If you live in an area with a lot of windy weather, you’re probably familiar with the problems facing fencing and railings in harsh weather. Many residential and commercial property owners in these areas opt for steel fencing for a reason. Steel railings and fencing are highly durable and low maintenance, making them ideal for standing up to more extreme weather. Here are just a few of the things that make steel fencing and steel railings suitable for standing up to windy weather.
Weathering
Whatever the weather and climate bring day after day, your exposed fencing takes the brunt of it all. In windy areas near the ocean, this means exposure to salt, which can cause fencing to break down and rust quickly. In areas with a long rainy season, this can result in warping and rotting wooden fences. But with steel fencing, you can count on a robust fence to stand up to wind, precipitation, and whatever else the weather can send your way. Steel is highly durable and easy to maintain, meaning it won’t weather as quickly as other popular fencing options.
Standing Sturdy
Gusts of strong wind can take down many kinds of fencing. From small picket fences to tall wooden panels, storms and strong winds can bring your fence down, requiring costly repairs and frustrating debris. Steel fencing stands strong in the ground, making it less likely to fall. When you opt for a bar or link design over paneling, steel fencing allows wind to move through the fence instead of pushing it over. This allows you a better sight-line as well, making steel fences stronger and more secure fencing options.
Damage from Debris
If you live in an area with a lot of windy weather, you’re probably used to fallen tree limbs and other debris that comes down during a storm. Less durable fencing can be severely damaged by debris during windy weather. Steel fencing is much less likely to be damaged by tree limbs and other wind-blown objects like patio furniture, planters, and miscellaneous debris.
Versatile Design
Another great reason to choose steel fencing and railings in a windy climate is the versatility of this material. With steel, you will have plenty of designs to choose from to perfectly integrate your fencing into your home and landscaping design scheme. You won’t have to worry about your fence requiring frequent replacement and repairs from wind and weather damage. Instead, you can focus on finding the perfect fence to fit your unique style and add value to your property.
