Freestanding homes in Lyttelton and Eldoraigne add palisade fronts and sliding gates, while warehouses in Samrand and Highveld use palisade and boom gates for truck access. Schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh or palisade. Smallholdings towards Olievenhoutbosch and Irene need stock and dog fencing. Dolomite in parts of the area means post foundations sometimes need extra care.

- Commercial: offices and shopping centres secure perimeters and service yards
