A close investigation of the latest building trends in Brisbane and Brisbane suburbs shows that aluminium fencing and automatic security gates are enjoying huge popularity. A key driving factor in the demand of aluminium fencing and automatic security gates is that aluminium fencing provides security without sacrificing style and fashion. Homeowners have become more security conscious and secure fencing is high on the priority list when choosing the right fencing for their home.

Sadly, security planning has become necessary in response to increased security breaches to our home. Gone are the days that it was safe to leave the children’s bikes lying on the front lawn or the main reason for a fence was to keep children and animals in rather than keeping intruders out. Reality requires us to install strong, secure gates and fencing to our home.

A great security solution is to install strong and durable aluminium fencing to provide an effective, yet stylish barrier to the more private areas of our property. Aluminium fencing comes in a range of styles. Aluminium slat fencing can be either with a gap or no gap. There are a couple of different schools of thought about which style is best for security. One view is that is better to leave some gaps so that neighbours can see in and you can see out – immediately becoming aware of any unwanted visitors or activity. The other viewpoint is that no gap aluminium fencing prevents prying eyes from seeing in while at the same time providing maximum privacy. Both are valid security considerations and the choice of which type of security fencing is right for you will depend on your individual security requirements.

An added level of security is to install an automated gate. An automated gate means you don’t need to leave the security of your car while arriving or departing from your home. It also means unwelcome visitors cannot simply open the gate and walk in. You have a higher level of control over who comes in and goes out which is the way it should be.

The good news is that you have a lot of choice when it comes to choosing stylish, secure aluminium fencing and automatic security gates. If a standard product does not meet your needs then you also have the option of having a custom made secure fencing system installed. The triple benefits of aluminium fencing, security, style and fashion, will ensure its popularity for many years to come and without a doubt, the peace of mind that comes from choosing aluminium security fencing and automatic gates will be well worth it!

Security Fencing in Brisbane in High Demand

Why do we need a fence? Well usually we are either trying to keep something in or out. A fence is the perfect way to keep the kids in, the dogs in and the intruders or sticky beaks out. When we think of a fence we are usually thinking of security.

When driving around Brisbane, like so many cities in Australia, it is clear to see that security fencing comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Of course security fencing has all sorts of applications ranging from security fencing for residential areas to security fencing for the industrial and commercial areas of Brisbane. What most of us see is the residential application but in fact security fencing is extensively used by all sorts of businesses around Brisbane.

Sometimes security fencing is just used on the front boundary but for a truly secure fence it is wise to erect security fencing around the entire perimeter. In residential settings around Brisbane home owners will typically go for a more aesthetically pleasing front security fence or any fence that can be seen from the street level. They will then supplement with more simple security fencing on the other boundaries.

Higher density living in Brisbane has meant that the need for security is higher than it ever was before. Security conscious home owners like to balance their security needs with the need for a fence that looks nice and is in keeping with the style of their home. Front fences are typically getting higher. Once upon a time the front fence was really just used to define the boundary of the front yard. These days the fence is used almost exclusively for security – security of our belongings, our lives and our privacy. It seems we all want our own little sanctuary and having a security fence is one way of cocooning us away from the hustle and bustle of our urban surroundings.

In commercial applications security fences are used around building sites, industrial sites, storage facilities and so much more. The uses are endless. They don’t always need to look good, just look strong and of course actually be strong to keep intruders out. Many businesses however go to a lot of trouble to make their security fence aesthetically pleasing and in keeping with their company image and branding. For this reason security fencing used in commercial applications are often powder coated so that the security fence “looks nice.”

No doubt the flexible range of options is what has led to security fencing being so popular in Brisbane. The progression in security fencing options is simply changing to meet the demand of Brisbane residents and businesses. No doubt as demand continues to grow we will see even more innovation and design ideas by manufactures of security fencing in Brisbane.

Cantilever gates deliver a great solution when used in conjunction with a security gate or automated security gate. A cantilever is basically a beam supported only on one end. In cantilever gates the rails are on the fence structure hidden out of view. The great advantage with cantilever sliding gates is there is no track. This means that the gate slides smoothly and quietly. They are perfect in situations where there is uneven ground, over pavers, grass, gravel or water. The operation of a cantilever gate is smooth and quiet as there is no contact between the gate and the track that you would normally have to use.

Cantilever gates are great for extra wide spaces or extra wide driveways. For exceptionally wide areas it is possible to use a cantilever gate from each side of the driveway, meeting in the middle.

Another great benefit of cantilever gates is that they can work on an incline and they are great for steep driveways. The reason is they can be installed on an angle. Cantilever gates are available in a range of styles and colours. It is possible to have cantilever gates custom made to suit any style or design you can imagine.

Sometimes home owners don’t know what to ask for. They just know they want an automated security gate that is quiet and delivers a great solution for their space. A reputable fabricator will advise you on the range of gate solutions available to you and will be able to design the right solution for you.

Cantilever gates are available pre produced or can be custom made to suit any situation. Usually the cantilever gate design will be custom to suit either the specific need of the space or the aesthetics of the design.

Cantilever gates are great in all weather conditions because they do not come into contact with the ground. Even weather conditions such as snow or ice have little effect.

Traditionally cantilever gates have been used mostly in commercial situations as they are ideal for large spaces and high traffic areas. More recently homeowners have become aware of the benefits of cantilever gates and are using cantilever gates in residential situations.

Installation of cantilever gates tends to be easier than more conventional methods as the use of a track is not required. There is no need to dig up an existing road or driveway saving time and money.

If you have an upcoming building project and you are thinking about gates, then it is definitely worth considering a cantilever gate. Cantilever gates really do deliver a great solution.
