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 mesh fence gates requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: depots fit wide vehicle gates to truck yards
- Homes: homeowners add pedestrian and driveway gates to back yard and side fences
- Industrial: factories fit vehicle and pedestrian gates to yard fences
- Estates: estates fit service gates and green belt access gates
- Commercial: businesses fit gates to service yards and refuse areas
- Schools: schools fit pedestrian gates for learners and service gates for deliveries
