Who needs fencing in Gauteng
Gauteng is the country's busiest fencing market. Security estates and townhouse complexes in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Centurion fit clear view mesh with electric strands, while freestanding homes add palisade fronts, sliding gates and motors. Factories and warehouses on the East Rand and in Midrand rely on palisade and razor wire, and smallholdings on the city edges use diamond mesh to keep dogs and livestock in. Highveld lightning means energisers need good earthing and surge protection, and break-ins keep demand for perimeter upgrades steady all year.
Typical sliding gates requests in the area come from:
- Estates: estates control entrances and exits with heavy-duty sliding gates
- Homes: homeowners fit motorised sliding gates across driveways
- Industrial: factories fit wide sliding gates for trucks and forklifts
- Commercial: offices and shopping centres secure parking and delivery entrances
- Logistics: depots fit wide sliding gates at truck entrances
