Who needs fencing in Pinetown
Pinetown, New Germany and Westmead form one of KwaZulu-Natal's biggest industrial nodes, and factories and transport depots secure their yards with palisade and razor wire. Up the hill, homes in Hillcrest, Kloof and Westville buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, often on steep, sloping plots that need stepped or raked panels. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh. Heavy summer rain and humidity favour galvanised steel, while termites make steel posts or treated poles the better option.

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
- Logistics: depots secure warehouses, truck yards and container stacks
- Estates: estates protect the full perimeter with anti-climb fencing and electric strands
- Schools: schools secure the perimeter so only learners and staff get in
- Sports clubs: clubs secure clubhouses, equipment stores and parking
