Building a graffiti proof fence

Benefits Of Tubular Fences

Once you've committed to a new fence for your home, you need to whittle down your favoured materials to just one. To help you do this, consider the following benefits of tubular fencing.

Graceful

Tubular metal fences add grace to the landscape. Though they form a tough barrier, the railings are visually elegant. If you have a beautiful garden with lush foliage and flowers, tubular banisters won't ruin the view, as they're constructed of many fine rails that you can see through. Though they're vertical and straight, they mimic the width of natural elements such as branches of small trees or bushes. Ornate metalwork scrolls and curves merge the fence even more with the natural landscape. Heavy barriers, such as brick or wood, don't have the same elegance and affinity with the garden.

Provides Security

Around your front yard, these fences deter intruders. You can select from different heights, and even a tall structure won't loom over the yard because of its see-through construction. To deter climbing, install a model with pointy spearhead figurines along the top. Tubular barriers typically use both aluminium and steel, which are both strong, but steel generally is more robust if high security is your primary concern.

Durable

Fencing is exposed to all conditions, including wild hail storms and blazing sun, and thus needs inbuilt resilience to withstand these factors. Aluminium and steel can both manage harsh conditions. If you live near the beach, however, consider choosing aluminium, which naturally resists the corrosion caused by the salty air. Steel typically has a galvanising zinc layer that creates a shielding barrier to inhibit rust. Powder-coating processes bake on an additional coat of protective polyester paint. Both kinds of metal will last for many years in the garden.

Design Options

Tubular fencing comes in a vast array of colours and designs that match many aesthetics. Choose an ornate style that adds to the grandeur of a large traditional home. These railings also suit cottages, adding to a whimsical front garden full of overflowing ferns and plants. If you have a modern home, you could install a simple flat-top design that still evokes a timeless feel despite its straightforward composition. Colour options include black, green and cream that all evoke different looks and effects. Black, in particular, can form a smart contrast, cream complements a modern but timeless pool area and green blends with foliage. You could add to your fence's decorative appeal with a matching statement walk-through gate for an extra wow factor.
