In South Africa, fence contractors typically require a range of fencing products to meet the needs of different industries, including residential, commercial, agricultural, industrial, and security sectors.
Here are the most in-demand fencing products:
1. Security Fencing (High Demand)
• ClearVu (Anti-Climb Mesh Fencing) – A high-security, welded mesh fence with small apertures to prevent climbing and cutting.
• Palisade Fencing – Made of steel with pointed tops, commonly used for perimeter security.
• Electric Fencing – Often installed on top of walls or fences for added security.
• Razor Wire & Concertina Wire – Used for high-security applications, often combined with other fencing types.
2. Residential & Commercial Fencing
• Steel or Wrought Iron Fences – Decorative and durable, often used for residential and estate fencing. • Aluminum Fencing – Lightweight, rust-resistant, and suitable for modern properties.
• Wooden Fencing – Used for privacy and aesthetic appeal, though less common in urban areas due to security concerns.
3. Agricultural & Rural Fencing
• Barbed Wire Fencing – Common for livestock control and farm security.
• Cattle & Game Fencing – Heavy-duty wire mesh fencing to contain animals, especially in game reserves.
