Homes and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's older suburbs, such as Melville, Parkview and Bez Valley, have face-brick and plastered homes with ageing roofs, damp walls and ceilings stained by summer storms. Hail and lightning hit the Highveld hard, so roof, gutter and electrical repairs are constant. Clay soils crack walls and paving. Sandton and the northern suburbs have many estates and complexes, and the inner city and Rosebank have flats where landlords and body corporates need quick repairs. Township homes in Soweto and Alexandra are extended over time. Hardware stores, paint and tile shops and builders' merchants serve every area.

Typical fencing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fitting palisade or clear view fencing on street boundaries and repairing old walls
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing shared boundary fencing and matching the colour set by the HOA
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: securing parking areas and common boundaries, arranged through the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: building plot boundaries with precast panels, mesh or palisade for security and privacy
- Older and character homes: restoring old iron railings and fitting fences that suit the character of older homes
- Shops, offices and rentals: securing yards, parking and premises with palisade, clear view mesh and electric strands
