Who needs fencing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is huge and sparsely populated, so fencing here is mostly about long distances. Sheep and goat farms in the Karoo and Namaqualand need many kilometres of stock fencing and jackal-proof mesh, and game farms use high game fences. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mines, and solar and wind farms, specify palisade or clear view perimeters. In Kimberley and Upington, homes and schools buy palisade and diamond mesh. Extreme heat, wind, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and well-anchored posts.

Typical galvanised diamond mesh requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers fence camps, kraals, homesteads and chicken runs with heavy galvanised mesh
- Mining: mines fence stockpiles, pits, pump stations and restricted areas
- Utilities: utilities fence substations, pipelines and solar farms
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff housing, workshops and fuel stores
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards, side boundaries and vegetable gardens at low cost
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
