Who needs fencing in Rustenburg
Rustenburg is surrounded by platinum mines, smelters and contractor yards, which need palisade, clear view and razor wire perimeters to protect plant and equipment. Homes and townhouse complexes in Cashan, Safari Gardens and Waterfall East buy palisade, electric fencing and sliding gates. Lodges and game farms near the Pilanesberg and Magaliesberg build game fencing, and citrus and vegetable farms fence fields and packhouses. Rocky ground along the mountains often calls for drilled or concrete-set posts.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Mining: mines protect plant areas, stores and cable routes
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- 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
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
