Who needs fencing in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape needs fencing for coastal suburbs, automotive factories and a large farming and game sector. Homes in Gqeberha and East London fit palisade and electric fencing, and the windy, salty coast makes galvanised and coated steel the sensible choice. Component plants and the Coega and East London industrial zones specify palisade or clear view with razor wire. Inland, sheep and cattle farms in the Karoo and Amathole use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while private game reserves near the coast build high game fences.
Typical galvanised diamond mesh requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence yards, loading areas and stores with heavy duty mesh
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards, side boundaries and vegetable gardens at low cost
- Farms: farmers fence camps, kraals, homesteads and chicken runs with heavy galvanised mesh
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff housing, workshops and fuel stores
- Estates: estates fence service roads, maintenance yards and rear boundaries
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
