About Wholesale Steel & Hardware
A South African wholesale supplier of fencing, steel, roofing, gates and hardware — trading since 2009 from our Alrode warehouse.
Our Story
From One Fencing Yard To A National Supplier
We opened in 2009 with a small yard, a bakkie and a single product line: galvanised diamond mesh for farms around the East Rand. Word travelled through fencing crews, then through builders, and demand pulled us into steel sections, roofing sheeting, gates and the hardware that goes with them.
Today we stock more than 2 000 lines and supply contractors, farmers, resellers, security installers and homeowners in every province. What has not changed is how we work: hold real stock, quote quickly, and load orders when we said we would.
Our Mission
To supply South African builders, farmers and fencing contractors with dependable steel, fencing and hardware products at genuine wholesale prices — backed by stock availability, technical advice and delivery they can plan around.
Our Vision
To be the supplier of first choice for fencing and steel in South Africa, measured not by catalogue size but by how many projects we help finish on schedule.
