Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.
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
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing shared boundary fencing and matching the colour set by the HOA
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: securing parking areas and common boundaries, arranged through the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: building plot boundaries with precast panels, mesh or palisade for security and privacy
- Shops, offices and rentals: securing yards, parking and premises with palisade, clear view mesh and electric strands
