Security Fencing - Why choose Secure4Life?

Security fencing has become more popular in South Africa, amongst homeowners as well as industrial applications. Selecting a security fence from the right type of steel makes a big difference to the amount of maintenance required, to keep the fence free of rust and to keep it looking aesthetically pleasing. Lets face facts - rust streaks running down a garden wall won't inspire the homeowner that the security protection will be around for long.

Painted mild steel may soon develop underfilm creep - tell tale signs of the coating being lifted a way by hidden corrosion. Sharp edges are rapidly corroded away - sharp edges are required on security fencing to ward the intruders off.

Galvanised steel left unpainted may not fit in with the environment. Wherever modifications are made after the galvanising has been done, will become initiation points for corrosion to commence. With time the galvanised coating will corrode away. It is purely a surface treatment that will eventually disappear and leave the base metal exposed to the elements and start corroding. The time that this takes will depend on the thickness of galvanised coating that has been applied.

Painted Galvanised steel tends to flake, as so often we have seen the paint coating not adhere sufficiently to the galvanised coating. With time, the paint peels away and the fencing needs re coating - a costly exercise,
