Who needs fencing in Western Cape
In the Western Cape, fencing buyers range from Cape Town estates and townhouse complexes to wine farms, orchards and coastal holiday homes. Salt air along the Atlantic and False Bay coasts corrodes plain steel quickly, so galvanised and powder-coated fences are the norm near the sea. Strong south-easterly winds put load on solid panels, which is one reason open mesh and palisade are popular. Farms in the Boland and Karoo use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while schools, sports clubs and industrial parks favour clear view and palisade perimeters.
Typical chain link fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence gardens, dog runs and side boundaries cheaply
- Estates: estates fence back boundaries and open spaces
- Farms: farmers fence chicken runs, vegetable gardens and small camps
- Commercial: businesses fence parking, yards and empty plots
- Schools: schools fence play areas and field boundaries
- Industrial: factories fence storage yards and boundaries with toppings
