Who needs fencing in Welkom
Welkom is the centre of the Free State goldfields, and mines, tailings plants and contractor yards need secure palisade and razor wire perimeters, as cable and metal theft are serious problems. Homes in suburbs such as Flamingo Park and Riebeeckstad buy palisade fronts, electric fencing and gates, while schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh. Maize and cattle farms around Odendaalsrus and Theunissen need stock fencing and camp gates. Flat, open ground makes long, straight runs common.
Typical fence installation requests in the area come from:
- Mining: mines hire contractors for long perimeter and safety fencing
- Homes: homeowners hire contractors to fence boundaries, pools and driveways
- Farms: farmers hire contractors for camps, boundaries and homestead fencing
- Industrial: factories hire contractors for security fencing and gates
