Who needs fencing in Pinetown
Pinetown, New Germany and Westmead form one of KwaZulu-Natal's biggest industrial nodes, and factories and transport depots secure their yards with palisade and razor wire. Up the hill, homes in Hillcrest, Kloof and Westville buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, often on steep, sloping plots that need stepped or raked panels. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh. Heavy summer rain and humidity favour galvanised steel, while termites make steel posts or treated poles the better option.
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
- Logistics: warehouses protect truck yards and stock against theft
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
- Schools: schools add electric strands to perimeter walls and fences
- Sports clubs: clubs protect clubhouses and equipment stores after hours
