Who needs fencing in Kimberley
Kimberley is the capital of the Northern Cape and a historic diamond mining town. Homes and townhouse complexes buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, and government buildings, Sol Plaatje University and schools need secure perimeters. Mines and solar plants in the region use palisade or clear view with razor wire. Sheep, cattle and game farms around the city need stock fencing, jackal-proof mesh and game fences. Heat, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and concrete-set posts.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- Mining: mines protect plant areas, stores and cable routes
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Municipal: municipalities protect depots, reservoirs and pump stations
- Utilities: utilities protect substations, cell towers and water works
- Game reserves: reserves use electrified game fences to keep animals in and poachers out
