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 fence installation requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners hire contractors to fence boundaries, pools and driveways
- Estates: estates hire contractors for perimeter and internal fencing
- Industrial: factories hire contractors for security fencing and gates
- Commercial: businesses hire contractors for perimeter, yard and parking fencing
- Schools: schools hire contractors to fence grounds and sports fields
- Sports clubs: clubs hire contractors for court and field fencing
