There is a wide variety of different security fences available on the market that are designed to create a secure fence perimeter. The material of the security fence you choose can make all the difference depending on its application. A galvanised security fence, such as the Palisade and Maxiguard® high-security fencing from Gryffin, offers incredibly strong and durable structural performance.
So, what are the main benefits of installing a galvanised steel high-security fence?
Corrosion resistance
A high-security fence made from galvanised steel contains a protective layer of zinc. This additional zinc layer coating acts as a barrier, providing strong corrosion resistance against rust and other environmental threats. If rust does form, it will cause damage to the zinc layer before damaging the steel underneath. The more zinc the coating contains; the more resistance it will provide.
Lasts for longer
Depending on the type of installation, galvanised steel security fencing can last longer than most security fences because of its high corrosion resistance. It is ideal for outside applications due to its zinc coating creating a barrier.
When it rains, this barrier stops the water and oxygen in the air from reacting to the iron concentration in the steel, which will cause rust. This also contributes to lower maintenance fees over its lifespan, which is ideal for remote applications.
Tough and durable
A galvanised coating doesn’t just protect the security fence from corrosion but also from damage as well. This can include being scratched or chipped during transport, when being installed or throughout its lifespan.
With extra strength and durability, Gryffin’s Palisade and Maxiguard® protective security fencing has a duplex system of a zinc-rich galvanised finish underneath a powder coat top coat, providing two forms of protection.
A standard powder coating is applied which is suited to non-corrosive environments such as metropolitan areas. If you require a remote or coastal area installation however, they do offer harsh environment powder coat options that come with a warranty if requested.
The environmental factor
Steel is one of the most recycled and environmentally friendly materials in the world. Even galvanised and powder coated steel can be recycled after its product life cycle has ended. It is collected as scrap metal and sent to a resource recovery facility or a materials recycling facility. Once crushed, separated, melted and purified, the steel is then repurposed for construction material or new steel products.
