Privacy Fences in Jeddah: Types, Materials and Prices
A privacy fence delivers seclusion and defines the look of your façade at the same time. The options are many: steel, aluminium slats, wood, PVC, fabric — each with different strengths, price and lifespan. Here is the practical comparison.
Fence types
- Steel fences: strongest and most secure, needing anti-corrosion coating especially near the sea.
- Aluminium slat fences: the most refined look and rust-free, available in many colours and patterns.
- Woven fences: economical mesh suited to long boundaries and farms.
- Wooden fences: natural warmth, requiring periodic treatment against humidity.
- PVC fences: light, rust-free, easy to install and reasonably priced.
- Fabric fences: fastest and cheapest for temporary privacy or work sites.
Material comparison
| Type | Expected life | Maintenance | Approx. rate per m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel | 10 – 15 years | Recoat every 3 – 5 years | SAR 180 – 320 |
| Aluminium slats | 15 – 20 years | Very low | SAR 250 – 450 |
| Woven mesh | 8 – 12 years | Medium | SAR 120 – 220 |
| Wood | 6 – 10 years | High | SAR 220 – 400 |
| PVC | 8 – 12 years | Low | SAR 150 – 280 |
| Fabric | 3 – 5 years | Low | SAR 80 – 150 |
How to choose
- Privacy level required: closed slats block sight fully, unlike woven mesh.
- Distance from the sea: aluminium and PVC never rust; steel needs galvanising and quality coating.
- Required height: taller fences need stronger posts at shorter spacing.
- Harmony with the façade: the fence is part of the overall view, not a separate element.
- Budget against lifespan: the cheapest today can be the most expensive in five years.
Common installation mistakes
- Weak base fixings that cannot resist wind pressure across a large fence area.
- Post spacing too wide, causing waviness over time.
- Neglecting to coat weld points — the first place rust begins.
- Using interior-grade materials in a directly sun-exposed application.
