ClearVu Anti-Climb Mesh vs Brick Boundary Walls: Cost per Running Metre Guide
Guide Type: Comparison guide
Compare anti-climb mesh fencing and brick boundary walls by running metre: privacy, security, foundations, access, gates and finishing scope.
Quick answer
Anti-climb mesh and a brick boundary wall solve different problems. Mesh is usually a lighter, visually open security boundary; brick provides a substantial opaque enclosure. Price the full boundary system, including foundations, gates, terrain and services.
How to compare the options
| Option | Best suited to | Include in the allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Anti-climb mesh fencing | Security-focused boundaries where visibility and lower visual mass are useful. | Panel height, post spacing, foundations, coatings, gates, terrain and anti-climb additions. |
| Brick boundary wall | Privacy, acoustic separation and a solid architectural edge. | Footings, wall height, piers, coping, plaster or face finish, drainage and gates. |
Cost and planning checklist
- Measure every change in level, return, gate opening and service crossing rather than only a straight boundary length.
- Confirm boundary position, height controls, neighbour considerations and local approvals before construction.
- Separate electric fencing, lighting, access control and cameras from the base boundary allowance.

Frequently asked questions
Which option gives better security?
Security is a system outcome: boundary type, gates, access control, lighting, surveillance and maintenance all matter.
Are boundary wall footings included?
They must be explicitly included. Soil, wall height, piers and slope can materially change the foundation scope.
Important
Confirm the final product, scope, installation method, drawings, approvals and professional requirements for the specific site before committing to work.
