Fencing

Urban Fencing
Shoppings centres for many years had open parking lots where you could park your car outside and spend a few hours in the centre, visiting shops or having lunch. To properly utilise space, parking structures were built. These parking structures had the added benefit of your car being out of the sun and if it rained you wouldn't have to get wet on the way to your car.
Having structures like this meant that malls could now charge for the privilege of undercover parking. An added benefit of this was that car theft from parking lots decreased.
Theft from parked cars, and incidents of smash and grab were still quite prevalent. Thieves could snatch things from vehicles stopped at the traffic light and disappear into the parking lot where it was difficult to chase them.
A solution
A solution to this problem and an increasing trend in new shopping centres as well as those who have begun to be more security conscious is the installation of wire mesh fencing.
Wire mesh fencing is a deterrent to criminal activity on the premises of the shopping centre as well as around the perimetre.
Why use wire mesh fence at a shopping centre?
- Wire mesh fence is not easily breakable
- The small apertures in the fence make it nearly impossible to climb. To someone trying to make a quick getaway it will be like facing a solid brick wall.
- The fence is not visible from a distance, this allows the centre to be seen
- The mesh fence acts as a deterrent because any escape route into the mall and its grounds by criminals in the street outside is effectively cut off.
- Anybody fleeing from the mall grounds will have to follow a route to the gate making it easier for them to be apprehended, this is also a deterrent.
- The wire mesh fence can be painted to suite a particular colour scheme to blend into the background more effectively than it already does.
- Welded mesh fencing is galvanised to prevent rust and requires little to no maintenance.

Farm Fencing
The fence you decide to put around your farm will be a huge investment so you want to make sure that you are in stalling quality and that you won't be spending money on maintenance shortly after the installation of your fence.
Why is a farm fence an investment?
- Purely for their size, farms need a considerable amount of fencing
- Installing inexpensive fencing will require constant maintenance
- Inadequate fencing can lead a farm to stock loss through theft and wandering off of stock
- By investing in quality fencing for your farm you will be in control of your farm, it's livestock and equipment
- Fencing a farm is a large job by any standard so you want it done properly with quality equipment
What kind of fence is best for the perimeter of a farm?
As a farmer you want a durable fence which will contain livestock within the perimeter of your farm. The fence should also keep out predators and deter stock theft.- Welded mesh fencing will meet those needs
- Welded mesh fencing is made from durable welded steel mesh which cannot easily be cut or climbed.
- Animals will be prevented from wandering
- Predators of small livestock such as chickens will be deterred by the fence.
- Welded mesh fence will allow you to see into all paddocks and areas where livestock are, enabling you to keep an eye on them.
What about installation and maintenance?
- The Fence is manufactured and delivered to you in segments along with the support poles.
- Installation is quick and can be speeded up by digging the holes for the support posts prior to delivery of the fencing materials
- Welded wire mesh fencing is not only beneficial on farms but is a great addition to the security of businesses, industrial properties and residences.
- Welded wire mesh fence can also be electrified for further security.
- Fencing is welded and can left plain or painted in a colour. On a large scale like a farm, plain might be the better option, unless you would like various areas demarcated and instantly recognisable.
