If you want a fence that’s strong, modern, and doesn’t block your view, Clearview fencing is one of the best options in Cape Town.
You’ll also hear it called Clear View fencing or ClearVu fencing — it’s the same style of welded security mesh that’s designed to be difficult to climb and hard to tamper with.
Cape Town conditions can be tough on fencing though. Between the wind, coastal air, and ground that shifts over time, a Clearview fence needs to be installed properly from the start — with the right posts, spacing, and fixings — otherwise it can loosen, rattle, or go out of line.
At Ultimate Fencing, we handle Clearview fence installation, repairs, and extensions in Cape Town and surrounding areas for homes, estates, body corporates, schools, and commercial or industrial sites.
If you’re looking for Clearview fence installers in Cape Town, you can request a callback and we’ll guide you on the best setup and pricing.
Clearview is a welded mesh security fence that gives you strong perimeter protection while keeping visibility high.
That visibility is a big advantage — it works well with lighting and CCTV, and it keeps your property from feeling boxed in like a solid wall.
People choose it because it offers:
A clean, modern look
Good security without blocking visibility
A fence that’s hard to climb when correctly installed
A neat solution for residential, commercial, and high-traffic properties
Clearview fencing is a great fit for:
Front boundaries, side boundaries, and areas where you want security without losing visibility.
A neat, uniform look that still gives strong perimeter protection.
Offices, shops, storage areas, and mixed-use spaces where appearance matters.
Warehouses, yards, depots, and boundary lines where durability and security are the priority.
Good boundary control with visibility and a professional finish.
If you’re not sure whether Clearview or another fence type is better for your property, we’ll help you choose based on your budget and risk level.
Clearview pricing and performance usually come down to a few practical choices:
Higher fences generally give more security, but the “best” height depends on where the fence is going (front boundary vs back boundary, public-facing vs private).
Not all Clearview is equal. Some setups are lighter and better for lower-risk areas, while others are built for higher security and harsher conditions. We’ll recommend what suits your property.
This matters a lot in Cape Town, especially in coastal areas. A good finish helps reduce corrosion and keeps the fence looking neat for longer.
This is where many fences fail. If posts aren’t set properly or corners aren’t reinforced, fences can lean, loosen, and rattle over time — especially in high wind areas.
A Clearview fence can look great on day one but start giving problems if corners are cut. Most “failures” come from installation shortcuts — not the mesh itself.
When we install Clearview fencing, we focus on:
Straight fence lines with a neat finish
Strong post setting (especially on corners and windy boundaries)
Secure fixings that don’t loosen easily
Proper alignment so the fence doesn’t end up wavy
A practical plan for slopes and uneven ground (common in Cape Town)
The goal is simple: a fence that stays straight, secure, and solid — not something that needs constant fixing.
Already have Clearview fencing and something is wrong? We can help with repairs and upgrades too.
Common Clearview repair and maintenance jobs include:
Replacing damaged or cut sections
Fixing bent panels properly (not just forcing them back)
Re-setting loose or leaning posts
Replacing worn brackets or fixings
Straightening fence lines that have shifted
Maintenance checks to prevent bigger failures later
If you need more security, we can also help with:
Raising the height (where practical)
Extending the boundary line
Strengthening weak sections that keep giving problems
If you’re deciding between options, here’s the simple way to think about it:
Best when you want strong security with visibility and a modern look.
Often chosen when you want a very “heavy-duty” look and strong steel presence.
Good for privacy, but they can be expensive and don’t give the same visibility (which some people prefer for security monitoring).
If you tell us what you’re trying to solve (privacy, security risk, pets, visibility, budget), we’ll recommend the best fit.
People often ask about “price per metre” — and the truth is Clearview pricing can vary a lot depending on your site and the spec.
Your quote is mainly affected by:
Total metres and number of corners
Height and mesh spec
Finish/coating choice
Ground conditions (hard ground, slopes, existing walls to work around)
Whether old fencing must be removed
Number of gates and access points
Any upgrades (extensions, strengthening, additional security add-ons)
If you want a quick quote, request a callback and tell us your suburb and roughly how many metres you need (even an estimate is fine).
Many Clearview projects include gates for access control — pedestrian gates and driveway gates.

Yes. Clearview (ClearVu) is designed as a security mesh fence and is a strong option when installed properly with the right height, posts, and fixings. It’s also popular because it keeps visibility high.
Most people use these names interchangeably. The important thing is the spec and quality of the mesh, posts, and finish — not just the name.
It can if the materials or coating are poor. In coastal areas, the finish matters a lot. We’ll recommend an option that suits your area and helps reduce corrosion over time.
Yes. Slopes and uneven ground are common in Cape Town. The key is planning the fence line properly so it stays straight, secure, and neat.
Yes. We replace damaged sections and reinforce weak points so the fence is secure again. If the fence is failing in multiple areas, we’ll advise whether a repair, partial replacement, or upgrade makes the most sense.
Yes. If you want to raise the height or extend the boundary line, we can assess what you have and recommend the best way to do it safely and neatly.
It depends on the size of the project, ground conditions, and how many corners and gates are involved. On the callback, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your site.
Prices per metre vary depending on the fence height, mesh spec, coating, site conditions, and whether it’s a new install or replacement. If you want a fast quote, give us your suburb and approximate metres and we’ll price it properly.
Yes. We can recommend a gate option that matches the fence style so your boundary looks consistent and professional.
If you want security with visibility and a modern look, Clearview is a great choice. If you want a more “heavy steel” style boundary, palisade can be a better fit. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose based on your property and risk level.
