Who needs fencing in Pretoria
Pretoria's fencing buyers include homeowners in older suburbs such as Waterkloof and Lynnwood, large security estates to the east, and government buildings, embassies and campuses with strict security needs. Clear view mesh and palisade are common for estates and institutional sites, while homes combine palisade, electric fencing and automated gates. Industrial areas in Rosslyn and Silverton fence yards with palisade and razor wire. Smallholdings north and east of the city use diamond mesh. Summer thunderstorms make energiser earthing and lightning protection important.
