Can you use welded wire panels as a fence? 

Welded wire fence panels are highly versatile and suitable for various temporary fencing needs. They offer a cost-effective alternative to chain-link options and will not unravel if damaged. Designed to withstand both indoor and outdoor environments, they provide security at affordable prices. Perfect for long-term use in projects where the perimeter is not constantly changing, as frequent relocation and transportation could potentially damage the panels. 

What are welded wire fence panels made of?

Our welded wire fences are made from steel, renowned for its longevity and strength. Each panel is created by welding steel wires together at intersection points, forming a sturdy mesh pattern. The panels are often put through a protective finish process like pre-galvanizing, which coats the steel with a zinc layer to safeguard against corrosion from outdoor conditions. 

How heavy is a welded wire fence panel?

Weight will vary depending on the size of the welded wire fence panel and its gauge.

Our lighter welded wire panel is the 6’ x 12’ Inline Anti-Climb Fence Panel, weighing 30 lbs. Our heavier welded wire panel is the 8’ x 12’ Versa Temporary Fence Panel, weighing 61 lbs. 

What sizes do welded wire fence panels come in?

Temporary fence panels come in various sizes depending on the model, manufacturer, or intended use. At SONCO, our in-stock panels are available in sizes such as 6’x12’ and 8’x12’; both sizes can be ordered with an optional reinforced vertical support bar, to make the panels sturdier.

How long does a welded wire fence panel last? 

Welded wire fence panels undergo a pre-galvanizing process, where a zinc coating that prevents rust is applied. Manufactured with advanced welding technology, these panels feature welds that are 70% stronger than traditional methods. While the lifespan of a panel depends on environmental factors and maintenance, welded wire panels typically last around a decade. This durability makes them an excellent investment for schools, event venues, and sports arenas. 

Are welded wire fence panels safe?

At SONCO, we prioritize security. Our welded wire fence panels stand taller than the market average -- 8 feet compared to the typical 6 feet. This additional height, combined with a small aperture mesh, ensures that our panels are anti-climb, making them an excellent choice for perimeter security. For added safety, we recommend anchoring the panels with weighted bases and clamping them together, making them harder for vandals to move.

Can I install a welded wire fence panel myself?

Yes, you can install temporary fence panels on your own with the right tools and instructions.

Professional installation is often quicker and may be required by certain municipalities and federal regulations for specific industries. Check your local laws before starting.

How do I make my welded wire fence more private? 

To add privacy to temporary fences, consider adding fence screens. We provide fence screens with various blockage levels, allowing you to select the privacy level that suits your needs best. You can also opt for fence screens that are custom printed with any image of your choosing. Check out our fence screens here!
