Who needs fencing in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein's fencing demand comes from homes and townhouse complexes in suburbs such as Langenhoven Park, Woodland Hills and Fichardt Park, plus courts, government buildings, universities and schools. Estates and institutions favour clear view and palisade, and homes add electric fencing and motorised gates. Smallholdings and farms around the city need diamond mesh, stock fencing and farm gates. Highveld thunderstorms, hail and hard winter frost mean energisers need surge protection and galvanised wire holds up best.
Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Municipal: municipalities secure depots, works yards and parks
- Schools: schools control drop-off and staff parking entrances
