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 farm and game fencing requests in the area come from:
- Estates: lifestyle and eco estates fence wildlife areas and grazing camps
- Homes: smallholding owners fence paddocks for horses, goats and chickens
- Farms: farmers fence camps, boundaries and kraals for cattle, sheep and goats
- Schools: agricultural schools fence farm plots and livestock camps
- Sports clubs: polo and equestrian clubs fence paddocks and grazing
- Commercial: feedlots and dairies fence pens and grazing camps
