Who needs fencing in Durban
Durban has a large port, industrial areas in Prospecton, Jacobs and the South Durban basin, and suburbs and estates stretching to Umhlanga and Ballito. Container yards and logistics depots need high palisade or clear view fencing with razor wire and access control. Homes and complexes add palisade, electric fencing and sliding gates. The hot, humid and salty climate rusts poor steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth specifying. Termites rule out untreated timber poles.
Typical diamond mesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: depots fence truck yards and container stacks
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards and side boundaries to keep dogs and children safe
- Industrial: factories fence yards and storage areas with razor wire on top
- Estates: estates fence the perimeter behind houses and green belts at low cost
- Commercial: shopping centres and offices fence service yards and parking areas
- Schools: schools fence playgrounds and sports fields so learners stay safe
