Who needs fencing in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape needs fencing for coastal suburbs, automotive factories and a large farming and game sector. Homes in Gqeberha and East London fit palisade and electric fencing, and the windy, salty coast makes galvanised and coated steel the sensible choice. Component plants and the Coega and East London industrial zones specify palisade or clear view with razor wire. Inland, sheep and cattle farms in the Karoo and Amathole use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while private game reserves near the coast build high game fences.
Typical steel gates requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories install wide steel gates at truck entrances and yards
- Homes: homeowners fit driveway and pedestrian gates in boundary walls and fences
- Farms: farmers hang steel gates at the homestead and yard entrances
- Game reserves: lodges fit heavy gates at the main entrance and staff areas
- Estates: estates install main entrance and service gates at the gatehouse
