Who needs fencing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is huge and sparsely populated, so fencing here is mostly about long distances. Sheep and goat farms in the Karoo and Namaqualand need many kilometres of stock fencing and jackal-proof mesh, and game farms use high game fences. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mines, and solar and wind farms, specify palisade or clear view perimeters. In Kimberley and Upington, homes and schools buy palisade and diamond mesh. Extreme heat, wind, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and well-anchored posts.
Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers secure homestead and yard entrances
- Mining: mines control vehicle access at plant and store entrances
- Utilities: utilities secure substation and water works entrances
- Game reserves: lodges control main entrances and service road access
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Schools: schools control drop-off and staff parking entrances
