Impossible to calculate as the fence depends on the length of the fence on not the area that it encompasses.

Well, give us your fence/wall length...

If you're in Cape Town try VoltageSA, they were really cheap when I used them a few years ago. Where there's no competition like Hermanus expect to pay 3X that.

Where?
When?
What type of perimeter walls?
What type of fence full fence 24+ wires or topp fence 6-12 wires?
Length of fence?
How many gates?
Stainless wire (Coast) or Aluminium or galvanised (Do not last long)?
etc!

How long is a piece of wire?

More details will help but I'd say R10k

Random thumb sucks always helps.

Of course. Now we know what it won't cost.

You get what you ask for.

I'd budget for around R15 000 to R18 000 for a proper install.

If you want something 100% compliant with Department of Labour legislation and properly put in then Gido is good.

Or if you go cheap you could be like my one neighbours whose fence broke after 3 weeks. A wire snapped at the one part and a branch fell and broke another section, because the wires had no springs in them, and now its just left switched off and pointless.
