How to Take Accurate Measurements for Your Fence Project
Before ordering your fence, it’s essential to measure your site carefully. The measuring process is the same whether you’re installing posts on base plates or setting them directly in the ground.
Don’t worry—even if you’re new to fencing, just follow these straightforward steps.
1. Determine the Total Length
Example perimeter measurement: 20+10+20+10 = 60 m
Example for an L-shaped yard: add up each side
2. Choose the Height
H: Measure your fence height based on the above-ground portion.
Your needs:
0.6m to 1.2m: ideal for marking property lines
1.5m to 1.8m: a good balance for home security and privacy
2.0m and above: best for maximum privacy
+8-12 in for posts set on a wall
+12-20 in for posts set directly in the ground
(depends on soil type)
Check your local regulations for permitted fence heights before making a decision.
Local regulations:
Most municipalities have zoning rules that may set a maximum fence height. In some areas, you may be limited to 6 ft or required to follow specific design guidelines (such as in subdivisions or historic districts). Always check with your local building department before ordering to avoid issues.

3. Decide if You Need a Base (Sill)
A base (concrete curb or slab) can help:
- • Prevent grass from growing under the fence
- • Hold back soil if your yard isn’t level (up to 30% of the base height)
- • Add stability
- • Deter animals from entering your yard
- • Enhance the overall appearance
If your ground is flat and even, a base is optional.
There are two main types of bases: concrete or powder-coated steel.

4. Decide if You Need a Base Plate
A base plate lets you anchor your posts to a concrete surface. On a wall or concrete slab, it secures both the post and the fence panel.
Note: If you plan to add privacy slats to a rigid fence, setting posts in concrete is recommended. Using base plates is not advised in this case, as the added weight and wind load can damage the fence.
5. Account for Sloped Ground
Stepped installation (tiered sections): Each section is installed level, but each is set higher or lower than the previous one.
To plan this, measure the length of each level section (horizontal segment).
You can add a base to each tier, either by burying it or cutting it to fit.
Alternatively, cut your panels as needed or use chain link mesh, which is easier to adapt to slopes.

If you’re unsure, contact our customer service at 0422531034.
6. Calculate the Number of Posts Needed

The number of posts depends on your total fence length and the type of fence. Each fence panel is installed between two posts.
A standard panel is 2.5 m long.
Example: For 25 m of fencing with 2.5 m panels: 25 ÷ 2.5 = 10 panels
You’ll need 11 posts (1 starter post + 1 post between each panel)
Our posts are designed to handle corners, so you don’t need extra corner posts! However, if you’re installing a base, double the number of posts.
Each rigid mesh panel is 2.5 meters long.
For certain layouts or specific lengths—such as 6 meters or along a curve—you can trim a panel to fit. Rigid mesh panels can be cut easily with the right tool (angle grinder or bolt cutters) for a custom fit.
In Summary:
Measure your total perimeter.
Choose your fence height (based on your needs and local rules).
Decide if you need a base or base plates.
Check if your ground is sloped or flat.
Count your corners to determine the right number of posts.
With these details, you’ll be ready to select the fence that fits your property best.

The complete kit includes rigid panels with 5/5mm wires, notched posts for setting in concrete, finishing caps to protect the posts, and mounting wedges to hold the panels in place during installation. All necessary components are supplied based on the selected length, so you have everything you need for immediate installation.
A 5/5mm wire diameter provides greater strength compared to thinner 4mm wires. This thickness delivers excellent resistance to impacts, intrusion attempts, and harsh weather. 5/5mm rigid fence panels are ideal for areas exposed to strong winds or where extra security is needed, such as containing large animals.
Yes, this rigid mesh fence kit is well-suited for installation on sloped ground using the stepped method. The fence panels are installed horizontally, following the slope in steps for a clean, professional look. For steeper slopes, you can use special accessories like base plates to fill gaps under the panels and ensure a secure, even installation.
