Who needs fencing in Free State
The Free State is mostly farmland, so stock fencing, diamond mesh and gates for camps and homesteads make up a large share of demand. Maize and cattle farmers replace and extend boundary fences, and game farms near the Vaal and in the eastern highlands use taller game fencing. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes, townhouse complexes and schools buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing. Mines and the Sasolburg industrial area need secure perimeters. Hard winter frost and summer storms favour galvanised wire and sturdy, well-braced posts.
Typical chain link fencing requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers fence chicken runs, vegetable gardens and small camps
- Homes: homeowners fence gardens, dog runs and side boundaries cheaply
- Game reserves: reserves fence staff areas, nurseries and service yards
- Mining: mines fence restricted areas, dams and equipment yards
- Schools: schools fence play areas and field boundaries
- Industrial: factories fence storage yards and boundaries with toppings

Do I need permission to put up a fence in Free State?
