Who needs fencing in Free State
The Free State is mostly farmland, so stock fencing, diamond mesh and gates for camps and homesteads make up a large share of demand. Maize and cattle farmers replace and extend boundary fences, and game farms near the Vaal and in the eastern highlands use taller game fencing. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes, townhouse complexes and schools buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing. Mines and the Sasolburg industrial area need secure perimeters. Hard winter frost and summer storms favour galvanised wire and sturdy, well-braced posts.
Typical palisade fencing requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and diesel stores
- Homes: homeowners fence street frontages and raise boundary walls with palisade on top
- Game reserves: lodges secure reception areas, staff quarters and stores
- Mining: mines fence plant areas, offices and explosives stores
- Schools: schools fence perimeters with rounded-top palisade for learner safety
- Industrial: factories fence perimeters and loading bays with 2.4 m palisade and razor wire
