When you are preparing to invest in a security fence, every detail plays an important role in the safety of you and your property. In particular, knowing the right materials is key. There are several great options for fence material, but only some of them are an ideal choice for a security fence. The following are three of the best choices that you could consider for building a security fence.
Durable Steel
Steel is probably the strongest material you could ask for in a security fence. It isn’t very flexible, but it can withstand a lot of impact and abuse without breaking. Some of the cons with steel are that it can be susceptible to rusting if it is not properly pretreated. Otherwise, steel is a great choice for its strength and durability. You will commonly see steel fences topped with spikes as decoration and an anti-climb measure.
Versatile Aluminum
Another comparable option to steel is aluminum fencing. Aluminum is a very popular material because it is flexible, versatile and cost-effective. You have seen it the most in the form of chain link fencing. Aluminum may be a lightweight metal but it is still very strong, and it has the added benefit of being completely resistant to moisture and rust. Also, aluminum fencing is a great choice if you would plan on adjusting and repositioning your fence in the future.
Ornamental Metal
Lastly, ornamental metal is somewhat of a middle ground between aluminum and steel. As the name suggests, this fencing material is ideal if you would like to add a beautiful aesthetic to your property while also maintaining security. It is a good choice if you have a lot of guests on your property, but would also like to keep out intruders when your building is closed. Each of these fencing materials has pros and cons that you can consider when looking for the best fit for you.
