Who needs fencing in North West
In North West, platinum mines, smelters and contractor yards around Rustenburg and Brits are major buyers of palisade and razor wire perimeters. Maize and cattle farms across the province need stock fencing, diamond mesh and farm gates, and game farms near the Pilanesberg and Madikwe areas use game fencing. Homes, townhouse complexes and estates in Rustenburg, Potchefstroom and Klerksdorp add palisade, clear view and electric fences. Hard, rocky ground in places means posts are often set in concrete or drilled footings.

- Farms: farmers protect homesteads and use electric strands to keep livestock in
- Homes: homeowners add electric strands to boundary walls for early warning
