8 Benefits of Investing in Powder Coated Fences For Your Property

Powder-coated fence production, as the name suggests, involves treating steel fencing by applying a powder coat using electrostatic charge for increased protection and durability. In contrast to conventional liquid paint applications, powder coating using polymer resins and other durable materials effectively provide a stronger and incredibly versatile finished product. In fact, powder coating methods can be used for a variety of popular fence types, including steel, aluminium and iron fencing.

Powder coated fencing has innumerable benefits. In essence, these boil down to the fact that they help keep fence panels presentable and in good working order for a longer time, thus reducing the need for constant repair and replacement.

Benefits of Powder Coated Fencing For Your Fencing Property

Here, we’ll go through some key benefits of powder coated fencing to help you make a more informed decision about your fencing choices.

3. Superior Impact Absorption Capabilities
4. Lower Maintenance Than Other Fencing Options
5. Manufactured To Australian Standards
6. Available In A Wide Range Of Colours
7. An Environmentally-Friendly Fencing Option
8. Powder Coated Fences Are Cost-Effective

1. Rustproof And Corrosion-Resistant

Typically, one of the drawbacks of metal fencing is that certain metals like untreated iron can be prone to rust and corrosion over time. This is due to a process known as oxidation, in which the oxygen in the air and the iron atoms in your metal fence react to form rust. This is an especially prevalent problem in places with high moisture levels.

Coated metal fencing options like our galvanised steel security fences and powder-coated fences eliminate the problem of rust and corrosion. They do this by creating a protective barrier against moisture – in the case of galvanised steel, this layer is zinc, while it’s powder in powder coated fencing, to eliminate the risk of oxidation.

2. Improved Heat Resistance

Another traditional drawback of metal fences is that they sometimes experience issues like warping and structural weakening in extreme heat, and if you live in Australia, you’ll know all about extreme heat. This is because metals are good conductors of heat, meaning they trap and store it, often to the detriment of the material itself.

One of the main benefits of powder-coated fences is that they mitigate this risk. The layer of powder acts as a barrier between your fence and the sun, which keeps the temperature down. This makes them one of the most suitable fencing styles for hot weather.

At Outback Fencing, we’ve tailored our product offering to the Australian market, which means that we’ve taken our sweltering summers into account. Whether you live in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast, our powder-coated fences are perfectly designed to survive the heat.

3. Superior Impact Absorption Capabilities

One of the primary benefits of powder coated fencing is that it improves the shock absorption capabilities of metal fences. While this may not be an issue we think about when choosing fences, you’d be surprised at how much of a beating fences take over time. This can be the accidental outcome of having children, pets or garden equipment. Unfortunately, robbers and vandals might also intentionally try to damage your fences.

As a whole, metal-based options like our steel or aluminium fencing are much more durable than timber. Adding a layer of powder coating enhances this effect even further and ensures that your fences last as long as possible, even amidst the physical hits they’ll face over time. Generally, powder-coating also gives your fences more protection against scratching and cracking than other liquid-based coatings. So alongside being able to absorb blows, your powder coated fencing will also likely be able to withstand bumps and collisions without chipping its paint job either. That’s yet another benefit of having paint coats applied via electrostatic charge rather than as a liquid layer.

4. Lower Maintenance Than Other Fencing Options

Powder coated fencing has the benefit of requiring less maintenance than other fence materials like timber, making it perfect if you’re in the market for a no-fuss fence. As mentioned above, the layer of powder we coat your metal fences with protects them from dangers like physical impacts, heat damage and corrosion.

The fact that powder coated fencing experiences less wear and tear also means that it lets your fences look better for longer, for less work. This improves your property’s street appeal and generally makes it more attractive for you, passersby and potential buyers/renters to look at.

Less maintenance means less work and lower costs for you, leaving you with more resources to work on other areas of your house. We’re so confident in our fences’ longevity that we offer a 7-year warranty on our products.

5. Manufactured To Australian Standards

A key benefit of working with Outback Fencing is that we build our fences in accordance with all relevant Australian standards. Our powder-coated fences are compliant with the guidelines set out in AS/NZS 4506-2005 Metal Finishing – Thermoset Powder Coatings. These standards apply to metal-based fences for both residential and commercial applications, excluding aluminium for architectural applications.

The AS/NZS 4506-2005 Metal Finishing standards include requirements on areas like coat thickness, pretreatment, corrosion resistance and humidity. We have been building high-quality fences for Australian homeowners for many years and guarantee 100% compliance with rules and regulations.

If you’re looking for powder coated fencing to keep you and your family safe for years to come or keep your business premises totally compliant with Australian standards, you can’t go wrong with Outback Fencing.

6. Available In A Wide Range Of Colours

Outback Fencing’s powder coated fencing options are available in a wide variety of colours, especially when you buy powder-coated Colorbond fencing. This lets you mix and match colours affordably and effectively to match the look of the rest of your home. The powder-coating solutions are pre-mixed to certain colours, eliminating the need to paint over them.

When you powder-coat your fence, you won’t need to worry about solvent mixing or colour tinting. This allows for both a more consistent and durable coat of colour that keeps its look for a long time and is resistant to wear and tear.

For a great-looking fence that’s both durable and easy to maintain, Outback Fencing’s powder-coated steel fences are a superb choice.

7. An Environmentally-Friendly Fencing Option

Outback Fencing is committed to looking after the environment, and powder-coated fences are among our most eco-friendly products.

The environmental benefits of powder coated fencing begin at the manufacturing process. Our powder-coating solution is free of any heavy metals and other dangerous waste products that might seep into the ground from your fences over time. They also don’t produce any of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) you might find in traditional coats of paint.

Powder-coated fences also benefit the environment in that they don’t need constant upkeep and replacement. Customers can enjoy their powder-coated fences for decades before ever having to worry about these things, which means that less waste gets produced.

Outback Fencing’s powder-coated fences are great both for your home and the environment.

8. Powder Coated Fences Are Cost-Effective

At Outback Fencing, it’s our mission to provide quality powder coated fencing that also won’t empty your wallet. We don’t charge ridiculous markups like some other companies might.

One of the main benefits metal fences have over materials like timber is that they last longer. This benefit is heightened by powder-coating, which protects your fences from a wide range of external dangers and allows them to retain their colour for longer. This cuts upkeep and maintenance costs significantly. It will also be decades before you need to replace your powder-coated fences.

Our powder-coated fences are fantastic if you’re in the market for high-quality, affordable fencing options that you won’t need to constantly spend on to maintain.
