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 pool fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence reservoirs, settling ponds and fire water tanks
- Logistics: depots fence water tanks and stormwater ponds
- Homes: homeowners fence pools so young children and pets cannot reach the water
- Estates: estates fence communal pools and clubhouse pool areas
- Schools: schools fence swimming pools so learners can only enter with staff
- Game reserves: lodges fence guest pools to keep children safe and animals out
