What Is Clearvu Fencing?
Clearvu fencing combines clear sightlines with greater resistance to climbing and intrusion through a closely spaced welded steel mesh system. Unlike solid boundary walls, the mesh allows light, ventilation and visibility for guards, cameras and people inside the premises. Unlike many chain-link and wide-aperture mesh fences, its narrow horizontal openings provide fewer practical footholds.
The well-known 358 security mesh configuration takes its name from an approximately 3-inch × 0.5-inch opening and 8-gauge steel wire. In metric terms, manufacturers commonly describe this configuration as a 76.2 × 12.7 mm aperture with about 4 mm wire. BMP can discuss other Clearvu-style combinations when your project requires different security levels, panel weights or budgets.
When comparing Clearvu fencing for sale in South Africa, confirm whether each supplier quotes for the panel alone or includes the posts, security clamps, bolts, protective coating, gates and transport. BMP can prepare a bill of materials so you can compare offers on a like-for-like basis.
Anti-Climb Features and Buyer Benefits
- Anti-climb design: small mesh openings restrict handholds and footholds, helping discourage unauthorised climbing.
- Cut resistance: close wire spacing and suitable wire diameters make cutting attacks more difficult; however, no mesh fence provides complete protection against cutting.
- Excellent visibility: an open, flat mesh profile supports perimeter monitoring and CCTV sightlines.
- Anti-tamper fastening: optional security bolts, concealed fixing arrangements and metal clamp systems help reduce casual removal of panels.
- Rigid construction: welded wire intersections, optional V-bends and suitable posts add stiffness to the fencing system.
- Corrosion protection: galvanising and suitable topcoats can help extend service life when buyers choose an appropriate finish for local conditions.
- Modern appearance: clean lines and a choice of RAL colours suit residential, commercial and industrial sites.
- Flexible configuration: BMP can configure panel heights, wire diameters, post sections, gates, spikes and other accessories to match project requirements.
For contractors evaluating Clearvu fencing for sale, compare the complete system rather than judging the mesh panel alone. See our guide to high-visibility security fence panels for further design considerations. Secure posts, suitable fixings and an appropriate protective finish contribute to the final performance.
Clearvu Fencing Technical Specifications
The following tables show typical specifications that BMP can quote. For a fuller comparison, review our Clearvu fencing specifications guide. Before production, BMP and the buyer must confirm dimensions, tolerances, post centres, wire orientation and coating requirements in the technical drawing and proforma invoice.
Standard Panel Sizes and V-Bend Options
| Panel Height | Nominal Panel Width | Typical V-Bends | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1800 mm | 3000 mm | 3 | Residential and light commercial boundaries |
| 2000 mm | 3000 mm | 3 | General perimeter protection |
| 2100 mm | 3000 mm | 3 | Commercial and industrial facilities |
| 2400 mm | 3000 mm | 4 | Higher security requirements |
| 3000 mm | 3000 mm | 5 | High-security perimeters, subject to engineering design |
Note: The V-bend counts above describe one commonly offered panel family. BMP may also offer flat 358 mesh panels, folded-edge designs and project-specific widths such as 2515 mm or 3305 mm. Always check the V-bend configuration and wire thickness for each product instead of assuming that every Clearvu panel shares the same design.

Choosing the Right Mesh Security Level
Standard Clearvu-style fencing offers several aperture, thickness and panel-profile combinations for everyday perimeter protection. 358 fencing is a more specific, narrow-aperture high-security mesh format. Security designers often choose 358-style mesh when they need to restrict footholds while maintaining visibility. A project's actual security performance depends on its full system design, not solely on the mesh opening.
Where engineering specifications call for a particular vertical and horizontal wire diameter, weld performance, corrosion class or foundation design, share those requirements before placing an order. BMP can quote the matching design rather than substituting an apparently similar panel.
Clearvu Fencing for Sale: Price per Metre, Panel or Complete Set
How much does Clearvu fencing cost? There is no single accurate price for all projects. Factory quotations depend on mesh density, wire thickness, panel dimensions, protective finish, ordered quantity, accessories, currency and delivery terms. Our local versus imported fencing price comparison explains more pricing considerations. A 2.4 m high, 4 mm high-security mesh system will generally have a different material and transport cost from a lighter 1.8 m design.
When comparing suppliers, ask for an itemised offer showing the fence panel price, post price, clamp and fixing price, gate price and freight cost. This approach helps you identify offers that look cheaper simply because suppliers exclude essential installation components.
Key Factors That Influence Total Cost
- Height and width: larger panels contain more steel and may need heavier support structures.
- Mesh opening and wire diameter: tighter apertures and thicker wire affect steel consumption and fabrication cost.
- Corrosion protection: pre-galvanised wire, post-fabrication galvanising, powder coating and duplex finishes have different cost structures.
