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 razor wire requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners top boundary walls and back fences to stop climbers
- Estates: estates add razor wire behind perimeter walls and along green belts
- Farms: farmers protect homesteads, stores and pump houses
- Commercial: shopping centres top service yard walls and rooftop access points
- Schools: schools top perimeter fences at points where intruders climb in
- Industrial: factories top perimeter fences and secure stock yards
