Who needs fencing in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has some of the country's highest demand for security fencing. Freestanding homes in older suburbs add palisade or clear view on top of walls, with electric strands and motorised sliding gates, while estates in Fourways and the north fit clear view perimeters. Industrial areas such as City Deep and Kya Sand use palisade and razor wire against theft. Schools, sports clubs and parks need mesh or palisade boundaries, and rocky ridges and old mine land can make post holes harder to dig.
Typical diamond mesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards and side boundaries to keep dogs and children safe
- Estates: estates fence the perimeter behind houses and green belts at low cost
- Industrial: factories fence yards and storage areas with razor wire on top
- Commercial: shopping centres and offices fence service yards and parking areas
- Schools: schools fence playgrounds and sports fields so learners stay safe
- Sports clubs: clubs fence tennis courts, cricket nets and field boundaries
