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 farm and game fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: smallholding owners fence paddocks for horses, goats and chickens
- Estates: lifestyle and eco estates fence wildlife areas and grazing camps
- Municipal: municipalities fence commonage grazing land and nature reserves
- Schools: agricultural schools fence farm plots and livestock camps
- Farms: farmers fence camps, boundaries and kraals for cattle, sheep and goats
- Commercial: feedlots and dairies fence pens and grazing camps
