Cleaning up after the storm

Many fencing options are available for protecting and securing a business. The fence you choose depends on your needs. Consider the following two options.

Chain Mesh Fencing

Chain mesh provides a more utilitarian appearance than other styles like tubular metal fences. If you're running a factory, a warehouse or an industrial site, a versatile chain mesh fence is a great option. The webbing rolls out in multiple heights, making it easy to construct barriers ranging from waist-high to several metres tall.

For a more substantial structure, you can select thicker gauge wire with a smaller diamond size to form a tighter weave. Additionally, contractors can attach rolled barbed wire along the fence top to amp up security. Chain mesh also comes with many gate options, including double driveway gates and walk-through ones to cater to different environments. If you need to secure a large property, like a school or playground, chain mesh helpfully makes installation quicker as contractors unroll the meshing and attach it to periodic posts.

Chain mesh allows for clear surveillance, so people who look after children and guards who watch business premises have an unobstructed view. As well, you can install coloured PVC-covered web in black, brown, or green to create a smarter appearance. Alternatively, you could go with an unobtrusive silver fence.

Tubular Metal Barriers

Tubular metal provides a decorative fencing option which is ideal for medical businesses, lawyers and architectural firms that want to create a professional and attractive barrier rather than a utilitarian barrier.

These structures typically use either aluminium or steel powder-coated in various hues like black, green, cream, blue, or grey. This process also protects the metal with a hard baked-on paint layer that inhibits rust. Aluminium, in any case, naturally repels this reddish-brown corrosion, making it the perfect choice for coastal regions, industrial areas, and other spaces with a corrosive atmosphere.

Tubular metal commercial fencing comes in varied designs, allowing you to style it to your premises. For example, loop-top types finish at the top with the bent metal pipes forming a series of loops, thus adding a touch of ornament. Otherwise, spearhead designs add a fancy tip that deters fence climbers. The metal rails can be filled with scrolls, circles, crosses and other shapes, depending on how simple or elaborate you want the wall.

You'll have some height options, though tubular metal doesn't create extremely tall barriers as does chain link. Additionally, tubular metal with gaps between the railings doesn't secure children and pets as well as chain webbing that gives them no chance of wriggling through the barrier.
