Who needs fencing in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is huge and sparsely populated, so fencing here is mostly about long distances. Sheep and goat farms in the Karoo and Namaqualand need many kilometres of stock fencing and jackal-proof mesh, and game farms use high game fences. Iron ore, manganese and diamond mines, and solar and wind farms, specify palisade or clear view perimeters. In Kimberley and Upington, homes and schools buy palisade and diamond mesh. Extreme heat, wind, dust and stony ground favour galvanised steel and well-anchored posts.
Typical steel gates requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers hang steel gates at the homestead and yard entrances
- Mining: mines fit heavy-duty gates at access control points and stores
- Utilities: utilities fit lockable gates at substations and reservoirs
- Game reserves: lodges fit heavy gates at the main entrance and staff areas
- Homes: homeowners fit driveway and pedestrian gates in boundary walls and fences
- Schools: schools install separate vehicle and learner gates at the entrance
