When it comes to fencing solutions, few materials offer the perfect balance of strength, longevity, and visual appeal like PVC-coated galvanised steel. Whether for gardens, farms, industrial areas, or residential spaces, this versatile material ensures reliable performance and a clean, professional look. In this detailed guide, we will explore why PVC-coated galvanised steel is a preferred choice for fencing and how The Mesh Company’s exceptional range of products can meet your needs.
PVC-coated galvanised steel combines two protective layers:
Galvanisation: Steel is coated with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion.
PVC Coating: A robust plastic layer is added over the zinc for extra weather and impact resistance.
This dual protection enhances durability, improves aesthetics, and extends the lifespan of the steel.
Fencing materials must endure harsh environmental conditions. Here’s why PVC-coated galvanised steel stands out:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent protection against rust and decay |
| UV Stability | Resistant to fading and cracking from sunlight |
| Impact Resistance | Withstands heavy weather and physical force |
| Low Maintenance | Minimal cleaning and no need for repainting |
| Aesthetic Appeal | Sleek green finish blends into surroundings |
One of the most significant advantages of PVC-coated galvanised steel is its sheer strength. The galvanisation process alone offers excellent protection against the elements. When combined with the PVC coating, the material becomes nearly impervious to rust, scratches, and dents.
For example, The Mesh Company’s PVC-Coated Galvanised Steel Welded Fence Mesh (100 x 100mm hole) is designed to maintain its integrity for decades, even in challenging climates.
✅ Ideal for windy and coastal environments.
✅ Suitable for high-traffic areas where impact is likely.
✅ Trusted by homeowners and commercial users alike.
Gone are the days of drab, industrial-looking fencing. Modern PVC-coated galvanised steel offers a clean, stylish finish that enhances the appearance of your property. The green PVC coating available at The Mesh Company provides a natural look that blends beautifully with gardens, parks, and outdoor spaces.
Moreover, unlike untreated metal fences, there’s no need to paint or stain the surface. This reduces maintenance tasks and ensures your fencing always looks fresh.
PVC-coated galvanised steel fencing is incredibly adaptable. Some common uses include:
✅ Garden Boundaries: Define spaces without interrupting the landscape.
✅ Pet Enclosures: Safe and durable barriers for dogs, rabbits, and chickens.
✅ Sports Fields: Surround pitches and courts securely.
✅ School Perimeters: Provide safe environments for children.
✅ Industrial Areas: Secure premises without constant maintenance.
Whether you’re fencing off a small backyard or securing a large commercial plot, The Mesh Company has the right solution.
Installing fencing is a straightforward process. Here’s a basic guide:
Measure Your Area: Plan the perimeter and calculate the fencing needed.
Choose Suitable Posts: Wooden, concrete, or metal posts can all work.
Attach the Mesh: Use heavy-duty staples, wire ties, or fencing clips.
Tension Properly: Ensure the mesh is taut for maximum stability.
Secure All Edges: Prevent sagging and intrusion by anchoring firmly.
One of the biggest benefits of this fencing is the minimal maintenance it requires. To keep it in top condition:
✅ Rinse off dirt with a hose annually.
✅ Check for damage after severe weather.
✅ Tighten any loose ties or fixings as needed.
No painting, no rust removal — just effortless, long-lasting protection.

❌ Neglecting to treat or anchor fence posts properly.
Avoiding these pitfalls ensures that your fence stays strong and attractive.
