Who needs fencing in Welkom
Welkom is the centre of the Free State goldfields, and mines, tailings plants and contractor yards need secure palisade and razor wire perimeters, as cable and metal theft are serious problems. Homes in suburbs such as Flamingo Park and Riebeeckstad buy palisade fronts, electric fencing and gates, while schools and sports clubs fence fields with diamond mesh. Maize and cattle farms around Odendaalsrus and Theunissen need stock fencing and camp gates. Flat, open ground makes long, straight runs common.
Typical razor wire requests in the area come from:
- Mining: mines protect plant areas, stores and copper cable routes
- Homes: homeowners top boundary walls and back fences to stop climbers
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads, stores and pump houses
- Industrial: factories top perimeter fences and secure stock yards
- Schools: schools top perimeter fences at points where intruders climb in
- Sports clubs: clubs protect clubhouses, bars and equipment stores
