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 razor wire requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: depots top truck yard and container yard fences
- Homes: homeowners top boundary walls and back fences to stop climbers
- Industrial: factories top perimeter fences and secure stock yards
- Estates: estates add razor wire behind perimeter walls and along green belts
- Commercial: shopping centres top service yard walls and rooftop access points
- Schools: schools top perimeter fences at points where intruders climb in
