Who needs fencing in Cape Town
Cape Town's fencing market covers suburban homes, estates and townhouse complexes from Durbanville to Somerset West, plus industrial parks in Montague Gardens, Epping and Airport Industria. Salt air near the sea corrodes steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are standard. The south-easter puts heavy load on solid panels, which favours open mesh, palisade and clear view. Homes add electric fencing and sliding gates, schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh, and smallholdings in Philippi and Kraaifontein use diamond mesh.
