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 farm and game fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: smallholding owners fence paddocks for horses, goats and chickens
- Logistics: livestock auction yards fence holding pens
- Estates: lifestyle and eco estates fence wildlife areas and grazing camps
- Farms: farmers fence camps, boundaries and kraals for cattle, sheep and goats
- Industrial: agri-processing plants fence holding pens and yards
- Game reserves: reserves build game fences on boundaries and between camps
