Who needs fencing in George
George is the main town on the Garden Route, with retirement and golf estates, freestanding homes and holiday properties. Estates choose clear view or palisade perimeters, and homes add electric fencing and gates. Dairy, timber and hop farms around George and the Langkloof need stock fencing, diamond mesh and farm gates. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh. High rainfall and coastal air mean galvanised and coated steel last much longer, and fire risk near plantations affects material choices.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Schools: schools add electric strands to perimeter walls and fences
- Sports clubs: clubs protect clubhouses and equipment stores after hours
- Commercial: offices and shopping centres secure perimeters and service yards
