Howdy! If you are planning to build a fence on your property, you will want to make sure you make the right choice. A good fence will last for many years and will help to protect your property from intruders and wild animals. It will also help to keep pets and kids inside the garden where they belong! I'm Tony and this is my fence blog. Last year, I spend a couple of months working alongside a fence contractor as he installed a wooden fence on my property. I learnt a lot of neat stuff which I would like to share with the rest of the world.
If you're researching fence materials to protect your home, you're probably looking for something that is both stylish and functional. Here are some benefits of colorbond fencing.
Is Attractive And Adaptable
With its crisp, clean lines and modular setup, colorbond fencing can complement diverse environments and home styles. It comes in a range of panel styles and profiles, with optional extras of post caps and lattice sections. The various bush-inspired colours add to the flexibility of the system. You can choose one shade for the panels and another for the posts and rails, possibly contrasting basalt blue panels with creamy-coloured posts and rails, for instance. The range of profiles is both modern and traditional to suit different aesthetics. Plus, it would be particularly easy to match the fencing with a steel roof, gutters or a garage door, creating a cohesive look for your home's exterior.
All the modular components simply fit together. The panels connect with the posts and a top rail locks them in. Other elements include options such as gate hinges and latches. Because of its modular design, this material is often easier to install than many others, which can reduce construction costs.
Provides The Privacy You Want
Providing a safe and secure home environment, the fencing comes in different styles that let you create the level of privacy you want. It is available in opaque sheets that provide a total screen from roadways and neighbours or in a slat style that protects your property and offers some seclusion without blocking the view entirely.
Is Durable And Long Lasting
Colorbond fencing consists of robust steel, which has a layer of aluminium and zinc mixed with other elements that protect it from rust. Steel is notoriously tough, and it can withstand harsh weather, including fire as well as the elements, for many years. These barriers also have a baked-on polyester colour, so you won't need to waste time with periodic repainting. Additionally, steel doesn't rot or become termite-infested as timber can, so it won't need chemical treatments. All it requires is an occasional wash down to maintain its smooth finish.
Is Recyclable
Steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world, so you will not be consuming too much of the earth's limited resources by installing a fence. Plus, many decades from now, it will most likely undergo melting and repurposing rather than ending up in a landfill.
