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 security fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories secure yards, stores and loading bays
- Homes: homeowners secure boundaries with palisade or clear view and an electric fence
- Schools: schools secure the perimeter so only learners and staff get in
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and fuel stores
- Municipal: municipalities secure depots, reservoirs and pump stations
- Game reserves: reserves protect lodges, staff villages and anti-poaching bases
