Bar Fencing: Its Characteristics
Vertical bar fencing has long suffered from an unflattering image. It was often associated with uniform, design-less equipment. Yes, but that was before!
Traditionally composed of square or round bars, generally in bottle green, this type of outdoor equipment now offers a wide range with different shapes, colors, finishes, etc.
While bar fencing was frequently favored for delimiting industrial sites or collective housing, it is now perfectly suitable for fencing a private property like yours!
Indeed, contrary to what one might think, bar fences do not only come in the form of simple bars. The panels that make up the fence can feature different types of designs.
Good news: it can meet everyone’s needs and aesthetic preferences!
Worth noting: generally, when we speak of bar fencing, we think of steel equipment. However, it can be available in other materials: aluminum, wrought iron, etc. There are also wooden bar fences. Called ganivelle or Gironde fencing, this natural equipment mainly found on the coast can also be used to mark out a pathway on your property or a flower bed. Good news: ganivelle is part of the Districlos catalog! Made of rot-resistant hazel wood requiring no treatment, it will mark out your garden for years to come!
