Who needs fencing in East London
East London has a vehicle assembly plant, an industrial development zone, a river port and suburbs such as Beacon Bay, Gonubie and Vincent. Factories and port sites use palisade or clear view with razor wire, while homes buy palisade fronts, electric fencing and sliding gates. Coastal salt and wind make galvanised and coated steel the sensible choice. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh, and farms and game reserves inland need stock and game fencing.

Typical pool fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence reservoirs, settling ponds and fire water tanks
- Homes: homeowners fence pools so young children and pets cannot reach the water
- Schools: schools fence swimming pools so learners can only enter with staff
- Farms: farmers fence homestead pools and farm dams near the house
- Municipal: municipalities fence public swimming pools
- Game reserves: lodges fence guest pools to keep children safe and animals out