- Posts and foundations: post thickness, height, base plates, embedment and site conditions can materially change the system cost.
- Order volume: bulk purchase quantities may improve production, pallet and container utilisation.
- Shipping destination: FOB, CIF and destination-delivered quotations cover different responsibilities and charges.
When comparing Clearvu fencing for sale from different suppliers, request the same height, wire configuration, coating and included accessories in every quotation. This makes the price comparison more meaningful.
Simple estimating example: A straight 300 m fence line with nominal 3.0 m bays requires approximately 100 panels and 101 line/end post positions before allowance for gates, corners, changes in levels, waste and actual post-centre spacing. This is only an early budgeting example; use the final layout drawing to determine the accurate bill of quantities.
For a project-specific Clearvu fence price per metre or price per complete set, please send the required height, total linear metres, mesh aperture, wire diameter, preferred coating, destination and gate schedule. Request a factory quotation from BMP.
Corrosion Protection for African Climates
Choose the surface treatment according to the installation environment, whether inland, coastal, industrial, humid or polluted. Coating selection should consider local exposure, maintenance expectations, fabrication method and the project specification. Explore our powder-coated fence guide when comparing protective finishes.
| Finish | Main Benefit | Key Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-galvanised steel wire | Zinc protection for the steel wire | Check coating mass and how the manufacturer protects weld areas |
| Hot-dip galvanising after fabrication | Zinc coating over accessible fabricated surfaces | Specify the applicable standard and verify compatibility with mesh geometry |
| Galvanised + powder coated | Additional colour and barrier protection | Surface preparation, adhesion, film thickness and coating compatibility matter |
| Thermoplastic / PVC-type coating | Thicker protective polymer finish in selected systems | Verify material type, UV resistance and long-term suitability |
| Zinc-aluminium alloy-coated wire | Alternative metallic corrosion-protection system | Confirm coating designation, application process and test evidence |
When a project specifies ISO 1461:2022, note that the standard covers hot-dip coatings on fabricated iron and steel articles; it does not automatically cover continuously galvanised welded mesh wire. For pre-coated wire, identify the relevant wire-product standard and coating designation separately. Suppliers should document coating compliance against the exact production process and supporting test results rather than relying on a generic product description.
For coastal developments reviewing Clearvu fencing for sale, specify the intended exposure conditions before choosing a finish. Ask for the coating type, required thickness and applicable inspection documents in writing.
Common Commercial and Industrial Applications
Contractors and security consultants often choose Clearvu fencing for sites that need a visible but difficult-to-climb perimeter. Select the fence height, anchoring and security accessories according to the site risk assessment and applicable local requirements.
- Commercial and industrial premises: warehouses, factories, business parks and logistics yards.
- Residential developments: housing estates, private properties, apartment complexes and gated communities.
- Infrastructure: utility sites, electrical substations, transport facilities and selected public works projects.
- Education and public facilities: schools, campuses, sports grounds and municipal boundaries.
- High-security projects: controlled-access sites that combine engineered anti-climb mesh, secure fixings and surveillance.
Components Included in a Complete Fence Kit
A complete system is more than the welded mesh panel. Depending on the project, a BMP supply package can include fence panels, steel posts, post caps, spider clamps or flat-bar fixings, security bolts, base plates, swing gates, pedestrian gates and sliding gates. Optional security additions may include Y-arms, wall spikes, tension wire, razor wire and provision for electronic surveillance or access control. For access points, see our Clearvu gate options and sliding gate systems.
Before manufacturing, the buyer and BMP should agree on gate opening dimensions, mounting side, ground clearance, post-centre distances, installation method and exactly which components each kit includes. For powered gates, review the gate and automation specification separately from the standard fence panel quotation.
Installation and Site Planning
Correct installation is essential for durability and security. Our step-by-step fence installation guide provides additional practical context. A common workflow is to survey the boundary, confirm underground services and ground conditions, set out the post centres, install approved foundations or anchors, align the posts, fix the panels using the specified hardware and inspect the final assembly. Installers should resolve changes in height, slopes, gates and corners on the layout drawing before starting work.
Engineers cannot determine foundation sizes or post embedment from panel dimensions alone. Local wind loads, soil conditions, fence height, terrain, public safety requirements and engineering standards affect the design. BMP can provide product drawings and component information, while a qualified local installer or engineer should confirm the site-specific structural solution.
Buyers sourcing Clearvu fencing for sale for larger projects should share their layout drawings early, especially where the design includes gates, sloping ground or changes of direction. Accurate drawings help avoid unnecessary accessory shortages.
Manufacturing and Export Supply Across Africa
BMP's manufacturing base is in Anping County, Hebei, China, a major wire-mesh production region. As a factory supplier rather than a claimed local installation contractor, BMP focuses on manufacturing, configuration, export packaging and international shipping coordination for overseas buyers.
