Who needs fencing in Richards Bay
Richards Bay has a deep-water port, a coal terminal, aluminium smelting, mineral sands mining and an industrial development zone, all needing high-security perimeters with palisade or clear view and razor wire. Homes in Meerensee, Birdswood and Arboretum buy palisade and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air makes galvanised and coated steel essential. Sugar cane and timber farms nearby use stock fencing, and game reserves in Zululand build tall game fences. Sandy soils need deeper post footings.

Typical sports fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: large employers fence staff sports grounds
- Logistics: distribution centres fence staff sports and recreation areas
- Mining: mining towns fence stadiums and community sports fields
- Homes: homeowners fence private tennis courts and play areas
- Farms: farm schools and communities fence sports grounds
- Game reserves: lodges fence staff sports fields and guest courts
