Fencing Contractors in Johannesburg
Security fencing, boundary walls, and gate installations
Professional Fencing Services
Sinqobile Construction provides professional fencing and boundary wall installation across Johannesburg and Gauteng. Over 15 years we have secured hundreds of residential and commercial properties with palisade fencing, brick boundary walls, precast walls, and electric fence installations. Palisade fencing in Johannesburg costs R900–R3,000+ per metre in 2026 depending on height and material, while brick boundary walls cost R1,800–R3,800 per linear metre. Security is a top priority for Gauteng homeowners, and proper perimeter fencing is the first line of defence. We install to engineering specifications — concrete foundations for all fence posts, correct post spacing, and anti-climb designs. All boundary walls over 1.8 m require council-approved plans, which we handle as part of the project.

Our Fencing Process
We follow a proven process to ensure quality results every time
Site Survey
We measure the boundary, check property pegs, assess terrain and access, and discuss your security and aesthetic requirements.
Quote & Plans
You receive an itemised quote. For walls over 1.8 m or in heritage areas, we arrange council-approved plans.
Installation
Foundations are dug and poured, posts or piers are set, and fencing or wall panels are installed. We work methodically along the boundary to minimise security gaps during installation.
Finishing & Handover
Gates are hung and automated, electric fencing is energised and tested, and the site is cleaned. We provide operating manuals for gate motors and electric fence energisers.
Frequently Asked Questions — Fencing
How much does palisade fencing cost in Johannesburg in 2026?
Palisade fencing in Johannesburg costs R900–R3,000+ per metre in 2026, depending on height. Standard 1.8 m residential palisade costs R900–R1,800/m. High-security 2.4 m palisade costs R2,200–R2,800/m. These prices include concrete foundations, posts, palisade panels, and installation. Electric fencing on top adds R250–R450/m. We provide free site surveys and itemised quotes.
Is a brick wall or palisade fence better for security?
Both have advantages. Brick walls provide complete privacy and are harder to cut through, but intruders can hide behind them. Palisade fencing allows visibility (you can see who is outside) and is harder to climb with anti-climb tops, but offers no privacy. Many Johannesburg homeowners combine both — a brick wall at the front for street-facing privacy and palisade along the sides and back for visibility and security. We can advise on the best combination for your property.
Do I need building plans for a boundary wall?
In Johannesburg, boundary walls over 1.8 m require council-approved building plans. Walls at or below 1.8 m generally do not need plans but must comply with municipal building lines. Palisade fencing typically does not require plans unless it exceeds the height limit. We check your specific requirements and handle plans if needed.
How long does fencing installation take?
A standard residential property (60–100 metres of fencing) takes 3–7 days depending on the fencing type. Precast walls are the fastest (often 1–2 days). Brick boundary walls take longest (5–10 days) due to foundation curing and bricklaying time. Palisade fencing takes 3–5 days. We schedule to minimise the time your property boundary is open.
Can you install electric fencing on an existing wall?
Yes. Electric fencing brackets are mounted on top of existing walls or fences. We install the energiser (usually in the garage or utility room), run the wiring along the boundary, and install warning signs as required by SANS 10222-3. The system is tested and you receive operating instructions. Costs R250–R450 per metre for wall-top electric fencing.
