Palisade fences in
Gauteng
Palisade fences are seen throughout Gauteng, they are very popular
with road closures, parks, mines, swimming pools to name a few places
where palisade fences are used.
Palisade fences can assist in curbing crime
The suburb of Glen Austin in Midrand Gauteng, which is made up largely
of plots has in the last two years seen a dramatic decrease in a seemingly
endless wave of crime, thanks largely to palisade fencing. Mr Michael
Agliotti, the owner of a security company in the area says that the
installation of the palisade fences is the best crime fighting tactic
the community could have employed.
The suburb was overrun by criminals who had no regard for the lives
of their victims and burglaries often ended in bloodshed and death.
The community took control of the situation and erected palisade fencing
in clusters around the plots, leaving only one guarded entrance. Residents
gain access to the properties with access codes.
Statistics from the Midrand police station, which is responsible for
Glen Austin show a marked reduction in burglaries since the installation
of the palisade fences. Residential burglaries have decreased from 951
to 652 in the financial year 2010/11.
Cement Brick
walls are also used extensively in Gauteng, but these may be expensive
due to the labour costs. Palisade fences do not have the problem of
high labour costs because they are quick to install. Another advantage
of palisade fences is that they are not opaque, so you will not be surprised
by the burglar around the corner.
Both brick walls and palisade fences can be electrified. Brick walls can have stranded wire electric fence or wall top electrified palisade fence. Palisade fences work best when they are electrified, click here to read more about electrified palisade fences.
Applications for palisade fences
Like all security in Gauteng, there are many applications
for palisade fences. To keep things short there are only a few palisade
fences topics here.
Palisade fence for pets
Pets are easy to take into consideration when installing
palisade fencing. The correct design and spacing ensure safety for cats,
as well as dogs. Containment is no problem either, since the fencing
can easily be arraged to suit a variety of pet owner's needs.
Dangerous animals and palisade fences
Due to the high strength of palisade fences it is possible
to keep even dangerous animals in confined spaces. Crocodiles are not
a common pet in Gauteng but undoubtedly with the high crime rate they
will become more abundant- what better way to keep your crocodile than
in a beautiful stainless steel palisade fence.
Palisade fences for game farms
Palisade fences provide peace of mind to visitors staying
on a game farm even when lions are lurking nearby. Palisade fences have
the advantage of not being opaque, like brick walls. Also, palisade
fences do not rely on the questionable power supply like electric fences
do.
