Steel Fencing

Known for its sleek appearance and hardwearing nature, steel fencing in Mornington is the ideal addition for almost any home, from more traditional to modern. With a wide range of options to choose from, it's easy to find a style that complements your home.

 

Benefits of Steel Fencing

  • High Durability
    One of the main advantages of steel is its durability – it's an incredibly strong and sturdy material capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions (such as heavy rain, high winds, and intense heat). It doesn’t rot, warp, or crack over time, meaning that it will remain in excellent condition for years to come.
  • Security & Safety
    Steel offers a remarkable tensile strength and resistance to bending and impact, which make it an ideal choice when security and safety are a concern. It provides a formidable barrier against intruders, puts up an incredible fight at being cut through, and is difficult to climb (depending on the style you’ve chosen).
  • Low Maintenance
    Unlike other materials that require frequent cleaning and treating to keep them in tiptop condition, steel fencing is virtually maintenance free. All it needs is the occasional wash with the garden hose or power washer to remove dirt and debris. New fences are even coated with a protective layer to prevent rust and corrosion.
  • Aesthetic Appeal
    If you’re looking for ways to elevate the curb appeal of your property, look no further than steel fencing. With a range of designs and finishes to choose from, it will be easy to match the look and feel of your home. This type of fence is also the perfect way to increase the value of your home
  • Eco-Friendly
    Thanks to steel’s metallurgic properties, it doesn’t degrade over time, which means it can be melted down and reused over and over again. Plus, recycling is easy! Not only does this mean less waste is ending up in landfill, it helps to protect the earth’s natural resources from being overmined.

Types of Steel Fencing

  • Wrought Iron Fencing
    A perfect addition for more historic or traditional homes, wrought iron is strong and durable with a highly attractive look. These fences can be customised with various designs (such as swirls, spears, and other symbols) to match your desired look and feel. You can also opt for pickets, ornamental railings, and lattice tops if you desire
  • Tubular Steel Fencing
    A popular choice across residential, commercial, and even industrial properties, tubular steel fencing provides complete stylistic control – the tubes can be customised to suit your every need, from colour to width apart. Their resistance to corrosion has made them a popular choice for swimming pools and spas
  • Colorbond Steel Fencing
    A well-loved choice Australia wide, Colorbond fencing has been designed to withstand our harsh weather conditions, from rainy Tasmania to the scorching Northern Territory. Synonymous with quality, fence panels are available in 14 designer colours and can even be matched to your roofing if desired
  • Chain Link Steel Fencing
    A great option for both commercial and residential properties, chain link fences are strong and cost-effective. While they provide minimal privacy due to the way the chains are linked together, they do require minimal upkeep and are resistant to rot and rust. They’re commonly used to secure basketball courts, industrial parks, and parking lots.
  • Security Fencing
    Keeping your commercial or even residential property secure against intrusion is made easier with steel security fencing. From protecting your kids to avoiding vandalism, there are many reasons why security might be important besides theft. We supply a range of options that are suitable for security purposes, from chain mesh to razor wire

Steel Fence Maintenance Tips

While one of the main reasons for the popularity of steel fencing is its low maintenance requirements, you should not be fooled into thinking that it doesn’t require any maintenance at all. You should regularly clean your fence using either the garden hose or a pressure washer to remove dirt and debris that has collected. At the same time, you should inspect for signs of any damage and have this dealt with quickly. It’s also recommended that you keep nearby plants and trees trimmed back so that they don’t interfere with the fence’s operation.

Environmental Impact of Steel Fencing

While producing steel consumes more energy and emits more greenhouse gas emissions than other materials, once it has been produced it can be recycled over and over again. This makes it quite the sustainable choice, contributing to the conservation of the earth’s natural resources. It also offers a reduced carbon footprint thanks to its lower energy consumption (when it comes to recycling) and its minimal maintenance requirements. It also aids in water conservation by requiring less cleaning over its lifetime.

 
FAQ

How long does a steel fence last?

One of the best things about steel fencing is that it has an incredibly long life expectancy, even with only minimal maintenance put in. Colorbond panels, for example, can last for as long as 20 to 25 years or even longer.

What type of steel is best for fencing?

Carbon steel is the most widely used type thanks to its high strength and low cost. Alloy steel is also popular, as it’s been combined with other elements (such as manganese or chromium) to provide the metal with other properties.

Is steel fencing suitable for residential properties?

Yes, there isn’t any reason why steel fencing should not be used for residential properties. In fact, Colourbond, tubular, and wrought iron are all highly popular options for use around the home, either as boundary or pool fencing.

Can steel fencing be painted or customised?

Yes, painting a steel fence is a great way to provide it with some added protection against corrosion and to add some of your own personality. Other customisation options include decals, painted designs, lattice, and laser cutting.

How secure is a steel fence compared to other materials?

If security is your top concern, steel fencing tends to be a far superior choice to other materials. This is because it’s incredibly strong and durable, meaning it will withstand physical impacts and deter intruders with ease.

Does steel fencing require a permit for installation?

Yes, a building permit is required for most fences in Australia, although there are exemptions based on height on location (such as a chain link fence around your tennis court). Contact your local council or fence builder for more information specific to your circumstances.

How do I clean and maintain a steel fence?

The best way to clean a stainless steel fence is using a mild solution of soap (such as a non-abrasive kitchen detergent) and warm water. Use a sponge, soft cloth, or soft bristle brush to gently scrub at any patches of dirt and debris.

What colours is steel fencing available in?

This will depend on the type of fencing you’ve chosen. Colorbond is available in 14 designer colours, but keep in mind that these may be updated or discontinued. Other types can be powdercoated in a colour of your choice to complement your property.
