Welded Mesh

Welded mesh fencing is a popular and versatile security and boundary solution in South Africa, known for its strength, durability, and a wide range of applications. It is made from steel wires that are welded together in a grid pattern to create rigid panels.

Key characteristics and uses of welded mesh fencing in South Africa include:

High Security: Welded mesh fencing is a strong barrier that is difficult to cut or climb, making it suitable for high-security applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. It is often combined with other security measures like razor wire to enhance its effectiveness.

Durability: To withstand South Africa’s diverse weather conditions, the fencing is typically made from galvanized steel, which is often further coated with PVC or powder-coated to prevent rust and corrosion. This ensures a long lifespan and low maintenance.

Versatility: It is used in various sectors, including agriculture for livestock control, mining, and construction as both a barrier and for concrete reinforcement. The panels can be customized in terms of wire thickness, aperture size (the size of the grid squares), and height to meet specific security and aesthetic requirements.

Aesthetics: Welded mesh fencing, particularly “clear view” fencing, is often chosen for its ability to provide security without obstructing views, offering an aesthetically pleasing alternative to solid walls.

Regulations: The quality and specifications of welded mesh fencing are often guided by South African National Standards (SANS). Local municipalities may also have specific regulations regarding fence height and materials, which installers need to comply with.

Independent Razor and Weldmesh, manufactures and supplies a wide range of welded mesh fencing rolls, in various different options.

This offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for various applications. Unlike rigid panels, which are ideal for high-security, permanent installations, the rolled format is highly versatile and often used for more temporary or general-purpose fencing needs.

This makes it popular for agricultural purposes, schools, clinics, construction sites, commercial and private properties

Versatility: The rolled format makes it easy to handle and transport, and it can be cut to length to fit specific perimeters.

Variety: These rolls come in a range of specifications:

Available heights: 1,2m, 1,8m, 2,0m, 2,4m.
Available apertures: 13×13, 13×25, 25×50, 50×50, 50×100 and 100×100 apertures.
Available wire thicknesses: 1,6mm, 2,0mm, 2,5mm and 3,15mm.

This allows users to select a product suited for their specific needs, whether it’s a fine mesh to keep out small animals, keep small creatures in or a heavier gauge for more robust security.

Durability: To protect against the elements and prevent rust, the wire is available in lightly and fully galvanized, we also offer PVC coating for certain line items, for extra protection and a different aesthetic.

Installation: Installing welded mesh from a roll is often a more manageable DIY project than panel fencing. It generally involves setting up posts, running straining or tension wires, and then attaching the mesh to the timber or steel poles and wires.

This process is quicker and requires less specialized equipment compared to installing rigid panels.
