Who needs fencing in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal combines humid coastal suburbs, a large port economy and sugar cane, timber and dairy farms inland. Homes and estates from Ballito to the South Coast buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air means hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth paying for. Logistics yards along the N3 and in Richards Bay need high-security perimeters with razor wire, while game reserves in northern Zululand use tall game fencing. Termites and heavy summer rain make treated poles and concrete footings important.
Typical steel gates requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fit driveway and pedestrian gates in boundary walls and fences
- Logistics: depots fit wide sliding and swing gates for truck access
- Estates: estates install main entrance and service gates at the gatehouse
- Farms: farmers hang steel gates at the homestead and yard entrances
- Industrial: factories install wide steel gates at truck entrances and yards
- Game reserves: lodges fit heavy gates at the main entrance and staff areas
