Security fencing plays an important role in protecting your property not only from the intruders but also from the animals, going through this benefit they are installed at different places including personal properties, offices, gardens, schools, colleges, gardens, parks, and every place that is visited by the masses daily. This has resulted in the emergence of different types of fencing in the market that it sometimes becomes difficult for a person to stick on which fencing for installing on his property. Taking this problem in concern, today we are discussing the difference between commonly used fencing namely palisade fencing and mesh fencing.

What is Mesh Fencing?

The history of using mesh fencing for security purposes dates back to the early 1990s. It is developed from steel wires that are welded together merging inside each other, thus developing the robust structure for protecting your property. The most notable feature of this fencing type is that it is easy to install and do not requires any specific maintenance, due to which it is mainly used at the places like airports, offices, data centers, schools, colleges, banks, shopping malls, apartments, and also in the houses with small lawns. It is available in two variants rolled and rigid. An interesting benefit of its installation is that it does not restrict the interior view of your property. Moving ahead it is available in different types, shapes, and styles.

What is Palisade Fencing?

This can be defined as one of the old types of fencing that has been in practice for more than 100 years and still being preferred by most people. It is mainly developed from iron or wooden pieces that are merged vertically without leaving any space between them. They have pointed top that helps in restricting the entrance of intruders and animals inside the property. Compared to mesh fencing they are cheaper due to the material used for developing them, which can be also considered as its drawback. Because it is easy to break or damage within the span of a few minutes. Moving ahead, they also restrict the interior view of the property, and therefore mainly installed at the places that are not much important from the safety point of view.

Benefits of Mesh Fencing:

The benefits of this fencing can be summarized as follows:

1. Available in different types: They are available in three different types namely profiled, double wire, and 358 mesh.

2. Contemporary: Compared to different types of security fencing available in the market, they are contemporary and do enhance the exterior aesthetics of the place wherever they are installed.

3. Clear view: Although they are installed outside your property, they do not restrict their interior or exterior view, which means a person inside the boundary wall can enjoy the outside view without any problem and vice-versa.

4. Wide color options: They are available in different types of color options.

5. Minimum Maintenance: Due to the use of robust steel, it is hard to break or damage them, thus it does not require any specific maintenance. Moving ahead, they are weather-resistant and do not get rust or damage because of environmental conditions.

Benefits of Palisade Fencing:

The benefits of palisade fencing can be summarized as follows:

1. Developed from wood and iron: Compared to mesh fencing, it is developed either from iron or wood, divided into different panels which are attached tightly to each other without leaving any space between panels.

2. Restricts the view: Whether the panels are made from iron or wood, they restrict the exterior and interior view accordingly.

3. Variety of colors: Similar to mesh fencing palisade fencing is also available in the wide range of color options thus boost the exterior looks of your place.

Conclusion: Based on the above description it can be said that both types of fencing have their benefits and therefore depending upon their requirement and the funds available with them people get them installed on their properties.
