Running a warehouse, depot or plant means controlling access, protecting assets and keeping people safe. If you’re comparing options for industrial fencing Melbourne facilities rely on, you’re in the right place. We design, fabricate and install secure, compliant systems that hold up in tough conditions. From hazard zones to public interfaces, our end-to-end delivery keeps projects moving and risk low – and yes, we manage gates, automation and handover so your industrial fencing Melbourne project lands on time.
What makes an industrial fence “fit for purpose”?
A fence is only as strong as the design brief. We start with your risk profile, traffic patterns and regulatory context, then recommend a configuration that balances security, visibility and future maintenance. The result is secure by design – not overbuilt, not underdone.
Popular styles and where they shine
Chain mesh (chain link): Economical perimeter control for logistics yards and utilities; pairs well with barbed/razor line and outriggers where required.
Garrison / pressed-spear tubular steel: Rigid, climb-resistant pickets with a professional look – ideal for schools, councils and light industrial.
Palisade / blade: High-security profile with deterrent tops; suits substations, transport assets and critical infrastructure interfaces.
Welded mesh panels: Clean, modern appearance with strong anti-climb characteristics; great near public interfaces or where sightlines matter.
Acoustic or solid infill barriers: Where noise attenuation or visual screening is needed along busy corridors.
Key idea: choose the style for the threat, traffic and public exposure – not just the boundary line.

Quick compare
Style | Best for | Typical height | Key benefits |
Chain mesh | Large perimeters, utilities | 1800–2400 mm | Cost-effective, fast to install |
Garrison / pressed-spear | Light-to-medium security | 1800–2400 mm | Rigid, professional finish, climb resistance |
Palisade / blade | High-security interfaces | 2100–3000+ mm | Strong deterrence, configurable tops |
Welded mesh | Public-facing assets | 1800–2400 mm | Modern look, anti-climb, good visibility |
Materials and finishes that last in Melbourne conditions
Industrial sites cop wind, salt-laden air on corridors, forklift bumps and constant sun. We specify:
Hot-dip galvanised steel for core corrosion protection; powder-coat where colour and extra durability are required.
Marine-grade aluminium for some panel systems or gates where weight, corrosion resistance and lower upkeep matter.
Heavy-wall posts and footings matched to soil class and gate loads – the quiet heroes of a long-life fence.
Bottom line: a great coating on the wrong wall thickness still fails early. We balance material grade and finish for real-world longevity.
Choosing industrial fencing Melbourne teams trust
Our approach is practical and engineered. We fabricate pressed-spear, blade and welded-mesh systems in our Hallam workshop, and we source chain mesh, posts, caps and hardware from proven suppliers. Fabrication control means consistent welds, clean prep for coating and tighter tolerances on site – fewer surprises, faster installs.
Gates, automation and access control
Sliding, cantilever or swing gates sized for B-double access and pedestrian segregation.
Motors, safety edges and beacons integrated with your access control and site procedures.
Turnstiles and PA gates where controlled pedestrian flow is essential.

How we deliver – from assessment to handover
Site assessment & method plan – services locating, fall/slope checks, traffic interface, dig permits.
Detail design & set-out – posts, footing schedule, gate clearances, automation conduit paths.
Fabrication & coating – jigs for repeatability, QA checks, finish verification.
Installation – staged works to minimise downtime; clear line marking and barricading for safety.
Handover – as-built drawings, care instructions and maintenance schedule.
Safety first: our crews work under documented SWMS, isolations where needed and clear exclusion zones around plant.
Compliance without the headache
We align fence design and installation with relevant Australian Standards, industry guidelines and your site’s induction and permit controls. Where perimeter security interfaces with public land or utilities, we coordinate with stakeholders so approvals don’t stall your program.
Care and maintenance – small habits, long life
Industrial fences are low-touch, not no-touch. We set you up with a simple routine:
Quarterly walk-throughs: check fasteners, hinge pins, rollers, latches and any electrics; clear debris along the line.
After major weather: inspect tension wires, rails and gate tracks; re-tension or re-align as needed.
Wash-down of powder-coated surfaces in coastal or dusty zones to protect the finish.
Pro tip: fast intervention on a bent panel or loose post prevents progressive damage and keeps your perimeter uncompromised.
