We advise on game fencing, races, holding kraals and water points for fallow, red, sika and chital camps, by email or a booked visit.
Our team advises on high game wire, post spacing, electric outriggers and gates for moving fallow, red, sika or chital safely. We help with camp layout for breeding, calving and handling, including sheltered corners and shaded rest areas. You can ask about races and holding kraals that move deer without balking, plus what keeps water-points clean and accessible in the veld. Whether you need to start from scratch or adapt older fencing, we work from our own camps at Karoo Edge, in the Midlands near Howick and near the Mbombela gate.
We focus on animal welfare under NEMBA permits, with fences and camps that prevent escapes and accidents, and races designed for low-stress movement. We also give tips for backup power to keep energisers and water flowing during power cuts.
To start, send us a message through our contact form with your location, current fence or camp photos, permit status and a short outline of your deer species and numbers. Let us know any natural features like shade trees, koppies, or veld type. Mention your handling routines and where you see stress or escape risks.
We handle fence advice enquiries during normal business hours. If we need more detail, we will ask by email. After that, you will receive step-by-step recommendations from our staff, suited to your terrain, rainfall and herd. For complex layouts or new builds, we may suggest a booked visit by one of our team.
We need details of your site, herd and goals. Good photos of current fencing, gates, water-points and handling spaces help us spot problem areas. Maps or rough camp plans are welcome. Please include your provincial permit details for fallow, red, chital or sika if you want advice on camp sizes or live deer movement, since legal fencing standards must be met.
If you are in a drought-prone area or facing veld recovery after this El Niño, let us know your biggest worries about pasture or water. Clear feedback on past issues, escapes or injuries will help us guide you to calmer, safer routines.
