Who needs fencing in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape needs fencing for coastal suburbs, automotive factories and a large farming and game sector. Homes in Gqeberha and East London fit palisade and electric fencing, and the windy, salty coast makes galvanised and coated steel the sensible choice. Component plants and the Coega and East London industrial zones specify palisade or clear view with razor wire. Inland, sheep and cattle farms in the Karoo and Amathole use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while private game reserves near the coast build high game fences.
Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fit wide sliding gates for trucks and forklifts
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Farms: farmers secure homestead and yard entrances
- Game reserves: lodges control main entrances and service road access
- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Schools: schools control drop-off and staff parking entrances
