Who needs fencing in George
George is the main town on the Garden Route, with retirement and golf estates, freestanding homes and holiday properties. Estates choose clear view or palisade perimeters, and homes add electric fencing and gates. Dairy, timber and hop farms around George and the Langkloof need stock fencing, diamond mesh and farm gates. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh. High rainfall and coastal air mean galvanised and coated steel last much longer, and fire risk near plantations affects material choices.

- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Farms: farmers secure homestead and yard entrances
- Schools: schools control drop-off and staff parking entrances
- Sports clubs: clubs secure parking area and field entrances
