Who needs fencing in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has some of the country's highest demand for security fencing. Freestanding homes in older suburbs add palisade or clear view on top of walls, with electric strands and motorised sliding gates, while estates in Fourways and the north fit clear view perimeters. Industrial areas such as City Deep and Kya Sand use palisade and razor wire against theft. Schools, sports clubs and parks need mesh or palisade boundaries, and rocky ridges and old mine land can make post holes harder to dig.
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
- Industrial: agri-processing plants fence holding pens and yards
- Commercial: feedlots and dairies fence pens and grazing camps
- Schools: agricultural schools fence farm plots and livestock camps
- Sports clubs: polo and equestrian clubs fence paddocks and grazing
