Material options, fence height and panel dimensions, mesh opening, post and rail specifications, hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating, and an OEM specification decision tree for perimeter, highway, sports and temporary fencing applications.
For metal fencing, the two decisions that drive service life are the base material and the surface treatment. A fence exposed to coastal salt, industrial pollutants or constant hand-contact needs a different specification than an inland boundary fence.
We work across four base materials. Galvanized steel and carbon steel are the cost-effective default for most perimeter and highway projects. Stainless steel is specified where corrosion resistance is critical; aluminum alloy where weight and natural corrosion resistance matter (e.g. coastal or portable systems). Every material is then finished with hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating or electrostatic spraying depending on the environment.
Because we are an OEM manufacturer, fence height, panel dimensions, mesh opening, post structure and pattern are all driven by your drawing or project requirement — there is no single "standard" fence, only the right specification for the site. See the custom metal fencing product page for our supply envelope, MOQ and lead times.
Fence form follows function. The four most frequent project types each optimize for a different priority — security, traffic safety, visibility or rapid deployment.
A galvanized steel substrate with a duplex (zinc + polymer) coating, combining corrosion protection with a clean colored finish for commercial and residential perimeters.
A continuous screen mounted on the central reserve of roads to block oncoming headlight glare, typically perforated or mesh panels on a steel post line.
Galvanized and powder-coated mesh fence around stadiums, courts and training grounds, engineered for ball impact and spectator separation.
Quick-deploy galvanized panels with coupling clamps and stabilizers for construction sites and events, designed for repeated install and removal.
| Type | Priority | Typical height | Primary application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zinc steel | Aesthetics + durability | 1.2 – 2.4 m | Commercial / residential perimeter |
| Highway anti-glare | Traffic safety | 0.6 – 1.0 m | Road median |
| Sports field | Impact + visibility | 3.0 – 6.0 m | Stadiums, courts |
| Temporary | Rapid deployment | 1.8 – 2.1 m | Construction, events |
Typical ranges for our custom fencing production. Exact dimensions are set by your drawing or site layout — all parameters below can be customized.
| Parameter | Standard range / options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fence height | 0.6 – 3.0 m | Up to 6.0 m for sports / pro venues |
| Panel width | 2.0 – 3.0 m | Matched to post spacing |
| Mesh opening | 50×50 – 200×200 mm | Smaller = higher security / privacy |
| Wire / tube diameter | 3.0 – 6.0 mm (mesh); 25–60 mm (post) | Post size scales with height |
| Post size | □40×40 – □60×60 mm | Thicker wall for taller fences |
| Rail | 25×25 – 40×40 mm | Top/bottom rails per design |
| Surface treatment | Hot-Dip Galvanized / Powder / Electrostatic | HDG to EN ISO 1461 for outdoor |
| Applications | Perimeter, highway, sports, farm, temporary | OEM per project requirement |
Mesh opening and wire diameter together set both visibility and security level. For perimeter security, 50×50 mm or 75×75 mm welded mesh with 4–5 mm wire is common; for highway anti-glare, a perforated or finer panel is used to block light rather than climb.
Both protect steel outdoors, but they solve different problems. Many projects use them together as a duplex system for maximum life.
| Treatment | Corrosion protection | Color options | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot-Dip Galvanizing | Very high (zinc barrier) | Metallic grey only | Structural, coastal, industrial |
| Powder Coating | Medium–high (over primer/HDG) | Full RAL range | Architectural, branded, visible fences |
| Electrostatic Spraying | Medium | Full RAL range | Indoor / light outdoor, cost-sensitive |
Use this decision tree to turn a site requirement into a manufacturable specification.
Factory perimeter / security → Zinc steel or welded mesh. Road median → Highway anti-glare screen. Stadium / court → Sports fence (tall, impact-rated). Construction → Temporary fence. Farm / livestock → Galvanized field fence.
Inland, cost-sensitive → Carbon / galvanized steel. Corrosive or coastal → Stainless or aluminum. Visible architectural → Zinc steel with color coat. Match the material to the service environment first.
Outdoor structural → Hot-dip galvanizing (EN ISO 1461). Colored / branded → Powder coating, ideally over HDG (duplex). Indoor / light → Electrostatic spraying.
Provide fence height, panel width, mesh opening, post and rail sizes, gate requirements and site layout. We return shop drawings, a quotation and export packing plan.
Zhaobang Metal manufactures and inspects to the following internationally recognized standards. Links open the issuing organization's official page.
We manufacture customized metal fencing including zinc steel fences, road separation fences, highway anti-glare fences, sports field fences, temporary fences and other systems based on project requirements. Fence type, panel form and post structure are selected per application.
Yes. We support OEM and custom manufacturing based on customer drawings, dimensions, specifications, reference photos or project requirements. Fence height, panel dimensions, mesh openings, post structure and patterns can all be customized.
Common materials include galvanized steel, carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Surface treatment options include hot-dip galvanizing (EN ISO 1461), powder coating and electrostatic spraying — combinations chosen by the outdoor environment and required service life.
Standard fence height ranges from 0.6 m to 3.0 m, with panel widths typically 2.0–3.0 m and mesh openings from 50×50 mm to 200×200 mm. Both height and panel dimensions are customizable; send your site layout and we will size the posts and rails accordingly.
Products are inspected and securely packed according to structure, quantity and shipping requirements. We optimize packing for container loading and provide export documentation for international material shipments.
No. We specialize in manufacturing and global material export. Fencing products are supplied as materials for local contractors or project teams to install. We do not provide overseas on-site construction or installation services.
