Who needs fencing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is huge and sparsely populated, so fencing here is mostly about long distances. Sheep and goat farms in the Karoo and Namaqualand need many kilometres of stock fencing and jackal-proof mesh, and game farms use high game fences. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mines, and solar and wind farms, specify palisade or clear view perimeters. In Kimberley and Upington, homes and schools buy palisade and diamond mesh. Extreme heat, wind, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and well-anchored posts.
Typical security fencing requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and fuel stores
- Mining: mines secure plants, explosives stores and high-value areas
- Utilities: utilities secure substations, solar farms and telecom towers
- Game reserves: reserves protect lodges, staff villages and anti-poaching bases
- 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
