The price of an electric fence in Tanzania depends mainly on the perimeter size, system components and installation requirements. At MattyTech Global Inc, current installed rates range from TSh 14,000 to TSh 18,000 per metre for perimeters of 50 metres and above, while smaller projects are quoted according to materials plus installation.
How much does an electric fence cost per meter in Tanzania?
Electric fence prices in Tanzania vary by installer and project scope, but a per-metre price is useful only when you know what is included. At MattyTech Global Inc, the current rate includes materials and installation for qualifying perimeter sizes.
For a property owner comparing quotations, the important question is not simply “How much per metre?” It is what does that price include?
A quotation can differ depending on the perimeter length, energizer selected, number of fence lines, installation requirements and other materials needed for the property.
For example, MattyTech Global Inc currently uses the following pricing structure:
| Perimeter size | MattyTech Global Inc price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 150 metres and above | TSh 14,000/m | Materials + installation |
| 100m to below 150m | TSh 16,000/m | Materials + installation |
| 50m to below 100m | TSh 18,000/m | Materials + installation |
| Below 50m | Project-specific | Required materials + TSh 200,000 installation |
These are MattyTech Global Inc’s current prices, not an official Tanzania-wide tariff. For comparison, publicly advertised Tanzanian electric-fence prices can differ, which reinforces why property owners should confirm exactly what each quotation includes.
How much does a 150-meter electric fence cost?
At MattyTech Global Inc’s current rate, a 150-metre perimeter falls into the 150 metres and above category and costs TSh 2,100,000, including materials and installation.
The calculation is straightforward: 150m × TSh 14,000 = TSh 2,100,000.
Because MattyTech’s rate decreases for larger perimeters, the price per metre is not necessarily the same for a 50-metre property and a 150-metre property.
How much does a 100-meter electric fence cost?
A 100-metre perimeter is charged at TSh 16,000 per metre under MattyTech Global Inc’s current pricing structure. That gives an estimated installed cost of TSh 1,600,000.
This price includes the materials and installation covered by the applicable MattyTech rate.
How much does a 50-meter electric fence cost?
A perimeter of 50 metres falls into MattyTech Global Inc’s 50m to below 100m category, currently priced at TSh 18,000 per metre. The estimated total is therefore TSh 900,000, including materials and installation.
For properties below 50 metres, MattyTech does not simply multiply the perimeter by the standard per-metre rate because the equipment required can have a larger effect on the total project cost.
How much does an electric fence below 50 meters cost?
For a perimeter below 50 metres, MattyTech Global Inc calculates the required materials and adds a TSh 200,000 installation charge.
The materials can include the energizer required for the particular project. MattyTech’s current energizer options are TSh 270,000 for a normal energizer, TSh 370,000 for a smart energizer, and TSh 470,000 for a hybrid smart energizer.
This means a small perimeter should be quoted individually rather than assuming that the 50–100 metre rate automatically applies.
What is included in MattyTech’s electric fence installation price?
For the standard per-metre categories, MattyTech Global Inc’s quoted price includes materials and installation. The system is normally installed as an eight-line electric fence, although a 12-line configuration can be provided when the client’s security requirements call for it.
The energizer is an important part of the system, and IEC 60335-2-76:2018 safety requirements for electric-fence energizers specifically cover energizers used with domestic, agricultural, animal-control and security fences.
For a property owner, this is why a quotation should be evaluated as a complete system rather than simply comparing the price of fence wire.

What electric fence energizers does MattyTech Global Inc offer?
MattyTech Global Inc currently offers three energizer options depending on the project requirements:
- Normal energizer — TSh 270,000
- Smart energizer — TSh 370,000
- Hybrid smart energizer — TSh 470,000
The energizer is not just an optional accessory; it is the component that energizes or monitors the fence wires. The IEC standard for electric-fence energizers specifically addresses the safety of equipment used to electrify or monitor security-fence wires.
MattyTech also uses the Hybrid Spark X Ultra (Smart) on applicable installations.
What is a hybrid smart electric fence energizer?
A hybrid smart energizer is the higher-level energizer option offered by MattyTech Global Inc, with the Hybrid Spark X Ultra (Smart) used on applicable installations. MattyTech describes this option as one that can be accessed through a mobile phone, giving the property owner an additional way to interact with the system.
The current MattyTech price for the hybrid smart energizer is TSh 470,000. The appropriate energizer should be selected according to the property’s security requirements and the system being installed rather than choosing solely on price.
How many electric fence lines does MattyTech install?
MattyTech Global Inc normally installs an eight-line electric fence. If a property owner requires additional security coverage, MattyTech can install a 12-line configuration based on the client’s requirements.
The number of lines should therefore be treated as part of the system specification when comparing quotations. Two electric-fence quotations should not automatically be considered equivalent simply because both contractors quote a price per metre.

How much did a real MattyTech electric fence project cost in Kigamboni?
One real MattyTech Global Inc project in Geza Juu, Kigamboni, Dar es Salaam had a perimeter of 272 metres. The project was charged at TSh 13,000 per metre, and MattyTech installed eight lines using a Hybrid Spark X Ultra (Smart) system.
That project works out to TSh 3,536,000 at the stated TSh 13,000/m project rate. It is a useful example of why an actual quotation can differ from a standard published rate: the property’s size and specific project requirements can affect the final price.
This example should not be interpreted as saying every 272-metre perimeter will cost TSh 13,000/m. It is a real MattyTech project example, while the current standard published rate for perimeters of 150 metres and above is TSh 14,000/m.
Why does the electric fence price change with perimeter size?
The cost per metre can decrease as the perimeter becomes larger because the project is being priced across a greater length of fence. MattyTech’s current pricing reflects this by charging TSh 14,000/m for 150 metres and above, compared with TSh 18,000/m for 50 metres to below 100 metres.
For very small projects, MattyTech uses a different calculation because the required equipment can represent a significant part of the total cost. This is why projects below 50 metres are priced using the required materials plus a TSh 200,000 installation charge.

What should you check before comparing electric fence quotes in Tanzania?
Before accepting the cheapest electric-fence quotation, check whether the quoted figure includes installation, energizer, fence lines and the other required materials. Also ask what type of energizer is being supplied and whether the proposed equipment is appropriate for a security-fence application.
The IEC 60335-2-76:2018 standard for electric-fence energizers is specifically concerned with the safety of energizers used for security fences, among other applications. That makes the equipment specification an important part of the buying decision, not merely the final price.
You should also ask the installer:
- How many fence lines are included?
- Which energizer is included?
- Are materials included?
- Is installation included?
- What happens if the perimeter is below 50 metres?
- What warranty or after-sales support is provided?
- How will the system be configured for the property’s specific security requirements?
Is the cheapest electric fence quotation always the best option?
Not necessarily. A lower price may reflect a different system specification, fewer fence lines, different equipment or a quotation that excludes some materials or installation work.
For a meaningful comparison, put the quotations side by side and compare the perimeter length, number of lines, energizer, materials, installation and included services. This gives you a more accurate picture than comparing the price per metre alone.
