Fencing & Gates — Frequently Asked Questions
Durawall fencing typically costs $30-$60 per metre depending on height and finish, while precast walls range from $40-$80 per metre. Palisade fencing starts around $25-$50 per metre. Gate installation varies widely from $300 for a simple pedestrian gate to $2,000+ for an automated sliding gate.
Durawall and precast concrete walls are the most popular options for residential properties in Harare and Bulawayo due to their durability and security. Many homeowners add razor wire or electric fencing on top for extra security. Your contractor can advise on the best combination for your property and budget.
A standard residential perimeter wall (durawall or precast) takes 1-2 weeks depending on the property size. Gate installation typically takes 1-3 days. Weather and ground conditions can affect timelines, so your contractor will provide a realistic schedule after assessing the site.
In most Zimbabwean cities, boundary walls above a certain height require council approval. Your contractor should be familiar with local regulations in Harare, Bulawayo, or your area. Tenda-listed contractors can advise you on permit requirements before work begins.
