The desire to secure your property is one of the most basic and natural needs. Separating a plot, both private and corporate, very often turns out to be necessary. Therefore, the fence should provide security and privacy to its owners, as well as create an aesthetic whole with the building and its surroundings. One of the most valued solutions that combine all these functions is a panel fence. However, before you decide on fencing panels on your property, it is worth learning a bit more about them.
What is panel fencing?
Fence panels are a cheap and aesthetic way to cover the area, which is gaining more and more supporters. Standard panel fencing is a light structure made of metal, straight bars in a horizontal or vertical arrangement. Ready, prefabricated spans are delivered to the assembly site and mounted to the fence posts with the use of system elements. The appearance of the fence panels may vary depending on the type selected.
Types of fencing panels
The most popular fencing panels include simple 2D models and more modern 3D panels.
- 2D fencing panels
2D fencing panels are quite rigid structures made of steel bars arranged in the form of a lattice. They are distinguished by high strength, durability, stiffness and resistance to mechanical damage. The thickness of the bars in the 2D fence panels and their spacing may vary. Typically, for the production of 2D fencing panels, mesh with single vertical wires and thicker, double horizontal wires is used. Some manufacturers also offer stronger versions of the so-called "Strong". If you want to ensure greater strength of the fence, it is worth choosing fence panels whose bars are not less than 5 mm thick.
- 3D fencing panels
The distinguishing feature of the 3D fencing panels are horizontal, three-dimensional V-shaped ribs. Thanks to this, the panels of this type create the effect of a slight convexity at the ribbing places. This undoubtedly increases the decorative value of the fence, but above all, it additionally stiffens the panel, making the fence more stable.
What are the fence panels made of?
Panel fencing is used for effective, aesthetic and quick fencing of a property. In addition to a large selection of patterns and colors of fencing panels, manufacturers make efforts to improve quality and extend their life. The choice of material has the greatest influence on this. As a standard, panel fencing is made of thick wire, which provides it with adequate stability, and moreover, it is not deformed or deformed. One of the most durable materials on the market is galvanized steel. The zinc coating perfectly protects the material against adverse factors such as rain, snow, sun or wind. As a result, galvanized fencing panels can be successfully used outdoors. For additional protection against corrosion, you can invest in powder coating or buy ready-made, powder-coated fencing panels. Thanks to this, you can also create fencing panels in various color versions.
Panel fencing - method of assembly
The erection of a panel fence does not require calling specialists. Most property owners can easily handle the assembly by themselves. If the plot is large, it is of course worth using the help of specialists, thanks to whom such a fence will be erected even in one day. In small areas or when time does not matter for us, you can successfully install a panel fence yourself. How to install a panel fence? The structure of the panel fencing consists of prefabricated elements. In fact, it is enough to properly connect them, attaching the ready-made elements to the posts solidly embedded in the ground. In this way, a fence is created panel by panel. There is no need for troublesome tightening of the material and no need to lay foundations under the entire fence. The foundation can be made under the fence panels for decorative reasons or when, for example, the owner of the property has a dog that could dig under the fence. Otherwise, it is not necessary, because the light spans are stable and durable, relying only on concreted posts.
Fence tape for fence panels
The construction of panel fences is characterized by high transparency. For some, this may be an advantage, while for others such a fence will not provide complete privacy. Fence panels, however, make it possible to mount fencing tapes on them. This is a great way to ensure an adequate level of privacy on the plot. But not only. Thanks to fence tapes, you can easily personalize and create a unique fence according to your own design. Fence tapes also provide additional protection against unfavorable weather conditions (wind, snow, rain), and also reduce the noise coming from behind the fence.
