Who needs fencing in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein's fencing demand comes from homes and townhouse complexes in suburbs such as Langenhoven Park, Woodland Hills and Fichardt Park, plus courts, government buildings, universities and schools. Estates and institutions favour clear view and palisade, and homes add electric fencing and motorised gates. Smallholdings and farms around the city need diamond mesh, stock fencing and farm gates. Highveld thunderstorms, hail and hard winter frost mean energisers need surge protection and galvanised wire holds up best.
Typical electric fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
- Estates: estates run monitored electric fences around the whole perimeter
- Municipal: municipalities protect depots, reservoirs and pump stations
- Schools: schools add electric strands to perimeter walls and fences
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
