What a fence costs in metal slat or profiled sheet

One metre of 2 m fence costs 160–400 MDL in metal slat and 186–329 MDL in H-7, H-8, H-10 or H-20 profiled sheet, depending on the steel. Slats are counted at a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap): 8 slats a metre.

1 m of fence, 2 m highDrawn to scale · 8 slats of 2.00 m · one H-20 sheet of 2.00 m covers 1.07 m

One metre, three fences. Slat or profiled sheet.

Slat is sold by the linear metre: at a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap) a metre of fence takes 8 slats, cut to the fence's height. Sheet is sold by the m²: whole sheets stand side by side on their useful width. The range runs from the cheapest steel to the dearest: slat from 0.32 mm Taiwan (10 MDL/lin. m) to 0.42 mm Korea HI-MATT (25 MDL/lin. m), sheet from 0.32 mm Taiwan (90 MDL/m²) to 0.55 mm Korea V-MATT (153 MDL/m²).

Not included:
posts, the rails the slats or sheets are fixed to, screws, the posts' foundations, delivery and fitting. They are not in the catalogue, so they carry no price here.
Slat spacing:
every slat figure is at a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap), that is 8 slats a metre. Set closer, or on both sides in a staggered pattern, a fence takes more.
Whole sheets:
a sheet is never cut along its width, only to length. Each side of the fence is rounded up to whole sheets, so a fence with corners or a gate may take one more sheet a side.
Final price:
confirmed in the quote, from the fence's length, its height and the chosen steel.

One example, step by step. 30 m of fence, 2 m high.

This is how the table's figures are reached. The same rules give every row.

The fence
30 m long × 2 m high = 60 m² of fence
Slats
30 m × 8 a metre = 240 slats of 2.00 m = 480 m of slat
Slat, material
480 m × 10 MDL/lin. m = 4 800 MDL (0.32 mm Taiwan); × 25 MDL/lin. m = 12 000 MDL (0.42 mm Korea HI-MATT)
H-20 sheets
30 m ÷ 1070 mm useful width = 28.04 → 29 sheets of 2.00 m
Steel paid for
29 × 2.00 m × 1140 mm total width = 66.12 m²
Sheet, material
66.12 m² × 90 MDL/m² = 5 951 MDL (0.32 mm Taiwan); × 153 MDL/m² = 10 116 MDL (0.55 mm Korea V-MATT)

Questions on fences. Answers from the catalogue.

  1. How much does a metre of profiled sheet fence cost?

    A metre of H-7, H-8, H-10 or H-20 profiled sheet fence costs 140–247 MDL at 1.5 m high, 168–296 MDL at 1.8 m, 186–329 MDL at 2 m. These are averages over a long fence. A sheet is never cut along its width: one H-20 sheet covers 1.07 m, and each side of the fence is rounded up to whole sheets (for 30 m: 29 sheets). The range runs from 0.32 mm Taiwan to 0.55 mm Korea V-MATT.

  2. How much does a metal slat fence cost?

    The slat costs 10–25 MDL/lin. m. At a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap), a metre of fence takes 8 slats, so 80–200 MDL/m² of fence. A metre of fence: 120–300 MDL at 1.5 m high, 144–360 MDL at 1.8 m, 160–400 MDL at 2 m.

  3. How many slats or sheets does a 30 m fence take?

    240 slats at a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap), cut to the fence's height. In profiled sheet: 26 H-7 sheets (1155 mm), 26 H-8 sheets (1170 mm), 29 H-10 sheets (1070 mm), 29 H-20 sheets (1070 mm), by the profile's useful width. For 20 m: 160 slats or 18–19 sheets; for 50 m: 400 slats or 43–47 sheets.

  4. What does the table's price leave out?

    Posts, the rails the slats or sheets are fixed to, screws, the posts' foundations and fitting: they are not in the catalogue, so they carry no price here. In the Chișinău + 30 km zone, delivery of sheet orders over 100 m² is free; otherwise the delivery cost is confirmed in the quote, with the final price.

  5. Slat or profiled sheet: which comes out cheaper?

    It depends on the steel: at the cheapest the slat comes out cheaper, at the dearest the sheet. A metre of 2 m fence costs 160–400 MDL in slat and 186–329 MDL in profiled sheet. Per square metre of fence: slat 80–200 MDL/m² at a 125 mm pitch (a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap), sheet 93–164 MDL/m², the sheets' overlap included.
