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 electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories add monitored electric fences to perimeter fences and walls
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Game reserves: reserves use electrified game fences to keep animals in and poachers out
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
- Schools: schools add electric strands to perimeter walls and fences
