Who needs fencing in Durban
Durban has a large port, industrial areas in Prospecton, Jacobs and the South Durban basin, and suburbs and estates stretching to Umhlanga and Ballito. Container yards and logistics depots need high palisade or clear view fencing with razor wire and access control. Homes and complexes add palisade, electric fencing and sliding gates. The hot, humid and salty climate rusts poor steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth specifying. Termites rule out untreated timber poles.
Typical sports fencing requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: distribution centres fence staff sports and recreation areas
- Homes: homeowners fence private tennis courts and play areas
- Industrial: large employers fence staff sports grounds
- Estates: estates fence shared tennis and padel courts and play parks
- Commercial: sports centres fence five-a-side pitches and courts
- Schools: schools fence sports fields, courts and the school perimeter
