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 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
- Farms: farmers fence homesteads, kraals, chicken runs and vegetable gardens
- Commercial: shopping centres and offices fence service yards and parking areas
- Schools: schools fence playgrounds and sports fields so learners stay safe
- Industrial: factories fence yards and storage areas with razor wire on top
