Who needs fencing in Cape Town
Cape Town's fencing market covers suburban homes, estates and townhouse complexes from Durbanville to Somerset West, plus industrial parks in Montague Gardens, Epping and Airport Industria. Salt air near the sea corrodes steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are standard. The south-easter puts heavy load on solid panels, which favours open mesh, palisade and clear view. Homes add electric fencing and sliding gates, schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh, and smallholdings in Philippi and Kraaifontein use diamond mesh.
Typical concrete fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners build private boundary walls quickly and at lower labour cost
- Estates: estates build perimeter walls and screen walls between houses
- Industrial: factories build solid perimeter walls to block views into the yard
- Schools: schools build street-facing walls around their grounds
- Commercial: shopping centres screen service yards and loading areas
- Sports clubs: clubs build boundary walls behind fields and parking areas
