What Is Tubular Fencing?
Tubular fencing is made from vertical metal rods, typically steel or aluminium, joined together in a simple yet elegant pattern. It’s widely used for:
- Pool fencing
- Garden and yard fencing
- Security fencing
- Commercial or industrial boundaries
These fences are known for being corrosion-resistant, durable, and surprisingly affordable—making them a go-to choice for homeowners and business owners alike.
Customisation & Style Options
You’re not stuck with a standard look—tubular fences are highly customizable. Choose from top designs like:
- Flat tops
- Spear tops
- Ring or loop tops
Want a touch of flair? You can also add decorative elements like:
- Twisted tubes
- Metal leaves or roses
- Ornaments like spheres or hemispheres
Your fence doesn’t just secure—it adds curb appeal.
Why Choose Tubular Fencing? (Top Benefits)
1. Long-Term Durability
Thanks to galvanising and powder coating, tubular fences can withstand harsh weather and still look great for decades. Minimal upkeep, maximum lifespan.
2. Versatility
From backyard fences to pool enclosures or commercial zones, this fencing style adapts to almost any environment. It’s even suitable around hazardous areas like factories or construction zones.
3. Enhanced Security
Tubular fencing adds a physical barrier without blocking visibility—perfect for security-conscious spaces. Pair it with manual or automatic gates for even more control.
4. Easy to Match With Gates
You can install matching gates in the same tubular style—or choose something unique for contrast. Gates can be motorised, manual, sliding, or swinging.
How to Maintain Tubular Fencing (Simple Steps)
1. Regular Cleaning
Even with powder coating, dirt and salt can accumulate—especially near the coast. Gently wash the fence with:
- A wet sponge or soft cloth
- Mild household detergent
- Avoid harsh chemicals or anything with petroleum
Finish with a rinse of warm water. Dry with a cloth for a polished look.
2. Annual or Bi-Annual Inspection
Check for any signs of damage or rust at least once or twice a year. Catching small issues early can prevent costly repairs later.
3. Safety First
Wear gloves when cleaning and keep your workspace clear of hazards like tools, wires, or unstable ladders.
Common Applications of Tubular Fencing
- Residential: Garden boundaries, front yards, pool safety
- Commercial: Car parks, storefront security, business perimeters
- Industrial: Machinery zones, restricted areas
- Public spaces: Sports grounds, playgrounds, council areas
