Who needs fencing in Polokwane
Polokwane serves as the supply centre for much of Limpopo, so fencing jobs range from city homes to farms, game reserves and mines. Homes, townhouse complexes and estates in Bendor and Fauna Park buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing. Government buildings and schools need secure perimeters. Game farms in the surrounding bushveld build high game fencing, and mines along the platinum belt use palisade and razor wire. Hot summers, termites and rocky ground favour steel posts set in concrete.
