Astek Security & Automation: Farm Fencing, Vineyards & More

Hot Dip Galvanized (HDG) wire, is a trusted solution for strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant fencing — perfect for use across farms, vineyards, smallholdings, and construction sites in Cape Town and the Western Cape.

Whether you're protecting livestock, growing vines, or building boundary fences, choosing the right wire thickness and mesh type makes all the difference.

What Is HDG Wire?

HDG wire is galvanized using the hot-dip process, which coats the steel wire in zinc to prevent rust and corrosion — ideal for harsh outdoor conditions. This type of wire is long-lasting, strong, and low-maintenance, making it a top choice for farmers, vineyard owners, and rural contractors.

Where Can HDG Wire Be Used?

1. Vineyards (Trellising Systems)

• Wire type: Smooth galvanized wire (2.24 mm, 2.64 mm, 3.15 mm)

• Use: Supporting vine growth, creating training systems, and ensuring crop yield stability.

2. Livestock Fencing

• Wire type: Plain or barbed wire (2.5 mm – 4 mm)

• Use: Containing cattle, sheep, goats, or horses safely within grazing areas.

3. Chicken Runs & Poultry Protection

• Wire type: Chicken mesh / hexagonal mesh (0.71 mm – 1.0 mm)

• Use: Lightweight yet durable fencing for chicken coops, poultry houses, and bird enclosures.

4. Perimeter and Boundary Fencing
