Choosing security fencing Melbourne sites actually need

Start with risk: asset value, hours of operation, neighbouring activity, and whether you need privacy vs. surveillance visibility. Then match a style and spec:

Style	Typical height	Best for	Key advantage
Pressed spear tubular	1800–2400 mm	Warehouses, yards	Anti-climb, pointed tops discourage access.
Blade / palisade look	1500–1800 mm	Schools, frontages	Strong, architectural profile without easy footholds.
Aluminium slat	1200–2100 mm	Homes, mixed-use	Modern privacy—limits street views into your property.
Flat/rod/spear top tubular	1200–1800 mm	General security	Economical, versatile everyday security.

Tip: Heavy-duty pressed spear panels are our go-to for industrial perimeters where climb resistance matters most. The pressed and pointed tops help prevent unauthorised access when paired with the right gate and latch set.

Materials and finishes that last

• Steel tubular: robust and cost-effective for high-traffic sites.

• Aluminium: lighter, corrosion-resistant—ideal for coastal suburbs and contemporary builds; slats deliver privacy with a clean look.

• Finishes: hot-dip galvanising for maximum durability, plus powder-coat in site-friendly colours.

• Hardware: commercial hinges, lockable latches, closers and automation-ready posts.

Why it matters: the right material/finish pairing cuts maintenance and keeps your fence compliant and looking sharp longer.

Gates and access control

Security fails at the gate if hardware is an afterthought. We fabricate swing and sliding gates to suit your opening, load and traffic pattern, with options for automation, safety beams and keypad/FOB access. Because we also build gates and custom metalwork in-house, your leafs, posts and latching points are engineered as a single system - not stitched together on site.

Design and compliance, handled

We align designs with relevant Australian Standards and council guidelines, and think like builders: footing sizes, post centres, wind exposure, trenching around services, and sightlines at driveways for pedestrian safety. Our process is precise and engineered—it’s the difference our clients come to us for.

Installation steps we follow 

1. On-site measure & risk walk-through – identify weak points, CCTV angles, vehicle access.

2. Shop drawings – post layout, heights, gates, hardware, finishes.

3. Fabrication – cut, weld, prep and coat in our Hallam workshop for tight tolerances.

4. Foundations & set-out – correct concrete embedment, plumb and alignment checks.

5. Fit-off – panels, gates, closers/locks, final torque check and handover photos.

Result: a fence that looks right, works hard, and holds alignment over time.

Care and upkeep checklist

• Quarterly rinse to remove dust and contaminants, especially near main roads or the coast.

• Hardware check – tighten fixings, lubricate hinges/closers, test locks.

• Finish touch-ups – address chips early to prevent corrosion and extend coating life.

Where we make the biggest impact

• Industrial and logistics yards – pressed spear tubular with secure sliding gates.

• Education and community – blade profiles for strength with a neat architectural line.

• Residential and mixed-use – aluminium slats for privacy and a modern frontage.

Bottom line: you’re not buying panels—you’re investing in reliable access control, deterrence and durability. That’s why we fabricate and install fences, gates and custom metalwork under one roof and stand behind the work long-term.
