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 diamond mesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence yards and storage areas with razor wire on top
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards and side boundaries to keep dogs and children safe
- Farms: farmers fence homesteads, kraals, chicken runs and vegetable gardens
- Game reserves: lodges fence staff villages, bomas and service yards
- Estates: estates fence the perimeter behind houses and green belts at low cost
- Schools: schools fence playgrounds and sports fields so learners stay safe
