What Is a

Rigid mesh fencing, also known as welded panel fencing, rigid welded panels, or rigid fence panels, is a modern fencing solution designed for both security and style. This system is easy to install and offers a high level of durability, now available at competitive prices from Clôture Discount.

Rigid mesh fences have replaced traditional fencing rolls, which were often difficult to install and didn't always provide a neat finish. Previously, installing a fence involved several steps:

• Setting T-posts and braces
• Running tension wire
• Unrolling and positioning the mesh manually
• Tensioning the mesh
• Stapling or clipping the mesh in place

With Clôture Discount and our rigid mesh panels, installation is straightforward—simply clip the panels into the posts as you go. You can get a rigid mesh fence for about the same price as a basic chain link or welded wire fence from other suppliers.

Why Choose Rigid Fence Panels?

Rigid welded panel fences adapt to a wide range of layouts. Panels can be installed directly in the ground or on top of a low wall, and can be cut to size for a perfect fit at the end of your fence line. Installation can also be stepped to follow sloped ground.

How to Install a Rigid Fence

The rigid panel fence is one of the easiest fencing systems to install, especially with the HILICLOS system from DISTRICLOS. There are two main installation methods: setting posts directly in the ground, or mounting them on a wall using base plates.

Installing rigid mesh in the ground:

• Start by digging holes every 99.6 inches (the exact spacing between post centers)
• Set your first post in the first hole
• Clip your first panel into the post
• Continue clipping panels and posts together as you move along (use temporary supports to keep the fence straight)
• Once complete, secure everything in place and check for level

Installing rigid mesh with base plates:

• Attach base plates to the bottom of each post
• Install the fence as you would for an in-ground application
• For each post, drill holes and insert anchors to secure the base plates

How to Create Angles with Rigid Fencing

The HILICLOS post system from DISTRICLOS allows you to create angles with a single post. Simply rotate the panel within the post after clipping it in place to achieve the desired angle.

Installing Rigid Fence Panels on a Slope

There are several ways to install rigid panels on sloped ground:

• For gentle slopes: Posts have notches every 4 inches, so you can raise or lower each panel by increments of 4 inches at each post.

• For steeper slopes: Panels can be cut in half to reduce the distance between posts, minimizing the height difference between steps (you'll need twice as many posts).

Another option is to bury one side of the panel so the opposite side sits flush with the ground, preventing gaps under the fence (use taller panels as needed).

HILICLOS Notched or Gripper Posts

HILICLOS posts feature notches or grippers designed to hold rigid panels securely without extra hardware. The posts have a channel with notches every 4 inches, allowing you to snap panels in place for a secure, permanent fit.

This system creates a tamper-resistant fence, as the panels are locked between the posts. There are no plastic or metal accessories that can break or add to the cost. Clôture Discount offers high-quality rigid fence panels made from high-carbon steel, galvanized and powder-coated in your choice of color. HILICLOS rigid panels from Clôture Discount come with a 10-year guarantee and feature horizontal reinforcement folds for added strength.
