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 security fencing requests in the area come from:
- Mining: mines secure plants, explosives stores and high-value areas
- Homes: homeowners secure boundaries with palisade or clear view and an electric fence
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and fuel stores
- Industrial: factories secure yards, stores and loading bays
- Schools: schools secure the perimeter so only learners and staff get in
