How do I quote a fence per linear metre?
Enter your rate per linear metre for the fence type — steel palisade, Clearvu/mesh, concrete panel, timber screening or chain-link — add the run length in metres, and TradiQuote multiplies it out. Posts and footings, gates, electric-fence top and site clearing each get their own line item, so the client sees exactly what every part of the fence costs. Save your rates once and your next fencing quote takes two minutes.
Can I quote different fence types and gates on the same proposal?
Yes. A real fencing job is rarely one product. Put steel palisade per metre on one line, a sliding gate as a unit on the next, posts and concrete footings on another, and an electric-fence add-on per metre below that. Each line carries its own quantity and rate, so a mixed palisade-plus-gate-plus-electric job reads clearly and your totals stay correct.
What does palisade and Clearvu fencing cost per metre in South Africa?
As an indicative 2026 guide, supply-and-install steel palisade commonly ranges around R900–R2,200 per metre depending mostly on height (1.2 m vs 2.4 m) and spike design, and installed Clearvu/mesh commonly ranges around R1,000–R1,600 per metre. Precast concrete panel (RDP) walling often starts around R510–R1,300 per metre. These are rough market ranges to sanity-check against — terrain, access and steel prices move them, so always set your own rates from your costs.
Does the quote handle the electric fence Certificate of Compliance?
Where you install an electric fence, a registered installer must issue an Electric Fence System Certificate of Compliance under the Electrical Machinery Regulations — it is also required when a property with an electric fence is sold. Add that certificate as its own line item so its cost is agreed upfront and never disputed. TradiQuote does not issue the certificate; it simply lets you quote it clearly alongside the energiser and wall-top wiring.
Can clients pay a fencing deposit online?
Yes. Once the client signs the proposal, a deposit invoice with your banking details is created and sent automatically. They can pay by EFT or card, and you're notified when it clears — so you can order palisade panels, posts and concrete and book the install crew before you start.
