Typical fencing & gates jobs & what they cost
Concrete examples at the national baseline. Bands reflect normal variation — the same job can sit at the low or high end depending on access, materials, and urgency.
Steel posts in concrete footings + galvanised panels. Anti-climb spikes add R150-R300/m.
Premium option — see-through, attractive, expensive. Lifetime warranty from most installers.
Symptoms: gate scrapes, stops, or jumps off the track. Rollers fail before tracks usually.
Steel-frame, panel-infill style. Motorisation extra (see Driveway & Gate Motors).
Standard 2 m × 0.5 m panels into existing concrete posts. Cracked panels are usually replaceable individually.
A note on these numbers
Bands come from rates published in our pricing guides, mixed with what we see Handi-za providers actually quoting across the country. They're starting points — not a fixed price list. Job-specific factors (access, height, asbestos, after-hours, time pressure) all move the needle. Treat this as the first 30 seconds of research before you start collecting real quotes.
