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 pool fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence pools so young children and pets cannot reach the water
- Estates: estates fence communal pools and clubhouse pool areas
- Industrial: factories fence reservoirs, settling ponds and fire water tanks
- Commercial: hotels and guesthouses fence pools for guest safety
- Schools: schools fence swimming pools so learners can only enter with staff
- Sports clubs: clubs fence swimming pools and splash pads
