Answer the buying questions early, so the fence quote starts from the right route.

Start with the market route and project use. Australia-style temporary fence is often the natural route for construction and rental-style deployment, Canada-style temporary fence is useful when the buyer prefers square-frame sourcing language, chain link / Heras-style works when a different mesh logic or anti-climb feel is needed, and crowd-control barrier fits guided pedestrian flow or event separation.

Yes. Accessories are part of a complete quote, not an afterthought. Buyers get a stronger quote when they state panel route, bases, clamps, stays or braces, gates, privacy screen, stillages, and packing expectations together.

Use this format: temporary fence route + application + panel size + quantity + finish + base / clamp / brace / gate scope + destination country + loading or packing request + delivery timing. That is much stronger than asking for price per panel only.

Yes. The current temporary-fence cluster is now built to branch into country-specific routes, application pages, accessories, and deeper buying guides. For a more focused answer set, buyers can open the dedicated Temporary Fence FAQ page.

Choose aluminum if the project is in a coastal or pool environment, or if lightweight handling is important. Choose steel if the project needs higher physical strength, a heavier visual perimeter, or a tighter budget for larger commercial quantities. Both can be powder coated in the same RAL colour range and have comparable lifespans when properly maintained.

No. Aluminum forms a natural oxide layer that protects the base metal from further corrosion. In pool and coastal environments, this natural protection is enhanced by the powder coat finish, making aluminum ornamental fence one of the most corrosion-resistant fence options available.

Standard gate types include pedestrian single-leaf gate (900–1200 mm wide), vehicle double-leaf gate (3000–4800 mm wide per leaf), cantilever or track sliding gate for driveways, and automation-compatible gate frames for motorisation. Hinges, latch, lock, and drop bolt are included as standard or specified at inquiry stage.

No MOQ for sample orders. Standard ornamental fence panel and gate orders typically have a 50–100 panel MOQ for production runs. Sample orders of 1–10 panels are available to validate finish quality and profile match before committing to a full order.

Panels are packed in bundles with cardboard interleaving to protect the powder coat finish. Posts are packed separately in bundles with protective wrapping. Gates are palletised with foam or cardboard corner protection. All components are labeled by SKU and packed to minimise damage risk in 20ft or 40ft containers.

Spear top (Garrison style): traditional ornamental, pointed spear caps bent outward at ~45°, high visual boundary, deters climbing. Best for: residential, school, commercial perimeter. Flat top: clean horizontal sightline, minimalist/modern look, no climbing grip. Best for: pool fence, deck, patio, sport facility. Loop top: picket tops formed into a closed loop/circle, softer appearance with some climbing deterrence. Best for: playground, childcare, park, residential. All three share the same structural system (vertical pickets on horizontal rails, mounted on posts).

D-section pale: one flat face, one convex curved face. Higher bending resistance. Recommended for high-security zones: military, prison, industrial perimeter. W-section pale: narrower W-profile with two flanges. Slightly less rigid than D-section but sleeker appearance. Recommended for commercial perimeter, retail, office compound. Both have 102 mm pale spacing (anti-climb). Pale head style (single/double/triple point, round-top) is a separate choice based on security level.

Hot-dip galvanized (HDG): inland/industrial, 15–25 year lifespan. Powder coated over HDG: decorative, 20–30 year lifespan. PVC coated over HDG: coastal/marine, 20–30+ year lifespan — PVC layer protects zinc from salt. Duplex (HDG + powder coat): highest protection, 30–50 year lifespan, recommended for Australian coastal, UK coastal, and Middle Eastern industrial projects. Quick guide: Australian coastal → PVC or Duplex. UK commercial → HDG + powder coat. Middle East industrial → Duplex.

Swing gate single leaf (up to 1500 mm wide, pedestrian entrance), swing gate double leaf (up to 6000 mm, vehicle/driveway entrance), sliding gate (up to 12 m, industrial/warehouse), cantilever sliding gate (no ground track, up to 9 m). Palisade gates use the same D or W section pale as the fence line. Gate hardware: hinges, latch, drop bolt, gate stop included. Self-closing hinges and locks available as optional add-ons.

Standard colour (black RAL 9005, green RAL 6005): no MOQ surcharge, 10-panel MOQ. Custom RAL colour: 50 panels per colour (100+ for specialty formulations). Custom non-standard height: 50 panels per height. Palisade D/W section standard: 20 panels. Custom pale head type: 50 panels. Repeat orders for the same custom spec typically have lower MOQ (20 panels) after initial setup.

Zinc steel fence refers to fence systems where steel components are zinc-coated — usually via hot-dip galvanizing or pre-galvanizing — before fabrication into panels and posts. The zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting steel at cut edges and weld points. Standard galvanized fence often means components are galvanized after welding, which can leave bare weld areas exposed. Zinc steel fence systems are designed so the zinc coating is applied at a stage that provides more complete coverage across the whole component before assembly.

