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 galvanised diamond mesh requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence back yards, side boundaries and vegetable gardens at low cost
- Estates: estates fence service roads, maintenance yards and rear boundaries
- Industrial: factories fence yards, loading areas and stores with heavy duty mesh
- Commercial: businesses fence service yards, generator areas and refuse bays
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
- Sports clubs: clubs fence field perimeters and equipment yards
