The short answer
Clear view fencing is welded steel mesh panels fixed to posts, so you can see through your boundary, and tighter mesh openings leave fewer handholds and less room for tools. The price depends on length, height, gates and terrain. Request a quote for Johannesburg or Pretoria and we will call you back with the next step.
What we can help with
What do you need sorted out?
Most boundary jobs fit one of these. If yours does not, describe the job in the quote request and we will take it from there.

What moves the price, published per-metre ranges with their sources, and how to compare two quotes side by side.
Clear view or palisade?
Two common boundary fences compared on visibility, climbing, upkeep and look, with no winner declared.
Electric fence installation
A new electric fence needs a certificate from a registered installer. Here is what that means and what to ask.
Electric fence repairs
A fence that has gone quiet or is clicking but weak. Common causes, what to leave to the installer, and when work needs a new certificate.
Common questions
Cost per metre, what 10 metres and 100 metres can come to, estate rules, gates and electric fence certificates.
Signs it is time to look at your fence
Is your boundary doing its job?
These are the situations people describe most when they ask about a new boundary. Each can have more than one answer, so tell us what you are dealing with.
You cannot see the street from the gate
A solid wall hides whoever is outside, and it hides your property from the street too. Mesh panels let you see out. That cuts both ways, so some owners add screening or planting on one side. Screening catches the wind, so it needs a design check, and planting must stay well clear of any electric wires.
The old fence is easy to get over or through
Light wire, thin rails and rusted joints give way quickly. Mesh panels come in tighter and heavier grades, and an anti-climb grade is a mesh with small openings.
Rust, gaps or leaning posts
When a run of old fencing needs patching every season, replacing it can work out simpler than another repair. A quote should show posts and footings, not only panels.
A gate that does not match the fence
New panels beside a sagging old gate leave the weak spot where it was. Gates are quoted separately from the per-metre price, so ask for both.
Get the whole run priced, not only the panels
A low per-metre figure can leave out the gate, the posts in rock, the coating or the electric wiring. Before you compare two quotes, check that each lists the same height, the same mesh grade and the same extras. The cost guide has the checklist.
How it works
How does a request work?
Four steps take you from a first message to an agreed price.
- Tell us about the boundary. Use the quote form, or phone 060 086 9889. Your suburb, the rough length and the height you have in mind are enough to start.
- We call you back. We ask about gates, slopes, access and any estate or body corporate rules, then go through the price drivers with you.
- You confirm the price. Nothing goes ahead without your yes. Ask what the figure covers: panels, posts, footings, gate, coating and VAT.
- We install. We set a day with you. If you want electric fencing as well, we explain the certificate before work starts.
Areas
Which areas are covered?
We take clear view fencing requests from two areas. Each has its own page, because the jobs are different.

Estate and complex boundaries, body corporate and HOA rules, and commercial yards, from Sandton and Fourways to Randburg and Roodepoort.
Pretoria
Large plots and smallholdings, long boundary runs, Pretoria East and Centurion.
Just outside these areas? Send the request anyway and give your suburb.
Straight answers
Questions people ask about fencing
What is clear view fencing?
It is a boundary fence made of welded steel mesh panels fixed to posts. Tighter grades have smaller openings, which leave less to grip and less room for tools, and you can see through it.
What does clear view fencing cost?
It depends on height, mesh grade, coating, gates and the ground. Published installed ranges for Gauteng are on our cost page, each with its source and date. The only price that counts is the one for your boundary.
Do you do electric fencing as well?
Yes. An electric fence can be added on top of a clear view fence or installed on its own. A new electric fence needs a certificate from a registered Electric Fence System Installer, and so can one that is extended or altered. Minor repairs may not. The installation page explains.
Can I get clear view fencing inside a security estate?
It depends on the estate, because each estate or body corporate decides what may go on its boundary. Check yours first and tell us when you request a quote. The Johannesburg page covers what to ask your trustees or managing agent.
What happens after I send a request?
We phone you. It helps to have the approximate length, where gates should go and whether the ground is level. There is no obligation to go ahead.
