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 security fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners secure boundaries with palisade or clear view and an electric fence
- Estates: estates protect the full perimeter with anti-climb fencing and electric strands
- Farms: farmers secure homesteads, workshops and fuel stores
- Commercial: businesses secure offices, retail service yards and parking
- Schools: schools secure the perimeter so only learners and staff get in
- Industrial: factories secure yards, stores and loading bays
