Perimeter Fence Installations: Welded Mesh, Palisade & Mesh Fencing

Shockoloza is best known for electrified fencing — but a secure perimeter starts with a proper physical fence. We supply and coordinate the installation of modern perimeter fencing (including Welded Mesh, palisade, diamond mesh and Beta fencing) and then integrate the right deterrent and detection layers: electrification, monitoring, and compliance where required.

How we deliver it: we work with a trusted fencing partner (Advanced Fencing) who supplies and installs the physical fence structures. Shockoloza then designs and integrates the security layer — energiser selection, zones, earthing, monitoring integration, and ongoing maintenance support.


Fence Types We Install

We’ll recommend the best fence type for your site based on risk profile, visibility requirements, durability, budget and whether you want to integrate electrification and monitoring.

How Fence Installation Works

We keep it simple: build the physical barrier properly, then integrate the security layer so your perimeter becomes a reliable deterrent and an early-warning system.

Installation process

  • Site assessment: measure perimeter, check ground conditions, confirm access points and gates.
  • Fence specification: choose height, posts, finishes, anti-climb features and gate requirements.
  • Physical installation: installed by our trusted fencing partner (Advanced Fencing) with proper foundations and alignment.
  • Security integration: Shockoloza adds electrification, zones, signage, earthing and surge protection (where required).
  • Testing & handover: voltage verification, monitoring integration checks, and guidance on ongoing maintenance.

Why combine physical + electrified fencing

  • Layered security: the physical fence delays; electrification deters and detects.
  • Early warning: interference triggers alerts faster than “break-in after the fact”.
  • Better coverage: visibility supports CCTV and response planning.
  • Reduced weak points: gates and corners can be protected with the correct zone design.
  • Ongoing reliability: maintenance keeps voltage high and nuisance alarms low.

What Affects Pricing

Fence installations aren’t one-size-fits-all. Here’s what typically drives the scope and cost:

Physical fence factors

  • Total perimeter length (metres) and fence height
  • Ground conditions (rocky, sloped, difficult access)
  • Number of corners, gates and access control requirements
  • Fence specification (mesh thickness, pales, coatings, finishes)
  • Extra works (gate motors, pedestrian gates, repairs/removals)

Security layer factors

  • Energiser sizing and zoning requirements
  • Battery backup, surge/lightning protection, earthing quality
  • Monitoring integration (alarm panel / transmitter / response)
  • Warning signage, isolation points and compliance readiness
  • Maintenance plan (recommended for reliable performance)

Planning Guide

How to Choose the Right Security Fence for Your Property

A fence is more than a boundary — it’s part of your property’s look, privacy and security plan. Use the steps below to choose the right style and material before you request quotes.

1) Establish the purpose of the fence

Most homeowners install a fence for one (or a mix) of these reasons:

  • Aesthetics: a fence can transform curb appeal and add value, especially when it matches your home’s style.
  • Privacy: some fence styles provide partial screening, others give full separation from neighbours or public areas.
  • Security: deter intruders, define a secure boundary, and enclose areas so children and pets stay safe.

Quick decision tip

  • If visibility matters (CCTV / street-facing), choose a high-visibility security mesh option.
  • If privacy matters, prioritise screening and gate/lock planning.
  • If security matters most, plan for a layered solution: physical fence + electrification + monitoring.

What kind of fence is the safest?
For families and pets, safety is about stable construction, no sharp edges in high-contact areas, and correct gate placement. For perimeter security, a strong physical fence combined with electric fencing systems and monitoring provides a reliable deterrent and early-warning layer.

2) Decide on the preferred style

Once you know the purpose, choose a style that suits both your needs and the look of your property. It’s a personal choice — but consider:

  • Architecture: modern, traditional and industrial buildings often suit different finishes.
  • Visibility: Transparent view styles help CCTV sightlines; solid styles increase privacy.
  • Neighbour lines & boundaries: align the fence with access points and landscaping.

Common style mistakes

  • Choosing a fence that looks good but creates blind spots for cameras.
  • Forgetting pedestrian flow (bins, gardening, deliveries) and gate placement.
  • Underestimating how corners, slopes and driveways affect the finished look.

Pro tip: If you plan to electrify, choose a fence type that can accept proper brackets/offsets cleanly — we’ll guide the best option for your site.

3) Determine your fencing budget

Budget is more than the initial price. A smarter comparison looks at the lifetime cost:

  • Installation: ground conditions, access, corners and gates affect labour.
  • Maintenance: some materials need regular upkeep; others are nearly maintenance-free.
  • Upgrades: electrification, monitoring, and gate automation can be planned now or added later.

What to measure for accurate quotes

  • Approximate perimeter length (metres) and fence height preference.
  • Number of gates (vehicle + pedestrian) and corner count.
  • Photos showing slopes, rocky areas, existing walls/fences, and access routes.

How much does a fence cost?
It varies by perimeter length, height/spec, gate count, terrain and material. Send us a few photos and an approximate perimeter length and we’ll scope it properly.

4) Choose the material

Most fences fall into three broad material groups. Each has different looks, strengths, and maintenance needs:

Metal fences

  • Includes diamond mesh (chain link), palisade, transparent view welded mesh and similar security mesh systems.
  • Strong security and long life, but usually less privacy than solid panels.
  • Palisade can be powder-coated in various colours to match property aesthetics.
  • Ornamental aluminium can provide an upscale look with minimal maintenance compared to iron.

Can I put up barbed wire on my property?
Rules can differ by municipality, estate rules and site context. If you’re considering barbed wire, razor wire or similar deterrents, check local by-laws/body corporate rules and let us advise on safer, compliant perimeter options.

Wooden fences

  • A natural look that can be painted or stained to refresh the appearance over time.
  • Typically needs more routine maintenance than modern metal or PVC systems.

Vinyl / PVC fences

  • Popular for low maintenance: won’t rot, and isn’t susceptible to termites or rust/corrosion.
  • Often available in many styles and can suit modern homes well.
