Sites, kit & prices in Pietermaritzburg: local notes
Workshops and depots in Mkondeni and Willowton often share boundaries, so neighbours sometimes split the cost of a fence or a patrol. Building sites in Montrose and along the N3 bypass need guarded entrances and tool stores. Quotes depend on distance from town, the length of perimeter and cable runs, and Midlands farms should ask about solar power and radio links.
