Price breakdown mesh fencing
What choices determine mesh fencing costs?
When installing mesh fencing, there are several choices that determine its price.
Choice 1: Type of mesh
- Garden mesh: Garden mesh is often purchased by people when they want an inexpensive fence. It is a simple and quick to install fencing for the garden. The mesh has a mesh size of 50 x 100 mm.
- Harmonica mesh: Like garden mesh, harmonica mesh is a good mesh fence for garden fencing and guiding climbing plants. The mesh size of harmonica mesh is 50 x 50 mm. Harmonica mesh is slightly more expensive than garden mesh because it is slightly sturdier.
- Animal mesh:Animal mesh is used for fencing small livestock. There are 4 types of animal netting to be distinguished:
- Chicken netting
- Sheep netting
- Volio netting
- Bass/Deer netting
Chicken netting is the cheapest and badger netting the most expensive. These types of netting have different properties that make them suitable for the type of animal the fencing is intended for.
Pet netting:Pet netting is used when you want to keep certain animals out, such as moles, mice and rats. The meshes of vermin netting are very small so small animals cannot get through them.
Choice 2 : Galvanising and coating
- Galvanising: Galvanising your fencing is necessary because a mesh fence is made of metal. When metal comes into contact with water, it starts to rust. Rust causes the quality of the fencing to deteriorate. Having your fence galvanised has a 10% surcharge, but this is usually already included in the price. Coating also ensures longer life. Having a fence coated also has an additional cost of 10% and is usually not done for animal netting or vermin netting, due to gnawing by the animals.Garden netting and harmonica netting, on the other hand, are almost always delivered galvanised and coated, which is why the prices of these types of fencing are a bit higher.
Choice 3: Type of posts
- Metal post: For a robust sleek look, buy metal posts for your fencing. A metal post is very sturdy and is purchased with a mesh fence made of garden wire or harmonica wire. The prices of metal posts are between £20 and £80 each.
- Wood post: For a more natural look, you can buy one or more wooden posts to go with your animal mesh fence. Wooden posts cost between £3 and £15.
Choice 4: Have it mounted
Most people choose to have their fencing mounted. Wire mesh fencing is one of the easiest fencing to install yourself, but if you want to make sure it is done right the first time, it is better to have a fitter install it. Installation costs vary between providers but prices are around £10 and £20 per metre.
Choice 5: Additional options
The following options are not necessary, but they do improve the quality of your fencing:
Product Price Advantage Tube £20 – £30 each Provides extra strength. Climbrop vegetation £ 20 – £ 45 per 150 cm More privacy and a nicer look. Puncture wire £ 30 – £ 50 per 100 m Provides better security. Find the best specialist for your project and get free quotations.
