Durban Kwa-Zulu Natal

Durban – We offer a free delivery service on all Built in Braais to Durban Kwa-Zulu Natal and surrounding towns like eManzimtoti, uMhlanga and Pinetown. We also deliver throughout South Africa, including Western Cape, Gauteng, Eastern Cape, North-West, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Kwazulu-Natal, Free State, and Northern Cape.

Durban’s humid subtropical climate creates the most challenging conditions for steel installations nationwide. Specifically, high humidity levels year-round accelerate corrosion processes significantly. Additionally, coastal salt spray penetrates several kilometers inland. Moreover, temperatures remain consistently warm between 16°C and 28°C with high rainfall.

These harsh coastal conditions demand premium steel grades for acceptable performance. Furthermore, Durban’s industrial port activities contribute additional pollutants affecting metal durability. Therefore, Built-in Braai steel selection becomes critical for avoiding premature failure.

Mild steel Built-in Braais which are sprayed black fails rapidly in Durban’s humid coastal environment. Consequently, we strongly advise against this option for any outdoor applications. Instead, reserve mild steel exclusively for indoor installations.

Similarly, 430 stainless steel struggles with Durban’s aggressive coastal conditions. Therefore, this grade suits only fully enclosed patio areas away from the coast and no direct humidity exposure. Nevertheless, even covered installations show accelerated wear compared to inland regions.

In contrast, 304 stainless steel provides acceptable performance for most Durban applications. However, properties within 2km of the ocean still experience faster corrosion rates. Hence, regular maintenance becomes essential for 304 stainless steel installations.

Most importantly, 316 stainless steel offers optimal durability for Durban’s challenging climate. Specifically, marine grade steel resists salt corrosion and humidity damage more effectively. Therefore, we recommend 316 stainless steel for all exposed coastal installations.

Our Durban delivery service area covers the entire eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. Additionally, we serve the South Coast, North Coast, and inland KwaZulu-Natal regions.
