What Is Wire Mesh Fencing?

Wire mesh fencing consists of steel wires welded together to form a strong mesh pattern, supplied as panels or rolls and fixed to steel posts. It is manufactured from high-quality galvanised or PVC-coated steel wire and comes in different mesh sizes, wire thicknesses and heights. Unlike a solid wall, it gives an open design that allows natural light and clear visibility while still creating a secure perimeter.

Benefits of Wire Mesh Fencing

Excellent visibility

Works well with CCTV and guard surveillance because sightlines stay open.

Strong security

Welded mesh with smaller openings makes climbing much harder.

Cost-effective at scale

A popular choice for schools, factories, sports facilities and farms.

Flexible specification

Heights, mesh sizes, wire thicknesses and galvanised or PVC-coated finishes.

Improved airflow

Wind passes through, reducing wind pressure during Cape Town's strong south-easterly winds.

Corrosion resistant

Galvanised or PVC-coated wire to handle local conditions.

Types of Wire Mesh We Install

The right mesh depends on how much security you need and the conditions on site.

01

Welded wire mesh

The standard option, strong and neat for general perimeters.

02

PVC-coated mesh

A galvanised core with a PVC coat for extra corrosion resistance and a cleaner finish.

03

Galvanised mesh

Hard-wearing and economical, widely used on industrial and agricultural sites.

04

High-security mesh

Heavy-duty, with smaller openings and thicker wire to resist cutting and climbing.

Wire Mesh Fencing FAQs

How much does wire mesh fencing cost in Cape Town?

Wire mesh is usually calculated per metre installed. The cost depends on the fence height, wire thickness, the coating you choose, the total length and the site conditions. We provide a free on-site quotation.

Common heights are 1.2 m, 1.8 m and 2.4 m, with other heights available depending on the application.

Galvanised wire has a zinc coating that protects against rust. PVC-coated wire has a galvanised core with a plastic coating over it, which adds corrosion resistance and gives a cleaner, more finished look. PVC-coated is worth considering closer to the coast.

Site inspection and measurements, ground preparation and marking, post installation set in concrete, then the mesh panels or rolls are fitted, tensioned and aligned, followed by a final inspection and finishing.

Yes, particularly the high-security option with smaller openings and thicker wire. It is widely used on factories, schools and sports facilities, and the open design actually helps because it keeps sightlines clear for cameras and patrols.
