Who needs fencing in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal combines humid coastal suburbs, a large port economy and sugar cane, timber and dairy farms inland. Homes and estates from Ballito to the South Coast buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air means hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth paying for. Logistics yards along the N3 and in Richards Bay need high-security perimeters with razor wire, while game reserves in northern Zululand use tall game fencing. Termites and heavy summer rain make treated poles and concrete footings important.
Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Logistics: depots fit wide sliding gates at truck entrances
- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Farms: farmers secure homestead and yard entrances
- Industrial: factories fit wide sliding gates for trucks and forklifts
- Game reserves: lodges control main entrances and service road access
