Wire mesh price in Tanzania
Published · Updated
Wire mesh in Tanzania is sold by the bundle, the roll or the sheet, so a price means little without its unit, wire thickness and weight. On 12 November 2026 Kamaka's online shop in Dar es Salaam listed a 20 m roll of 4 ft chicken wire at TZS 39,000.

The ASHUBA page carries two figures for a roll. The price in its order form is TZS 95,000, while the Swahili description under it gives 125,000 for one roll and calls the wire PVC-coated. Ask the seller which one applies before you pay.
What changes the wire mesh cost
Wire thickness and weight. Kamaka’s Tanzanian-made weld mesh climbs from TZS 37,000 for a 2.1 mm, 13.2 kg bundle to TZS 75,000 for 3.0 mm at 26–27 kg. Divided by the listed weight, all six weld mesh bundles in the table cost between about TZS 2,780 and TZS 3,075 per kg — our calculation from the listed prices and weights. A cheaper bundle is mostly a lighter one.
Country of make. The Kenyan 2.5 mm bundle is TZS 12,500 cheaper than the Tanzanian 2.5 mm one, but it also weighs 4 kg less. Per kilogram the two come to TZS 3,063 and TZS 3,075 (our calculation).
Sheet or roll. An 8 × 4 ft BRC sheet covers about 2.97 m², so at TZS 19,500 it costs roughly TZS 6,560 per m². The 4.5 mm roll, 8 ft wide and 24–27 m long, covers about 58.5–65.8 m² and works out at roughly TZS 3,570–4,020 per m². Both are our calculations from the sizes in the listing names.
Coating. The plastic-coated 6 ft × 20 m chicken wire roll is listed at TZS 127,120, against TZS 49,000 for a plain 6 ft roll whose length the listing does not give.
How to read a BRC or weld mesh listing
BRC is the shop name for heavy welded steel mesh: Kamaka files every BRC sheet and roll under steel weldmesh. The letter-and-number codes are the ones UK suppliers use; according to BM Steel’s A252 product page, A252 mesh has 8 mm bars at 200 mm centres, giving 252 mm² of steel per metre width and 3.95 kg/m².
Do not buy by the code alone. In the table, the same shop lists one A142 roll with 5.5 mm wire and another with 6 mm wire, and the 15 m rolls differ by TZS 65,500. Check the wire diameter, the opening size and the roll length on every quote. The “5 pcs” in Kamaka’s weld mesh names is not explained on the product pages, so ask what one bundle holds. For the difference between mesh types and where each is used, see types of wire mesh.
How to get a wire mesh quote
- Name the type: weld mesh, BRC reinforcing mesh or chicken wire.
- Give the opening (for example 50 × 50 mm or 200 × 200 mm), the wire diameter in mm and the sheet or roll size.
- Say whether you need galvanised or plastic-coated wire.
- Ask for the weight of each bundle or roll, so you can compare rates per kilogram.
- Ask whether the price includes delivery and to which area.
