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 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
- Farms: farmers fence homestead pools and farm dams near the house
- Commercial: hotels and guesthouses fence pools for guest safety
- Schools: schools fence swimming pools so learners can only enter with staff
- Industrial: factories fence reservoirs, settling ponds and fire water tanks
