Industrial fences: an overview of various options

Industrial fencing, as a rule, are strong and high hedges. Their main purpose is to prevent the intruders from entering the territory, so very often barbed wire is stretched over such fences.

Such fences are most often used for factories and plants, places where construction work is carried out. And this includes any kind of other industrial facilities.

Industrial mesh fencing - one of the most popular these days.

Modern industrial fencing

At the moment there are two main types of fences:

• Decorative, which are intended mainly for the delimitation of private property. For the most part, such constructions do not represent any physical obstacles for the attacker and are used to a greater extent to protect the territory from the winds and to determine the boundaries of the territory. Naturally, not the last is the aesthetic aspect.
• Industrial Fencing. Most often among such constructions there are blind concrete fences and high mesh fences.

As a rule, such fences are much higher and more massive than decorative ones, and the aesthetic aspect is not taken into account in their construction.

They can be divided into three types:

1. Concrete.
2. Mesh.
3. Plastic.

Let us dwell on the features of each species.

Types of industrial fencing

Self Concrete Fence

Unlike their decorative counterparts, such designs can not boast of sophisticated forms. These are rough and massive fences that do not need care, are easy to install and very reliable. Due to these characteristics, they are often used as fencing factories, construction sites, etc.

Features of self-standing concrete structures:

1. The main advantage over other industrial fences is that such a fence is a solid section, protecting your territory not only from uninvited guests, but also from prying eyes.
2. Massiveness. Each element weighs about 2 tons, creating a truly reliable protection of the territory.

1. Ease of installation, because such barriers do not require laying the foundation, and keep verticality under the influence of its own weight (hence the name). During the installation of such fences a minimum of elements is used. However, due to the significant weight of each slab, you will not be able to install such a fence with your own hands, for this you will definitely need a crane and the services of a professional construction team.
2. Such structures cannot be installed on uneven ground.

There are two types of such structures:

• No additional elements required during installation. In this case, each plate is slightly extended at the base, thereby being held in a vertical position.
• Mounted on the glasses. A glass is a special base on which a fencing section is placed. However, the installation instructions for such fences are very simple:
  1. Mark the area based on the width of the section.
  2. Next, with the help of a crane should install glasses in the marked places.

Tip! Glasses raise the base of the fence above the ground, so these structures can be installed on a relatively uneven base.

Mesh fences

Mesh enclosing structures of industrial buildings are distinguished by a relatively low price, due to which they are very popular.

Advantages of mesh fences:

• Easy installation. The construction of such fences can be done on their own.
• The ease of construction, so that it is enough to concrete the pillars in the pits, without laying down the strip foundation.
• Durability and durability. Currently galvanized mesh, which is not susceptible to corrosion and does not require painting. Also a good option is a polymer coating, which significantly increases the service life of such fences.

Tip! Cloth for such fences, it is desirable to use a welded mesh. All wire crossings in this case are reliably welded by means of spot welding, which makes it possible to obtain a much more reliable web than when usually using a chain-link mesh.

Canvas welded mesh.

• A small drawback can be considered the so-called "transparency" of the canvas.

The grid intended for the construction of fences can be of the following types:

1. Rabitz. The cheapest and easiest option sold in rolls. Fences created on its basis, for the most part used for garden plots.
2. Sectional. Such designs are a frame with mesh cloth welded to it. The standard dimensions of the fence section are: 1.5 by 2.5 meters, but for the protection of production facilities special nets are produced, the height of which reaches 2 or more meters.

Plastic fencing

These light fences are used for non-durable work: restoration of buildings, archaeological excavations, etc. In most cases we are talking about plastic mesh. Such constructions are very easy to install and dismantle and are used only for zoning the territory along with protective posts.

Conclusion

The use of a fence depends on the nature of the work. Naturally, no one will fence the plant with a plastic grid throughput system, exactly as the restoration work in the Khrushchev will not be carried out behind a concrete fence. Watch the video in this article for more information on this issue.
