Richards Bay sites
Where clear view fencing is used in Richards Bay.
Richards Bay combines a deep-water port, bulk terminals, smelting and mineral-sands operations with a subtropical coastline. Steel on this coast faces both salt air and industrial fallout, which makes it one of the more demanding places in the country for any fence.
Clear view mesh is used around terminals, depots and factory stands in Alton, along service corridors and substations, and at lower heights around homes and complexes in Meerensee, Arboretum and Birdswood. In nearby Empangeni it is used on schools, hospitals and sugar and timber depots.
Local conditions
Specifying a clear view fence for Richards Bay.
The panel is the same everywhere. What changes from town to town is the ground, the exposure and the level of security the site needs. These are the points to settle for a boundary in Richards Bay.
Sandy soil and a high water table
Coastal sands need foundations sized for the ground, and excavations can fill with water. Flag any drainage lines or wetland edges on the boundary.
Humidity and vegetation
Plant growth is fast here. Keeping creepers and soil off the mesh and the base of the posts helps the finish last.

Richards Bay questions
Clear view fence questions from Richards Bay.
Which finish lasts longest at the coast?
It depends on the exposure. Capstone lists ZincAlu-dipped, powder-coated (PPC) and PVC finishes. Tell us how far the fence is from the sea and what industry is nearby, and the quotation will state the coating system proposed for that exposure.
Can clear view fencing be used in the port and industrial area?
Yes, subject to the site owner’s requirements. The 2.4 m and 3.0 m panels, tighter apertures, 4 mm wire and toppings such as spikes or flatwrap are available. Send the owner’s fencing specification if there is one.
Do you cover Empangeni and the Zululand coast?
Yes. Enquiries from Empangeni, eSikhaleni, Mtunzini and KwaMbonambi follow the same route. Give the nearest town and the fence length so that delivery can be priced.
