Who needs fencing in George
George is the main town on the Garden Route, with retirement and golf estates, freestanding homes and holiday properties. Estates choose clear view or palisade perimeters, and homes add electric fencing and gates. Dairy, timber and hop farms around George and the Langkloof need stock fencing, diamond mesh and farm gates. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh. High rainfall and coastal air mean galvanised and coated steel last much longer, and fire risk near plantations affects material choices.
Typical steel gates requests in the area come from:
- Estates: estates install main entrance and service gates at the gatehouse
- Homes: homeowners fit driveway and pedestrian gates in boundary walls and fences
- Farms: farmers hang steel gates at the homestead and yard entrances
- Schools: schools install separate vehicle and learner gates at the entrance
- Sports clubs: clubs fit gates at parking areas, fields and courts
- Commercial: offices and shopping centres fit gates at service yards and parking
