Why Choose De-Fence?

Low Maintenance & Eco-Friendly


De-Fence offers architects a low-maintenance and eco-friendly fencing solution that aligns with modern sustainability principles. One key advantage is its minimal maintenance requirements.


Unlike traditional fencing materials such as wood or iron, De-Fence's electro-galvanized and powder-coated finish or hot-dip galvanization provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and weathering.


This means architects and property owners won't need to invest significant time or resources in regular upkeep, painting, or repairs.


Moreover, De-Fence is an eco-conscious choice. It's manufactured with a focus on resource efficiency, and its durability ensures a longer lifecycle, reducing the need for replacements.


De-Fence is also fully recyclable, contributing to reduced waste.


In today's eco-aware architectural landscape, choosing De-Fence reflects a commitment to sustainability and responsible building practices, making it a smart and environmentally friendly choice for architects and property developers alike.

Sleek & Contemporary


De-Fence stands out as an aesthetically pleasing fencing option for architects due to its sleek, modern design and clean lines.


Its high-strength welded mesh panels provide a visually appealing, transparent appearance that allows unobstructed views both in and out of the enclosed area. This transparency can create an open and inviting ambiance, making De-Fence an excellent choice for various architectural projects.


Furthermore, architects appreciate De-Fence's versatility in design and customization. It can be powder-coated in a wide range of colors, allowing it to seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment or complement the building's aesthetics.


This adaptability ensures that De-Fence can be integrated into various architectural styles and settings, from contemporary urban spaces to more traditional landscapes.

Re-roofing a Landmark: NJR Delivers Engineering Precision at NWU Auditorium NJR Potchefstroom was recently commissioned by North-West University (NWU) to solve a persistent leak in the auditorium roof—a complex task due to the very low pitch of the existing structure. Rather than replace the roof entirely, the team opted to erect a new roof structure over the old one. This solution ensured minimal disruption to ongoing activities inside the auditorium. In the absence of an appointed architect, NJR joined the design team directly, offering both product expertise and technical input. Our proposed light steel truss system was reviewed and approved by the project’s structural engineer. The project posed significant engineering challenges. The 40-year-old auditorium had no CAD documentation—only original paper plans. The building’s large, kite-shaped roof spans 70 metres diagonally and 35 metres across the shorter axis, with perimeter wall heights reaching 12 metres.
