Welded Wire Panels: Who Uses Them and Demonstrations of Effectiveness

Perimeter fencing and crowd control barriers act as a physical and psychological restraint that creates a sense of order and propriety while acting as an actual solid dividing wall. In perimeter fencing, we either make use of the “more common” chain link fence or “more contemporary” welded wire panels. Welded wire panels are important for every operation, business enterprise and facility when temporary metal barriers are important in protecting crucial locations, events and functions while providing a level of safety and control. There are advantages to the use of welded wire panels over chain link fences. Here’s how.

Welded Wire Panels: Who Uses Them

Some consumers overlook the true value and utility of welded wire panels because they look so deceptively simple, light and convenient. Better security providers and smart customers purchase welded wire panels over chain link fences because they are aware of its benefits and features. Most of all, they value the level of control and security welded wire panels provide them for their operations, events and functions, businesses and facilities.

Temporary fence panels or welded wire panels are 7.5 feet in length by 6 feet in height. This provides a large area of security coverage per welded wire panel. Each security fence panel weighs 37 pounds which is adequate for handling, stability and convenient transfer and setup. Within each welded wire panel is a 2-inch by 4-inch welded wire mesh which provides for added security. The wire mesh has a finished polish and has no cut edges providing for easier transfer, setup and storage. This and the other parts of the whole welded wire panel are galvanized after welding and the inside diameter weld ensures that no edges get hung up while loading, unloading and handling. The excellent craftsmanship and diligent planning put into developing our welded wire panels makes it more durable, efficient and effective especially in the harshest environmental and public conditions.

Welded Wire Panels: Five Demonstrations of Effectiveness

To demonstrate the effectiveness of a welded wire panel, we compare its utility and value to that of the more commonly used barrier, the chain link fence.

First would be the color. Ever notice why our highways, bridges and posts are painted with an alternate yellow and black? This is to emphasize on the brightness of the color yellow. Welded wire panels come in the standard yellow and are attractive and highly visible as opposed to the standard silver of a chain link fence. People will immediately perceive and be aware of your barrier

Second would be setup. Remember the weight of each panel? Each welded wire panel can be set up by one able bodied person unlike in chain link fences where it often needs multiple persons for setup.

Third would be durability. Welded wire panels are constructed to withstand environmental and physical abuse unlike chain links that are more susceptible to distortions, warping and bending. You recall that each welded wire panel is galvanized after welding and the inside diameter weld ensures that no edges get hung up while loading, unloading and handling. Therefore, you expect a more durable and secure product.

Fourth would be applications. There are standard features, add-ons and special features that make welded wire panels stable on uneven surfaces, even on non-paved ground surfaces. Chain links are only noted for stability on flat surfaces like asphalt and concrete.

Lastly, consider storage. Welded wire panels allow for pallet storage. Pallets eliminate the need for bulky rolls of difficult-to-store chains. Pallets do away with the need to transport each panel individually; are designed for lifting on all four sides, enabling loading on flatbeds; and includes all the necessary bolts, panel clamps and bases. These make for maximized storage space and easy transferability on site.

When it comes to your perimeter fencing needs, we do hope you think and act smart and choose welded wire panels for their demonstrations of effectiveness.
