Who needs fencing in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape needs fencing for coastal suburbs, automotive factories and a large farming and game sector. Homes in Gqeberha and East London fit palisade and electric fencing, and the windy, salty coast makes galvanised and coated steel the sensible choice. Component plants and the Coega and East London industrial zones specify palisade or clear view with razor wire. Inland, sheep and cattle farms in the Karoo and Amathole use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while private game reserves near the coast build high game fences.

Typical chain link fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence storage yards and boundaries with toppings
- Homes: homeowners fence gardens, dog runs and side boundaries cheaply
- Farms: farmers fence chicken runs, vegetable gardens and small camps
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff areas, nurseries and service yards
- Estates: estates fence back boundaries and open spaces
- Schools: schools fence play areas and field boundaries
