Industrial metal fencing types come in different sizes and designs. If you are an owner of industrial premises, meaning you have spaces that are used for manufacturing, processing, assembling or any combination of the latter, you may be interested in this blog post.
This blog post will focus on various industrial metal fencing types, the benefits of installing sturdy and functional security fencing for your industrial spaces, and how to maintain these fencing types.
Benefits of industrial metal fences
Below are the top three reasons why industrial fencing pays off.
1. Security.
Sturdy and robust metal fencing will potentially protect your industrial premises from theft. It is important to have highly functioning security fencing, especially if you have expensive machinery or equipment on the premises.
2. Safety
Having industrial fencing in the right places on your premises can keep your employees, as well as external visitors, safe. It includes wildlife.
3. Aesthetics
A strong well-installed and well-maintained industrial metal fencing can increase the value of your premises by improving the aesthetics.
Industrial metal fencing types
Many different fencing styles can be used as industrial fencing. Below are Diamond Fence’s top five recommendations.
- Chain link fencing
- Tubular steel fencing
- Colorbond steel fencing
- Aluminium slat fencing
- Welded mesh fencing
In addition to sturdy and high-security fencing, Diamond Fence also recommends installing automatic gates that can handle continuous operation throughout the day. Automatic gates are especially important if there is a high traffic volume on the premises.
Maintenance of industrial fencing
Industrial metal fencing, simply due to its environment, can gather a significant amount of dust, dirt and debris. It is essential to clean it at least twice a year to ensure that external factors will not create an environment perfect for moisture, which we know can lead to rusting of your metal fence. If the fence is located near the coast, it is advised to wash your fencing every three months.
How to clean your metal fence? With a broom, remove any cobwebs and debris. Then wash the fence with a mild solution of soap or non-abrasive kitchen detergent with warm water. For more stubborn dirt stains, use a soft sponge. Lastly, rinse the fence with clean water.
Ongoing maintenance is also necessary to identify any damages in the fencing’s overall structure (for example, leaning posts), paintwork or loose palings. Once detected, the damage should be fixed as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your industrial metal fencing.
