Who needs fencing in Port Elizabeth
Gqeberha, still widely searched as Port Elizabeth, is home to vehicle assembly plants, component suppliers and the Coega zone, all of which fence with palisade, clear view and razor wire. Homes in Walmer, Summerstrand and Lorraine add palisade, electric fencing and gates, while estates fit clear view perimeters. The coast is very windy and salty, so galvanised and powder-coated steel are standard. Smallholdings and game farms on the city edges use diamond mesh and game fencing.
Typical galvanised diamond mesh requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence yards, loading areas and stores with heavy duty mesh
- Logistics: depots fence truck yards and long perimeters at low cost per metre
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards, side boundaries and vegetable gardens at low cost
- Estates: estates fence service roads, maintenance yards and rear boundaries
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff housing, workshops and fuel stores

What to include in your request
- The total fence length in metres and the number of corners
- The height and whether you need light or heavy duty wire
