Who needs fencing in Richards Bay
Richards Bay has a deep-water port, a coal terminal, aluminium smelting, mineral sands mining and an industrial development zone, all needing high-security perimeters with palisade or clear view and razor wire. Homes in Meerensee, Birdswood and Arboretum buy palisade and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air makes galvanised and coated steel essential. Sugar cane and timber farms nearby use stock fencing, and game reserves in Zululand build tall game fences. Sandy soils need deeper post footings.
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
- Mining: mines fence water storage ponds and recreation pools
- Homes: homeowners fence pools so young children and pets cannot reach the water
- Farms: farmers fence homestead pools and farm dams near the house
- Game reserves: lodges fence guest pools to keep children safe and animals out
