, and storms can flood stoeps and blocked gutters. Typical jobs include repainting, waterproofing, gutters, security gates, tiling and garage door repairs. Hardware stores and merchants are spread across the metro and well stocked.
Typical fencing requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: using galvanised and painted steel to resist salt rust, and anchoring against strong wind
- Suburban houses: fitting palisade or clear view fencing on street boundaries and repairing old walls
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: securing parking areas and common boundaries, arranged through the body corporate
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing shared boundary fencing and matching the colour set by the HOA
- Township homes and extensions: building plot boundaries with precast panels, mesh or palisade for security and privacy
- Older and character homes: restoring old iron railings and fitting fences that suit the character of older homes
