Who needs fencing in Durban
Durban has a large port, industrial areas in Prospecton, Jacobs and the South Durban basin, and suburbs and estates stretching to Umhlanga and Ballito. Container yards and logistics depots need high palisade or clear view fencing with razor wire and access control. Homes and complexes add palisade, electric fencing and sliding gates. The hot, humid and salty climate rusts poor steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth specifying. Termites rule out untreated timber poles.
Typical fence installation requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: depots hire contractors for yard fencing and wide gates
- Homes: homeowners hire contractors to fence boundaries, pools and driveways
- Industrial: factories hire contractors for security fencing and gates
- Estates: estates hire contractors for perimeter and internal fencing
- Commercial: businesses hire contractors for perimeter, yard and parking fencing
- Schools: schools hire contractors to fence grounds and sports fields
