Who needs fencing in Durban
Durban has a large port, industrial areas in Prospecton, Jacobs and the South Durban basin, and suburbs and estates stretching to Umhlanga and Ballito. Container yards and logistics depots need high palisade or clear view fencing with razor wire and access control. Homes and complexes add palisade, electric fencing and sliding gates. The hot, humid and salty climate rusts poor steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are worth specifying. Termites rule out untreated timber poles.

Typical weldmesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Logistics: depots fence storage cages and pallet yards
- Homes: homeowners fence dog runs, vegetable gardens and side yards
- Industrial: factories fence plant rooms, gas cages and equipment yards
- Estates: estates fence refuse areas, play parks and garden services yards
- Commercial: offices and shops fence refuse areas and generator bays
- Schools: schools fence food gardens, play areas and bicycle sheds
