Who needs fencing in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has some of the country's highest demand for security fencing. Freestanding homes in older suburbs add palisade or clear view on top of walls, with electric strands and motorised sliding gates, while estates in Fourways and the north fit clear view perimeters. Industrial areas such as City Deep and Kya Sand use palisade and razor wire against theft. Schools, sports clubs and parks need mesh or palisade boundaries, and rocky ridges and old mine land can make post holes harder to dig.
Typical sports fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence private tennis courts and play areas
- Estates: estates fence shared tennis and padel courts and play parks
- Industrial: large employers fence staff sports grounds
- Commercial: sports centres fence five-a-side pitches and courts
- Schools: schools fence sports fields, courts and the school perimeter
- Sports clubs: clubs fence tennis courts, cricket nets and field boundaries
