Razor coil and barbed wire installations on walls, fences, and perimeter barriers for added security.
Pricing Guide: R180 - R450 per metre installed
Razor wire and barbed wire remain among the most effective physical deterrents for perimeter security in Pretoria. We supply and install a full range of razor wire and barbed wire products on walls, fences, and dedicated barrier structures for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
Our razor wire offerings include razor coil (concertina wire), flat wrap razor wire, and welded razor mesh panels. Razor coil is the most common choice, available in 450mm, 600mm, and 730mm diameters. We install it along the top of walls, on palisade fences, on clearview panels, and as standalone barriers on dedicated posts. Flat wrap razor wire sits flatter against a surface and is particularly effective on wall tops where a lower profile is desired.

Barbed wire is a more traditional and cost-effective option, commonly used on farm fences, boundary walls, and perimeter fencing in Pretoria's semi-rural areas and smallholdings. We install standard barbed wire in single, double, and triple strand configurations, as well as high-tensile barbed wire for longer runs.
Our razor wire and barbed wire installation prices in Pretoria range from R180 to R450 per metre, depending on the product type, number of runs, and installation height. A single-run razor coil on an existing wall typically costs R200 to R280 per metre, while multi-run configurations or installations requiring dedicated support brackets cost more.
Safety and legal compliance are central to every installation. In South Africa, razor wire and barbed wire must be installed at a minimum height above ground level, and appropriate warning signage must be displayed. We ensure every installation meets local municipal by-laws and SABS standards. Where razor wire is installed near public pathways or adjacent properties, we take extra care with positioning and height to prevent accidental contact.
We also offer razor wire and barbed wire removal services, as well as repairs and replacement of existing installations that have become damaged, rusted, or ineffective. Our team works efficiently and safely, using proper protective equipment and securing all cut ends to prevent hazards.
For properties that need maximum deterrent effect, we often recommend combining razor wire with electric fencing. This dual-layer approach provides both a physical barrier and an active shock deterrent, creating a perimeter that is exceptionally difficult to breach.
