When to Choose Wire Fencing a Fencing Option

When choosing a fence many people tend to go for the traditional materials such as wood or metal, but by taking a look at some of the options it is possible to get a fence that is a highly secure and also gives a decorative element as well. One of the options often not considered is wire fencing, because many people believe it is attractive. However if it is done in the right way it can give a great level of security and also look good.

As far as security is concerned, you really cannot get better than wire fencing, because it can be installed much higher than most other types of fencing material. Having a wire fence that is 6 feet tall or above will deter most intruders, and you can almost guarantee that no one will try to scale a fence of that size. It is even possible to have a fence up to 10 feet high, though in most cases it is not needed.

The main consideration you need to make is whether you will use plastic wire or metal wire, since this will determine how strong the wire actually its. Plastic wire does have the advantage that it is very easy to maintain, since it will not rust, something that can be concerns with security since it can be easier to cut through. On the other hand, metal wire is highly secure, especially if you use a thick gauge wire, but you do have problems with rust and so this needs to be considered. However it is possible to use metal wire that has been coated with plastic which does give you the best of both worlds in some cases.

When it comes to the looks of a wire fence, it is possible to choose one which has a really good design and can take away from some of the imposing look. But one of the best ways to do this is to simply plant vegetation in front of the fence, or allow creepers such as ivy to populate the fence itself. In effect this will turn the fence into a wall of vegetation which would look absolutely in tune with the natural environment and yet give you an extremely high level of security.

By keeping these points in mind you will be able to see that a wire fence is not only an attractive high-security option, but can also fit in well with the natural environment if it is installed properly.…
