The Global Leader in Field Fence & Posts
Please tell us
Expanded metal fence (or expanded steel fence), a high-security and anti-corrosion fence, is made of aluminum, low carbon steel or stainless steel. Its diamond-shaped openings make expanded metal a versatile product for applications such as commercial, industrial, governmental or institutional sites and where the possibility of malevolent incursion.
Types
For improving the high strength, anti-climb and anti-thieves properties and retrofits of ornamental pickets and previous expanded metal fence, it can be designed into following four types:
Expanded metal fence is installed with rails including top, bottom, and intermediate rails for adding strength and security of expanded metal mesh panels. Top rail should be installed with 8 in. below the top of the expanded metal mesh panel and the bottom rail should be installed with 8 in. above the bottom of the mesh panel. Construction of an expanded metal fence greater than 10 ft in height requires an intermediate rail.
When two panels are stacked to reach a required height, the upper panel shall overlap the lower panel and be secured to a rail.
In addition to our standard fence, we can design different types according to your use, such as expanded mesh fence with barbed wire, razor wire or bending top.
