Who needs fencing in Richards Bay
Richards Bay has a deep-water port, a coal terminal, aluminium smelting, mineral sands mining and an industrial development zone, all needing high-security perimeters with palisade or clear view and razor wire. Homes in Meerensee, Birdswood and Arboretum buy palisade and electric fencing, and the salty, humid air makes galvanised and coated steel essential. Sugar cane and timber farms nearby use stock fencing, and game reserves in Zululand build tall game fences. Sandy soils need deeper post footings.

Typical weldmesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Industrial: factories fence plant rooms, gas cages and equipment yards
- Logistics: depots fence storage cages and pallet yards
- Mining: mines fence pump houses, transformer bays and walkways
- Homes: homeowners fence dog runs, vegetable gardens and side yards
- Farms: farmers fence chicken runs, pig pens, nurseries and goat camps
- Game reserves: lodges fence vegetable gardens, small animal enclosures and staff yards
