Assumptions
We assume that the land is a square and the prices of the material are correct at the time of writing. We don't account for labour, transport and county government license required for construction.
1. Chain-link Fencing
Chain-link fencing is a popular choice for securing plots in Kenya due to its affordability and durability. The cost of chain-link fencing can range from Ksh 1,500 to Ksh 3,000 per linear meter. For a 240-meter perimeter, the total cost would be approximately Ksh 360,000 to Ksh 720,000.
2. Barbed Wire Fencing
Barbed wire fencing is also cost-effective and provides effective security. The cost of barbed wire fencing can vary from Ksh 800 to Ksh 1,500 per linear meter, amounting to a total cost of around Ksh 192,000 to Ksh 360,000 for a 240-meter perimeter.
3. Plant/live Fencing or Hedges
Most fences are a combination of chain link fences and hedges. These can't be pleasing and also the cheapest option. The most expensive part of this is the maintentance to keep it short and trimmed. It's eeasy to see why it the most preferred.
4. Concrete Fencing
Concrete fencing is durable and provides excellent security and privacy. However, it is the most expensive option. The cost of concrete fencing can range from Ksh 5,000 to Ksh 8,000 per linear meter, amounting to a total cost of around Ksh 1,200,000 to Ksh 1,920,000 for a 240-meter perimeter wall.
