Who needs fencing in Nelspruit
Mbombela, widely known as Nelspruit, sits in the Lowveld among citrus and macadamia farms, lodges and game reserves. Homes and estates in the city and White River choose palisade, clear view and electric fencing, often on hilly granite plots. Farms fence orchards, packhouses and staff housing, and game reserves near the Kruger area build high game and electric fences to manage wildlife. Hot, humid summers and termites mean galvanised steel and steel posts outlast untreated timber.

Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Game reserves: lodges control main entrances and service road access
- Farms: farmers secure homestead and yard entrances
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Schools: schools control drop-off and staff parking entrances
