Gates, fencing and security on the West Rand

We cover the smallholdings, plots and farms of the West Rand beyond Roodepoort and Krugersdorp. This includes Muldersdrift, Lanseria, Nooitgedacht, Lammermoor, Kromdraai, Rhenosterspruit and Tarlton, and out towards Randfontein, Hekpoort and Magaliesburg. Our teams leave from our workshop in Kya Sands, Randburg, and head out along Malibongwe Drive and the N14. We work on homes, plots, equestrian properties, farms, workshops and business yards across the area. Much of our work here is long driveways, wide gates, solar-powered gate motors, GSM intercoms and electric fencing on long boundaries. Out here, many properties go by a farm or plot name instead of a suburb. Send us yours on WhatsApp or through the form on this page, and we'll confirm. Our areas page lists everywhere else we work, including Roodepoort, Krugersdorp and Randburg.

Yes. A gate motor already runs on its own battery, and a small solar panel can keep the battery charged instead of the mains. This suits a gate at the bottom of a long drive, where a power cable from the house means digging a trench across the property. It also keeps the gate going through long power cuts, because the battery charges again every day from the sun. The panel and battery need sizing for the gate: how heavy it is, how often it opens, and how many cloudy days it must get through. A busy gate on a smallholding, with staff, deliveries and horseboxes, uses more power than a gate opening four times a day. On the site visit, we look at the gate, the motor and where the panel gets sun, and the written quotation lists what it needs.

Yes, in most cases. A farm gate is often wider and heavier than a driveway gate, because it has to let through horseboxes, tractors and delivery trucks. The motor has to move a heavy gate every time, on ground which is often gravel, uneven or sloping. A sliding gate needs a level track and a solid concrete base for the motor. A swing gate needs strong posts and hinges, and room to swing clear of the drive. Some old farm gates are too bent or too light to automate, and we tell you plainly when a new gate is the better choice. We make gates to order in our Kya Sands workshop, so a new gate can be built for the opening and for the motor it runs on. Every job starts with a site visit and a written quotation.

Yes. We install and maintain gates, fencing, cameras and access control for workshops, yards, warehouses and business sites around Lanseria, Muldersdrift and the rest of the West Rand. Many of these sites sit on open ground with long boundaries, so we walk the whole perimeter before we quote. Palisade or mesh fencing with electric strands covers the boundary, a heavy sliding gate takes the trucks, and cameras on poles watch the yard, running on solar where a cable is hard to lay. A service level agreement gives you regular service visits and 24-hour access to our technicians, so a gate stuck open on a Saturday night gets answered. Finance is available on commercial service contracts. Without a service contract, we work Monday to Friday, and on Saturday mornings by appointment.
