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 palisade fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence street frontages and raise boundary walls with palisade on top
- Estates: estates fence perimeters and entrances with tall galvanised palisade
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and diesel stores
- Commercial: shopping centres and offices fence frontages and parking areas
- 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
