"WONKY WALL WOES!"

To be honest I really hate concrete fencing....or "precast walls" as they're also known. Why? Because after a while they all sag horribly! However, years ago I bought a cottage in Kloof that lacked a street boundary fence or wall of any kind and, wanting security immediately, I approached a number of these 'instant wall merchants' and, on the basis that you generally get what you pay for, I accepted the most expensive quote for a "pre-cast" wall from DURBAN CONCRETE FENCING. However, I made a huge song and dance about my concern about ugly "sagging" so demanded, and received, an assurance that extra strong foundations for the "uprights" would be provided. Well done Durban Concrete Fencing - the wall went up brilliantly in just one day and my need for instant security (or the sense if it!) was satisfied. But....you've guessed it....after some time, the dreaded ugly sagging appeared! My approach to the company - whose assurance I'd accepted that it wouldn't happen - fell on cloth ears; instead I was offered a quote to restore the wall to vertical at a price approaching the original cost! Moral of the story? " When in doubt, don't! "
