Concrete fencing panels and poles
Concrete fencing is built from stacked panels held between concrete fencing poles, which are set in concrete footings. Panels come in several finishes and heights:
- Plain smooth, rock-face, brick-look or slatted panels
- Heights from about 1.2 m to 2.4 m or more, built up panel by panel
- Posts in different lengths to suit the height
- Can be painted or left as natural concrete
Because the panels are made in a factory, the finish is even and installation is fast. A crew can often put up a full residential boundary in a few days once the post footings have set.
Concrete palisade fencing
Concrete palisade fencing, also called palisade concrete fencing, uses concrete stakes with pointed tops fixed to concrete rails. It is lower and more open than a panel wall, so it suits front gardens, farm entrances, parks and cemeteries. Some walls mix solid panels at the bottom with a palisade top for a lighter look. Like steel palisade, it can take an electric fence or razor wire on top. Concrete does not rust, so it is a practical choice near the coast and in damp areas, and it needs no repainting unless you want a colour.
Price of concrete fencing
The price of concrete fencing depends on the height, the panel finish, the boundary length and the ground. Sloped sites need stepped panels, and rocky or soft ground affects digging and footings. Delivery of heavy panels and crane or truck access to the site also count. Ask whether painting, gates and the removal of an old fence are included. Your municipality may need to approve a new boundary wall under the National Building Regulations, especially for taller walls or walls on a street boundary, so ask your contractor to confirm.

How to compare concrete fencing quotes
The cheapest price per metre is not always the best value in fencing. When your concrete fencing quote arrives, check:
- Materials: the wire or steel thickness, the type of galvanising or coating, and the pole size and spacing. Thinner material looks the same on day one but fails sooner.
- Foundations: how deep the poles are set and whether they are concreted. Most fence failures start at the posts.
- What is included: gates, locks, corner stays, removal of an old fence, site clearing and rubble removal.
- Guarantee and timing: workmanship guarantees, the expected start date and how long installation will take.
Our service passes your request to a contractor who works in your area, so you can ask these questions before you commit. It costs nothing and you are under no obligation to accept the quote.
Request a concrete fencing quote
To get an accurate quote quickly, include:
- The total length of the boundary in metres
- The wall height and the panel finish you want
- Whether the ground is flat or sloped
- Whether you want the wall painted and any gates included
- Whether an old fence or wall must be removed first
Photos or a rough sketch of the boundary help too. Mention them in the details and the contractor will ask for them.
Frequently asked questions
Is precast fencing cheaper than a brick wall?
It is usually quicker to put up than a brick wall, which cuts labour time. The final cost depends on the height, finish and site, so compare written quotes for both.
Do I need approval for a precast concrete wall?
Often yes. Many municipalities need plans approved for boundary walls, especially taller ones or those on a street boundary. Your contractor or the local building department can confirm.
