Izitini eziholayo ziyisitini esiwunxande esinekhono lokuhlangana. Ikakhulukazi isetshenziselwa ukwakha izindonga ezivikelayo lapho kungenzeka khona imisebe. Isitini somthofu siyisixazululo esilungele ukuvikela noma ukugcinwa kwesikhashana noma unomphela.

Izitini zomthofu zenziwe ngomthofu omuhle kakhulu, zinokuqina okujwayelekile kanye nendawo ebushelelezi futhi zingafakwa ngokuphelele ngisho nasema-engeli angakwesokudla abukhali.
Izitini zomthofu zinikeza ukuvikelwa kwemisebe kumalabhorethri nasezindaweni zokusebenza (izindonga zodonga). Amabhulokhi okuhola axhumene enza kube lula ukumisa, ukushintsha kanye nokufaka kabusha izindonga ezivikelayo namagumbi okuvikela anoma yimuphi usayizi.
