Who needs fencing in Pinetown
Pinetown, New Germany and Westmead form one of KwaZulu-Natal's biggest industrial nodes, and factories and transport depots secure their yards with palisade and razor wire. Up the hill, homes in Hillcrest, Kloof and Westville buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing, often on steep, sloping plots that need stepped or raked panels. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh. Heavy summer rain and humidity favour galvanised steel, while termites make steel posts or treated poles the better option.
