ClearVu Anti-Climb Fencing Guide: Heights, Gates, Foundations and Security Scope
Guide Type: Buyer guide
Plan a ClearVu-style anti-climb mesh boundary correctly: panel height, posts, foundations, gates, terrain and the separate electronic-security scope.
Quick answer
A ClearVu-style mesh boundary is a system of panels, posts, foundations, gates and site-specific details. Compare proposals by finished boundary length and height, while recording every level change, gate, return and security add-on.
How to compare the options
| Option | Best suited to | Include in the allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh fence run | Security boundaries where visibility and lower visual mass are useful. | Panel height, posts, foundations, terrain, coatings and installation access. |
| Gates and security additions | Vehicle or pedestrian access and enhanced perimeter protection. | Gate structure, automation, electric fencing, lighting, cameras and power supply. |
Cost and planning checklist
- Measure changes in level and returns instead of using only a straight boundary length.
- Confirm property line, height controls and approvals before work starts.
- Keep electric fencing and access control as separately described allowance items.

Frequently asked questions
Does anti-climb mesh replace all security measures?
No. Security is a combined design of boundary, gate, lighting, access control, surveillance and ongoing maintenance.
Why are foundations important?
Post foundations must suit height, ground conditions, wind exposure, gates and the geometry of the boundary.
Important
Confirm the final product, scope, installation method, drawings, approvals and professional requirements for the specific site before committing to work.
