We have been asked several times about how much is a concrete masonry fence per unit meter. We hope this post will help non-technical people estimate their concrete fences. We tried to be as specific as we can so you will find this easy.
This guide should help you gauge the construction materials breakdown of masonry concrete fence. This is broken down into 3 meter-span.
Figure 1 shows the typical fence we are going to estimate. The typical fence below is the basic concrete fence built in the Philippines. You can use this concrete fence plan to build your house fence.
Figure 2 – Typical Fence 3D Model
Figure 2 above shows the 3D model of the fence. Note that we have put the names per structural member so you would know the what we are referring to later on.
The typical concrete fence details in the Philippines are modeled below
Figure 3 – Footing Details 3D Model
Footing Details:
Concrete: 0.60m L x 0.60m W x 0.25m H
Reinforcing bars: 4pcs – 0.60m, 12mm Diameter Deformed bars for both horizontal and longitudinal bars.
Total of 8pcs – 0.60m, 12mm Diameter Deformed Bars
Figure 4 – Column Details 3D Model
Column Details:
Concrete: 2.45m H x 0.20m W x 0.20m L
Reinforcing bars:
Main Bars: 4pcs – 3.0m, 12mm Diameter Deformed bars
It’s hard to really explain how the numbers were computed. Anyhow, here is the summary of the materials for this masonry concrete fence plan. Note that only one set of column and footing were calculated in this example.

Again, only one set of column and footing were calculated.
The following are number of pieces per material used in the 3-meter fence above. No wastage factor were included. Normally, you would want to add 5%-10% of the materials above for the wastage factor.
