Advantages of Wire Fencing
Having wire fencing, otherwise called woven wire fencing has its advantages. Firstly, wire fencing is fairly cheap compared to other materials like brick, glass and PVC. Secondly, the installation of a wire fence does not take long hours as woven wire can be bought directly from DIY stores or ordered by your contracted fencing company from their supplier. All that’s left to do most of the time is to attach the woven wire to posts as well as create a sort of frame for it. The third advantage of wire fencing is that it is a highly durable material which is less prone to rotting and insect infestation unlike timber or wood. Wire fencing can also be customized in terms of color and can be powder coated to have cream, green, black, silver, white, red and other colors. Finally, wire fencing is not as restrictive a fence as brick is. It allows you to see through the other side without difficulty but still provides a clear boundary between your property and other’s property.
Disadvantages of Wire Fencing
Although wire fencing has its advantages, it also has potential disadvantages. The most commonly encountered problem in wire fencing is the accumulation of rust in the posts and even on the woven wire itself. This usually occurs if the installation is not properly done or if the fencing company does not apply pre-coating to the steel posts. Another problem you might encounter is that this type of fencing does not block sound or noise.
