Who needs fencing in Free State
The Free State is mostly farmland, so stock fencing, diamond mesh and gates for camps and homesteads make up a large share of demand. Maize and cattle farmers replace and extend boundary fences, and game farms near the Vaal and in the eastern highlands use taller game fencing. In Bloemfontein and Welkom, homes, townhouse complexes and schools buy palisade, clear view and electric fencing. Mines and the Sasolburg industrial area need secure perimeters. Hard winter frost and summer storms favour galvanised wire and sturdy, well-braced posts.
Typical security fencing requests in the area come from:
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and fuel stores
- Homes: homeowners secure boundaries with palisade or clear view and an electric fence
- Game reserves: reserves protect lodges, staff villages and anti-poaching bases
- Mining: mines secure plants, explosives stores and high-value areas
- Schools: schools secure the perimeter so only learners and staff get in
- Industrial: factories secure yards, stores and loading bays
