Galvanized Steel Tubular Fence 1.8m 5ft Rustproof 1.5mm Tube Coastal Grade Marine Powder Coated Panel

A fence that performs well inland can fail quickly beside the sea. Salt laden air, wind driven spray and high humidity attack every cut edge, bolt hole and welded joint, and standard galvanized panels often show rust bleeding at the base within two or three seasons. This coastal grade tubular fence uses a heavier build up to slow that process: 1.5mm wall tube, a 275 g/m² zinc layer, an epoxy primer and a polyester powder top coat.

The coating sequence matters more than any single layer. After galvanizing, the panel is cleaned, given an epoxy primer that bonds to the zinc surface, and then finished with a UV stable polyester powder. This three layer system is tested to 500 hours of neutral salt spray, which gives a realistic margin for seaside villas, marina buildings and port facilities. The 1.8m height covers most boundary requirements, with a 5ft option for pool and terrace surrounds.

For coastal projects we recommend stainless steel fixings as standard, because the screw heads are the first place where rust appears. Panels are produced to drawing and shipped with a fixing kit matched to the substrate, whether that is concrete, masonry or a steel frame. Colour is usually RAL 7016 anthracite or RAL 9005 black, and lighter colours can be selected to reduce heat build up in strong sun.

Coastal grade tubular fencing is used for seaside villas, beach houses, marina and yacht club boundaries, port and ferry terminal perimeters, waterfront hotels and promenade edges. It is also suitable for pool surrounds and rooftop terraces in humid climates, where chlorinated water and salt air combine. For projects within one kilometre of the shoreline, this specification is normally recommended instead of standard galvanized panel.

Panels are interleaved with foam and wrapped in VCI anti corrosion film before palletizing, which protects the coating during a long sea voyage. Stainless fixing kits are packed in sealed bags inside a labeled carton. A 40HQ loads about 480 panels at 2.4m width together with posts and fixing kits.
