Compare QuotesWhat a Home Installation Covers
Most home jobs cover a front or full perimeter fence, a driveway gate, a pedestrian gate and sometimes a section inside the property, such as around a pool or play area. Installers measure the boundary, agree height, mesh and colour, set posts, fit panels and hang gates.
Where It Suits
- Front boundaries. You can see who is at the gate, and passers-by can see the house, which leaves fewer hiding places.
- Open or low-walled plots. Adds height and security without building a wall.
- Homes with a view. Keeps the view that a solid wall would block.
- Pets and children. Small openings keep most small dogs from squeezing through.
- Townhouses and complexes. Usually need body corporate or HOA approval first. See estate clearview fencing.
Options for Homes
| Option | Choices | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 1.2m for gardens, 1.8m for most boundaries, 2.1m+ for security | Taller costs more; check City height rules |
| Mesh | Standard mesh or anti-climb 358 | Anti-climb is harder to scale and costs more |
| Colour | Black and charcoal are most common; green blends into gardens | Non-stock colours can take longer |
| Top | Flat, or spikes | Spikes add security but look less residential |
| Base | Ground-set posts, or on a low wall | A low wall closes gaps on uneven ground |
Gates and Access
Plan gates with the fence. A pedestrian gate keeps visitors off the driveway; a sliding gate suits most driveways, and gate automation adds remotes, an intercom and battery backup. If you need a pool barrier, read clearview pool fencing first, as pool gates have specific requirements.
Security Additions
Many homes add electric strands on the clearview fence. Razor wire is less common on homes and may be restricted on street boundaries.

Ballpark figures, not quotations. Indicative 2026 ranges from published South African fencing price guides and retailer listings, excluding VAT unless stated. Most are national or Gauteng figures, so Cape Town quotes can land higher or lower. A site visit and a written quote set the actual price.
What Affects the Price
- Boundary length and height.
- Existing wall or fence to remove.
- Garden access for materials and tools.
- Number and type of gates.
- Colour and finish.
- Slopes, steps and retaining walls along the line.
Cape Town Considerations
- Coastal homes. Ask for galvanised steel with a powder coat and stainless or coated fixings.
- Shared boundaries. Agree the line and the fence with your neighbour before work starts.
- Height rules. The City has rules on boundary fence heights. Check before ordering over 1.8m.
What to Include in Your Enquiry
- Suburb, and whether it is a house, townhouse or complex.
- Which boundaries: front, sides, back or full perimeter, with rough metres.
- Height and colour you prefer.
- Gates needed and whether the driveway gate should be automated.
- Pets, pool or children's play areas the fence must allow for.

Home Fencing Questions
Is clearview fencing too industrial-looking for a house?
Not usually. In black or charcoal it reads as a modern boundary, and it can sit on a low plastered wall.
What height is best for a house?
1.8m suits most home boundaries. 1.2m works for front gardens and pets; 2.1m or more for higher security, subject to City height rules.
Will it keep small dogs in?
Anti-climb mesh has small openings that most dogs cannot get through. Ask installers to close gaps under the fence and gates too.
Can I fence only the front of my property?
Yes. Many homeowners fence the street boundary first and add the sides later in the same specification.
Do I need my neighbour's permission?
For a fence on a shared boundary, agree it with your neighbour first. Complexes usually need trustee or HOA approval.
