Clearview fencing Port Elizabeth combines perimeter security, clear visibility, and a practical welded mesh design. Its narrow apertures discourage climbing while allowing cameras and security teams to monitor surrounding areas. The system supports residential estates, business premises, warehouses, public facilities, and industrial sites.
Port Elizabeth, now officially called Gqeberha, forms part of Nelson Mandela Bay in South Africa's Eastern Cape. Coastal exposure makes corrosion protection an important consideration for many local fencing projects. Boss Metal and Plastic Co., Ltd. (BMP) manufactures panels, posts, clamps, and matching fence components in China.
Buyers can specify high, medium, or low-security mesh according to the property's risk assessment. Our Clear View Fence Panels guide introduces the main panel configurations and common applications.
A clearview fence creates a visible boundary without the closed appearance of a solid wall. Welded steel wires form a rigid panel, while carefully spaced apertures limit convenient climbing points. V-shaped folds increase panel stiffness on suitable designs.
The complete system includes welded panels, steel posts, clamps, fasteners, and protective caps. Project designers can also consider gates, security extensions, and compatible detection equipment. Actual protection depends on installation quality, foundations, and overall system design.
Our Clear View Fencing product guide explains the relationship between security levels, panel sizes, and visible boundaries.
Mesh aperture influences climbing resistance, material requirements, and visibility. A narrower opening generally restricts fingerholds better than a wider opening. Every grade still needs suitable posts, clamps, and foundations.
| Security grade | Mesh aperture | Vertical wire | Horizontal wire | Typical purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High security | 76 × 12.5 mm | 4.0 mm | 3.5 mm | Anti-climb perimeter and restricted access areas |
| Medium security | 76 × 25 mm | 4.0 mm | 4.0 mm | Commercial and supervised property boundaries |
| Low security | 76 × 50 mm | 4.0 mm | 4.0 mm | General separation and lower-risk boundaries |
These figures describe the original reference designs, not every available configuration. Buyers may request alternative diameters and pitches. Compare broader options in our ClearVu Fencing Specifications South Africa guide.
High-security mesh uses narrow openings to reduce useful fingerholds and footholds. Its 76.2 × 12.7 mm configuration also appears in common 358 fencing systems. The term 358 describes a three-inch aperture, half-inch aperture, and approximately eight-gauge wire.
This design suits areas with stronger perimeter control requirements. Examples include storage yards, utilities, critical infrastructure, and restricted industrial premises. Explore High Security Clear View Fencing for a closer product comparison.
Medium-security mesh combines relatively narrow openings with a practical material arrangement. It suits commercial premises, schools, residential developments, and supervised industrial yards. A designer should assess threats before choosing this grade.
Wire diameter, coating, post spacing, and gate construction influence the completed perimeter. Security labels alone cannot establish protection performance.
Low-security panels use wider apertures for general boundary control. They can suit gardens, internal partitions, farmland, and managed public spaces. Wider mesh openings provide less climbing resistance than dense high-security patterns.
Our Low Security Clear View Fencing page lists alternative apertures, finishes, and panel heights. Buyers can also review the 1800mm x 3050mm Low Security Clear View Fence.
BMP offers standard and custom panel configurations for different site conditions. A common reference width measures 2,515 mm. Typical panel heights range from 1,800 mm to 3,000 mm, with additional sizes available by agreement.
Confirm dimensions against approved drawings before production. The site designer should check local wind exposure, terrain, and foundation requirements.
V-bends increase stiffness without requiring a fully framed mesh panel. Taller panels may need additional bends and stronger posts. Wire thickness affects weight, visibility, resistance, and handling requirements.
Choose the mesh and steel specification together. Do not select an aperture solely from a product photograph.
Posts transfer wind and impact forces from the mesh into the foundations. Square posts commonly support straightforward panel alignment. Other projects may use rectangular, C-shaped, or H-shaped sections.
The table below preserves the original reference post schedule. Clamp figures describe the original arrangement and require confirmation for each fixing design.
| Fence height | Panel size, H × W | Post section | Post length | V-bends | Reference clamps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1800 mm | 1800 × 2515 mm | 60 × 60 × 2 mm | 2400 mm | 4 | 4 |
| 2000 mm | 2000 × 2515 mm | 60 × 60 × 2 mm | 2600 mm | 4 | 4 |
| 2200 mm | 2200 × 2515 mm | 60 × 60 × 2 mm | 2800 mm | 4 | 4 |
| 2400 mm | 2400 × 2515 mm | 80 × 80 × 3 mm | 3000 mm | 4 | 4 |
| 3000 mm | 3000 × 2515 mm | 80 × 80 × 3 mm | 3600 mm | 5 | 5 |
Post length does not automatically determine a safe foundation depth. Soil conditions and engineering loads must guide embedment and concrete dimensions.
Every fixing connection affects the fence's security and stability. Designers can specify flat bars, panel clamps, shear nuts, and suitable bolts. Protective caps help keep rainwater and debris away from hollow post interiors.

Coating selection deserves particular attention near coastal areas. Salt-laden moisture can accelerate corrosion around damaged steel surfaces. A protective system should cover mesh wires, weld areas, posts, and fittings.
Welding pre-galvanised wire can disturb zinc around weld points. Buyers should specify suitable treatment for those areas. Review Powder Coated Clear View Fence for available surface systems.
Properties near the harbour may experience greater airborne salt exposure than inland sites. Choose the coating system after assessing location, maintenance access, and expected service conditions. Request coating thickness and material test records where required.
Clean dirt and salt deposits during routine inspections. Repair scratches promptly with an appropriate coating repair method.
Good installation begins with an accurate site survey. Mark boundary lines, entrance positions, corners, slopes, and drainage features before setting posts. Confirm that every fence section follows the approved drawings.
Installers should follow relevant local rules and site safety procedures. BMP can supply product drawings and component details for project coordination.
Sloping ground may require stepped panels or an engineered raking arrangement. Panel alignment should preserve the intended security barrier. Avoid unexpected gaps beneath the fence, especially near drainage channels.
Confirm corner details before manufacture. Nonstandard angles can change clamp positioning and post requirements.
A fence works as part of a wider access-control plan. Pedestrian gates and vehicle entrances need suitable frames, hinges, and locks. Match the mesh design across fixed panels and gate leaves whenever practical.
Additional options include fence spikes, razor wire, detection sensors, and electric fence brackets. These features require a separate safety and compliance assessment. Browse Clear View Fence Accessoires for the site's accessory category.
Pedestrian gates suit staff access and controlled walkways. Swing gates support many vehicle entrances, while sliding gates serve other layouts. Gate width and operating frequency influence the final hardware design.
See our Clear View Fence Gate page for pedestrian and vehicle gate configurations.
Different properties need different perimeter designs. A warehouse yard may prioritise inventory control and camera visibility. A residential estate may emphasise appearance, access management, and shared-space safety.
Project risk assessments should guide panel grades and gate specifications. High-risk sites require additional security planning beyond the fence panels.
Match the fence design to risks, ground conditions, and planned surveillance. A narrower mesh helps limit climbing opportunities. Post spacing, gates, and weak boundary points can still control overall performance.
