Who needs fencing in Western Cape
In the Western Cape, fencing buyers range from Cape Town estates and townhouse complexes to wine farms, orchards and coastal holiday homes. Salt air along the Atlantic and False Bay coasts corrodes plain steel quickly, so galvanised and powder-coated fences are the norm near the sea. Strong south-easterly winds put load on solid panels, which is one reason open mesh and palisade are popular. Farms in the Boland and Karoo use diamond mesh and stock fencing, while schools, sports clubs and industrial parks favour clear view and palisade perimeters.
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
- Farms: farmers fence camps, kraals, homesteads and chicken runs with heavy galvanised mesh
- Commercial: businesses fence service yards, generator areas and refuse bays
- Schools: schools fence back boundaries and maintenance areas
- Industrial: factories fence yards, loading areas and stores with heavy duty mesh
