Who needs fencing in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal combines humid coastal suburbs, a large port economy and sugar cane, timber and dairy farms inland. Homes and estates from Ballito to the South Coast buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air means hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth paying for. Logistics yards along the N3 and in Richards Bay need high-security perimeters with razor wire, while game reserves in northern Zululand use tall game fencing. Termites and heavy summer rain make treated poles and concrete footings important.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- Logistics: warehouses protect truck yards and stock against theft
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Industrial: factories add monitored electric fences to perimeter fences and walls
- Game reserves: reserves use electrified game fences to keep animals in and poachers out
