Professional Fence Specialist in Sri Lanka
Fence Specialist in Sri Lanka – expert in installing and repairing fences, gates, and outdoor barriers.
Fencing in Sri Lanka costs about Rs 550 to Rs 1,400 per running foot for chain link on concrete posts, Rs 1,800 to Rs 5,500 for a steel grill fence, and Rs 4,500 to Rs 9,500 for a 6 ft plastered block boundary wall.
Corrosion is the deciding factor on anything metal. Within a few kilometres of the coast in Colombo, Negombo, Moratuwa or Galle, plain mild steel rusts through in a handful of years unless it is properly primed and repainted; hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated sections cost more up front and last far longer. Concrete posts outlast steel posts everywhere in this climate.
Check your boundary and any local authority setback rules before building a wall. Post the job on Snapwerks with the run in feet and fencing contractors near you will quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How much does fencing cost per foot in Sri Lanka?
Chain link on concrete posts costs Rs 550 to Rs 1,400 per running foot, timber or bamboo Rs 700 to Rs 2,200, steel grill Rs 1,800 to Rs 5,500, and a 6 ft plastered block wall Rs 4,500 to Rs 9,500 per running foot including materials.
2. What does a boundary wall cost in Sri Lanka?
A 6 ft block boundary wall with plaster on both sides costs roughly Rs 4,500 to Rs 9,500 per running foot. Foundation depth, ground conditions, block quality and whether you add coping, paint or a gate are what move it within that range.
3. How much is a gate, and what does automation add?
A swing or sliding gate supplied and fitted costs Rs 45,000 to Rs 250,000 depending on size, material and design. Adding an automation kit with motor, remote and safety sensors costs a further Rs 85,000 to Rs 320,000. Confirm there is a manual release for power cuts.
4. Which fence material lasts longest in Sri Lanka?
Concrete and masonry, then hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated steel, then plain painted mild steel, then timber. Coastal salt air is brutal on ungalvanised metal, so within a few kilometres of the sea, pay for the galvanising rather than repainting every two years.
5. Do I need approval to build a boundary wall?
Check with your local authority before starting, since height limits and setbacks vary. Also confirm the boundary line with your neighbour in writing. A wall built even slightly over the line is expensive to argue about and more expensive to move.
