Who needs fencing in Gauteng
Gauteng is the country's busiest fencing market. Security estates and townhouse complexes in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Centurion fit clear view mesh with electric strands, while freestanding homes add palisade fronts, sliding gates and motors. Factories and warehouses on the East Rand and in Midrand rely on palisade and razor wire, and smallholdings on the city edges use diamond mesh to keep dogs and livestock in. Highveld lightning means energisers need good earthing and surge protection, and break-ins keep demand for perimeter upgrades steady all year.

Typical diamond mesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Estates: estates fence the perimeter behind houses and green belts at low cost
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards and side boundaries to keep dogs and children safe
- Industrial: factories fence yards and storage areas with razor wire on top
- Commercial: shopping centres and offices fence service yards and parking areas
- Logistics: depots fence truck yards and container stacks
- Schools: schools fence playgrounds and sports fields so learners stay safe