Common export heights: 600–2400 mm (most requested: 900, 1200, 1500, 1800, 2100 mm). Panel widths: 2400 or 3000 mm standard; custom widths supported. Three main top styles: Flat-top (clean modern profile, good for commercial and modern residential), Spear-top (traditional ornamental with pointed pickets, dominant in UK/Australia/New Zealand markets), Decorative (curved, punched, or laser-cut tops for upscale projects; higher cost and longer lead time).

Four routes: (1) Hot-dip galvanized only — cost-effective, zinc grey, inland/mild-climate use. (2) Pre-galvanized + powder coat — clean colour finish, good for residential/commercial. (3) Hot-dip + powder coat (duplex) — best corrosion protection, recommended for coastal and high-humidity environments; zinc 275 g/m² + powder coat 60–120 µm. (4) PVC/PE coated — smooth surface, good for pool and garden applications. For coastal use: duplex coating is the recommended route. Avoid unpowder-coated hot-dip galvanized alone in salt-air environments.

A complete system quote should include: fence panels, posts (square, rectangular, or decorative profile), post caps, brackets and fixings (stainless steel recommended for coastal), rail clips or U-channels, pedestrian gates (900–1200 mm) and vehicle gates (single/double swing or sliding), and optional privacy slats. Specify the full accessory scope in the first RFQ to avoid panel-only quotes that leave gates, posts, and hardware to be added later at higher cost.

Standard MOQ is typically 50 panels per size/height. Custom heights, widths, rail counts, picket spacing, and mesh openings are supported. Custom sizes carry 15–25% higher unit cost and 2–4 additional production weeks. Custom RAL colours typically require 200+ panels per colour for powder coat runs. Provide drawings or sketches with dimensions in the first inquiry for an accurate custom quotation.

Yes. Sample panels (1–2 per size/finish) are available at production cost plus shipping. RAL colour cards and powder coat chip sets can be mailed separately for colour selection. The recommended approach for serious buyers is a combined sample and drawing pack: one panel, one post, bracket set, and full specification sheet for the target market — used to run internal qualification before a full container order.

"358" refers to the approximate mesh opening dimensions: roughly 3 inches × 0.5 inches (76.2 mm × 12.7 mm). The narrow horizontal opening prevents footholds and handholds — a person's fingers cannot grip the small opening. The "8" also references the approximate wire gauge category (about 8 gauge / 4.0 mm). The result is a fence panel providing both perimeter security and good visibility for CCTV and patrol monitoring, widely used for prisons, airports, military facilities, and critical infrastructure.

Three tiers: (1) Standard anti-climb — 4.0 mm wire, 76.2 × 12.7 mm mesh, hot-dip galvanized. Best for industrial yards, warehouses, and controlled-access perimeters. (2) Heavy-duty / anti-cut — 5.0–6.0 mm wire, same mesh opening. For utility substations, correctional facilities, and higher-threat sites. (3) Certified delay-rated — panels built to LPS 1175 or ASTM F2781-15, requiring third-party testing of the full panel + post + fixing + topping assembly. Confirm the threat model and any required rating before quotation.

Standard mesh opening: 76.2 × 12.7 mm. Custom anti-climb openings (e.g., 50 × 12.7 mm) can be produced for higher-security projects. Wire diameter ranges from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm; 4.0 mm is the standard export spec, with heavier options for higher-risk sites. Panel heights from 1.2 m to 3.0 m+ are available; widths of 2.0 m, 2.5 m, or 3.0 m affect post spacing and fixing cost. Custom sizes are supported for project-specific requirements.

Three routes: (1) Hot-dip galvanized only — zinc-grey functional finish, inland/industrial use, 70–275 g/m² zinc weight. Not recommended alone for coastal or high-humidity environments. (2) Pre-galvanized + powder coat — clean colour finish, any RAL colour, good for airport and commercial perimeters. (3) Duplex (hot-dip + powder coat) — best corrosion protection, recommended for coastal, high-salinity, and high-humidity environments. For any project within 5 km of a coastline, specify duplex with minimum 275 g/m² zinc and 80 µm powder coat.

Gates: single pedestrian (900–1200 mm) and double vehicle gates (single swing 3000–6000 mm; bi-fold; sliding) are produced to match the 358 panel wire diameter and mesh. Heavy-duty hinges, slam latches, drop bolts, and ground anchors are included. Toppings: V-arms (35° or 45°), barbed wire (single or double strand), razor coil/concertina tape, and electronic detection systems are coordinated with the post and panel system. For projects requiring certified delay ratings, topping and post systems must be included in the testing scope.

Available documentation: material test reports (mill certificates for wire and tube), coating thickness and adhesion reports, weld quality inspection records, and factory ISO 9001 documentation. If a delay-rating standard such as LPS 1175 or ASTM F2781 is required, the full fence system — panels + posts + fixings + toppings — must be tested as an assembly by a third-party lab. Third-party testing adds 8–16 weeks and significant cost; confirm whether it is required before quotation. Factory audit support and workshop photos are available for buyer qualification.