We welcome project enquiries from South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Eswatini and other markets. Our South African Clearvu fencing overview discusses typical local applications. Buyers may request quotations for relevant destinations including Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Gaborone, Harare, Lusaka, Maputo and Dar es Salaam. Shipment routing and inland delivery availability depend on the agreed Incoterms, destination and current logistics options.
BMP may quote FOB China port, CIF named destination seaport or an individually negotiated destination-delivery arrangement. BMP quotations do not automatically include import duties, customs clearance, local taxes or on-site installation; each quotation should explain exactly which charges and services it covers.
Why Work with BMP as Your Factory Supplier?
- Factory-based sourcing: communicate directly with a China-based producer of welded mesh fencing and matching accessories.
- Project-specific quotations: request pricing per panel, linear metre or full fencing system.
- Specification flexibility: choose dimensions, mesh opening, wire diameter, post profile, fittings and protective finish.
- Technical coordination: review drawings and component schedules before production.
- Export packaging: steel-pallet packing options for international shipment.
- Shipment coordination: assistance with agreed commercial documents and freight arrangements.
Quality Assurance and Inspection Documents
Before BMP confirms a bulk order, purchasers can request the relevant technical datasheet, approved shop drawing, finish specification and inspection requirements. Depending on the order agreement, relevant checkpoints may include wire diameter and aperture checks, panel length and height measurements, weld appearance, post and clamp fit-up, coating inspection, gate pre-assembly verification and pallet packing checks.
Important: buyers should verify certification, SGS inspection results, coating test reports and warranty coverage against valid documents for the actual manufacturer and shipment. Simply citing an outdated certification version or a general industry standard does not prove that a particular shipment meets certification requirements. The sales contract must state any warranty period and relate it to the chosen coating and operating conditions.
How to Request an Itemised Wholesale Quote
To receive an accurate Clearvu fencing for sale quotation, send your total required linear metres or panel quantity, preferred panel size, mesh aperture, wire diameter, post section, colour, protective finish, gates and security accessories. Include your delivery city or seaport and whether you need a panel-only or complete-system quotation. A site drawing or bill of quantities is especially helpful for large projects.
For bulk project enquiries, approximately 300 linear metres may be a useful starting quantity for discussion, although minimum quantities and production lead times depend on the design and order mix. BMP will confirm manufacturing time, payment terms, offer validity and freight schedule in its written quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions from Buyers
What is the difference between Clearvu fencing and 358 security fencing?
Clearvu is a commercial term that buyers and suppliers commonly use for see-through welded mesh security fencing. A 358 fence refers more specifically to narrow-aperture mesh, typically about 76.2 × 12.7 mm with approximately 4 mm wire. Not every product that suppliers sell as Clearvu fencing shares the same aperture or wire thickness.
Can I buy Clearvu fencing per metre instead of per panel?
Yes. BMP can prepare quotations based on total linear metres, individual panels or complete kits. A linear-metre system price should clearly identify whether it includes posts, clamps, bolts, gates, coating and delivery.
What panel height is suitable for a commercial property?
Common commercial project heights include 2.1 m and 2.4 m, but there is no universal best height. Site risk, planning rules, access control, foundation design and budget should determine the final choice.
Are galvanised steel panels completely rust-proof?
Do not describe any steel fencing system as completely rust-proof. Suitable galvanising and compatible powder or polymer coatings can improve corrosion resistance. Coastal and aggressive industrial environments require particular attention to coating quality and maintenance.
How do powder coating and galvanising compare?
Galvanising provides metallic zinc corrosion protection, whereas powder coating creates a coloured protective finish. A compatible galvanised-and-powder-coated system combines both approaches, but its performance depends on preparation, coating quality and exposure conditions.
Does the quoted price include posts and accessories?
Not necessarily. Some quotations cover panels only, while others include posts, metal clamps, bolts and complete gate systems. A listing for Clearvu fencing for sale may therefore reflect the panel price rather than the installed-system cost. Request an itemised specification and packing list before comparing supplier prices.
Which African countries can BMP ship to?
BMP accepts export enquiries for these and other African destinations. BMP confirms the available shipping method, named port, inland delivery scope and estimated freight charges for each order; no one can guarantee these details in advance.
Are black, green and custom RAL colours available?
Yes. Common requests include black RAL 9005 and green RAL 6005, while BMP can discuss other RAL colours. The approved order documents should list the final colour, coating system and finish requirements.
What is the typical manufacturing lead time?
Manufacturing lead time depends on the panel design, order quantity, coating process, gates and current production schedule. BMP will confirm the agreed production period in the quotation or proforma invoice instead of promising one lead time for every project.
