What about the height of the palisade fencing? And of course, palisade fencing gates? It all depends. As always, it will come down to the specific requirements of the fencing project.

Galvanizing is something most of the steel palisade fences and gates have. They are covered with a zinc coating, giving it extra protection from corrosion.

The powder coating not only gives it the look you want, but it also acts as a protective factor against corrosion.
