Who needs fencing in Cape Town
Cape Town's fencing market covers suburban homes, estates and townhouse complexes from Durbanville to Somerset West, plus industrial parks in Montague Gardens, Epping and Airport Industria. Salt air near the sea corrodes steel quickly, so hot-dip galvanising and powder coating are standard. The south-easter puts heavy load on solid panels, which favours open mesh, palisade and clear view. Homes add electric fencing and sliding gates, schools and sports clubs fence fields with mesh, and smallholdings in Philippi and Kraaifontein use diamond mesh.
Typical weldmesh fencing requests in the area come from:
- Homes: homeowners fence dog runs, vegetable gardens and side yards
- Estates: estates fence refuse areas, play parks and garden services yards
- Industrial: factories fence plant rooms, gas cages and equipment yards
- Schools: schools fence food gardens, play areas and bicycle sheds
- Commercial: offices and shops fence refuse areas and generator bays
- Sports clubs: clubs fence practice nets, storage areas and spectator zones
