Why You Should Purchase Locally Made Fencing Systems

Anyone who’s lived or worked in South Africa for more than five minutes knows that perimeter security is critical. Your home and/or business is under constant threat, so you need SA fencing systems that can hold up to the pressure of high crime rates and resist weathering in the local climate. 

Betafence’s RC range is proudly manufactured right here in South Africa and engineered to protect what matters most.

Built for High-Risk Environments

Fences in South Africa do a lot more than mark boundaries. They have to withstand forced entry attempts and resist environmental wear and tear, all while maintaining clear visibility for surveillance teams. That’s a big ask, especially in high-crime areas where opportunistic threats are a daily reality.

The RC Beta Secure fencing system is designed to meet that challenge head-on. With anti-climb features, this welded mesh solution offers a high level of deterrence and physical resistance. 

The 76.2 mm x 12.7 mm aperture allows for maximum visibility for security patrols and cameras, giving intruders nowhere to hide and nothing to grip.

Proudly SA and Warranty-Backed

Buying locally doesn’t mean you have to compromise on performance. On the contrary, when it comes to Betafence products, it actually means getting more for your money. 

Our products are produced according to international standards but tailored to meet local site requirements. That includes compatibility with electric fencing add-ons and options for added deterrents like razor wire or extended brackets.

Plus, each RC Beta Secure system comes with a 15-year guarantee to give you peace of mind long after installation.

Designed for Durability and Aesthetics 

Every panel in the RC range is finished with a durable RAL7021 charcoal grey thermoplastic coating that prevents corrosion and keeps the fence looking clean and sharp. This way, you get long-term performance without the hassle of needing to do constant maintenance.

The RC fence panels are available in multiple heights, including 1.8 m, 2.1 m and 2.4 m, which give you the flexibility you need without the delay and costs associated with customisations.
