Product Information
Full details
This steel barrier fence is designed for property owners seeking a durable and corrosion-resistant boundary solution. Its primary benefit lies in its robust steel construction combined with a protective PVC coating, ensuring longevity and aesthetic appeal outdoors. A potential consideration is its weight, which may require secure installation methods. Key features include strong steel build, galvanization for rust protection, PVC coating for appearance, an interlocking design for flexibility and integrity, and customizable sizing.

FAQs
What are the main benefits of the PVC coating?
The PVC coating enhances the fence's appearance by providing a consistent color and protects the underlying steel from minor abrasions and UV exposure, helping to maintain its look over time.
Can this fence be used for security purposes?
While it provides a stable barrier, it is primarily designed for property demarcation and light containment. It is not intended for high-security applications that require significant resistance to cutting or climbing.
How do I cut the fence to a custom size?
You can cut the fence using heavy-duty wire cutters or bolt cutters. Ensure you wear protective gloves and eyewear, and carefully manage the cut ends to prevent unraveling.
Is this fence suitable for coastal environments?
The galvanization and PVC coating offer good corrosion resistance. However, in extremely harsh coastal conditions with constant salt spray, ongoing inspection and maintenance might be beneficial.
What is the weight of the fence per linear foot?
The total weight is 11.4 pounds for the entire roll. The weight per linear foot will depend on the total length of the roll, which is not specified. However, it is designed to be manageable for installation.
How does the interlocking design contribute to the fence?
The interlocking design allows adjacent pieces of the fence mesh to be woven or connected together securely. This creates a continuous barrier and enhances the overall structural integrity and flexibility of the fence line.
Troubleshooting
Fence is not staying taut.
Ensure posts are securely installed and spaced correctly. Use tensioning tools or additional support wires if needed. Check that the mesh is properly attached to each post.
PVC coating is scratched or damaged.
Minor scratches may not affect structural integrity. For significant damage, consider applying a compatible outdoor sealant or repair tape to prevent rust. Inspect the area regularly.
Interlocking sections are difficult to connect.
Ensure the ends of the mesh are straight and free of kinks. Gently flex the mesh to align the interlocking wires. Sometimes a firm push or tap can help secure the connection.
Rust spots appearing.
This can occur if the galvanization or PVC coating is compromised. Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting primer followed by a matching green exterior paint or sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Plan Layout: Determine the exact path for your fence.
- Prepare Ground: Ensure the ground is relatively level where posts will be inserted.
- Install Posts: Set fence posts securely into the ground at appropriate intervals (refer to installation guides for recommended spacing).
- Unroll Fence: Carefully unroll the fence mesh, attaching it to the posts.
- Secure Mesh: Use ties or staples to firmly attach the wire mesh to the posts, ensuring it is taut.
- Connect Sections: Overlap and interlock the ends of fence sections as you proceed, or connect them securely.
- Trim (if necessary): Cut the fence to size using appropriate tools if customization is required.
Compatibility:
This fence is compatible with standard fence posts (metal or wooden) and common fastening methods like wire ties, staples, or clamps. It is designed for ground installation.
Care:
- Regularly inspect the fence for any signs of damage to the PVC coating.
- Clean the fence with a damp cloth or mild soap and water if necessary to remove dirt or debris.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects that could damage the coating.
- Ensure water does not pool around the base of the fence to prevent potential corrosion at ground level over extended periods.
