What Is BRC Steel Fencing?

BRC (British Reinforced Concrete) steel fencing, often known as “weld mesh fencing” or “roll-top” fencing, is a type of fencing consisting of high-strength steel wire welded at each intersection to form a strong mesh grid. The fencing’s roll-top edges, where the wire is curved into a rounded loop, distinguish it in both design and function. This rounded form keeps the fencing safe to touch while eliminating sharp edges, which can be dangerous in more traditional fencing. BRC fence is available in a variety of heights and mesh sizes to meet a wide range of security and aesthetic requirements. This style of fencing is especially popular in areas where durability and minimum maintenance are required. Furthermore, its sturdy, rigid structure makes it an excellent choice for properties that require secure perimeters, while its customised options suit a wide range of applications.

Key Features of BRC Steel Fencing

Design and Structure

BRC fencing is made out of a grid of steel wires that are welded at intersections to form a strong mesh layout. The roll-top edges provide an additional degree of safety by eliminating sharp ends, making this fence perfect for locations visited by people or animals. The distance between wires can vary depending on the purpose, and BRC fencing can be customised to fulfil specific security or aesthetic needs. Its modular design also enables for simple installation and adaptability to uneven terrain, making it an adaptable option for a variety of locations.

Durability

One of the most prominent features of BRC steel fencing is its excellent durability. Steel wires are usually galvanised or coated with a protective layer, which provides excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and regular wear and tear from weather conditions. This makes BRC fencing ideal for outdoor applications, as it remains durable and efficient even in extreme conditions. Unlike wood, which can distort or decay with time, BRC fencing maintains its structure and strength even after years of exposure.

Benefits of BRC Steel Fencing

Strength and Security

The basic purpose of any fencing is to offer security, and BRC fencing specialises in this task. The welded steel mesh is difficult to cut or break, forming a sturdy barrier to intruders. Furthermore, the fencing’s design makes climbing difficult, providing an extra layer of security. For commercial or industrial situations where high security fencing is a major importance, BRC fence provides a reliable option that deters trespassers while successfully securing the perimeter.

Cost-Effectiveness

Compared to other fence materials such as iron or even high-grade wood, BRC fencing is relatively inexpensive, especially given its endurance and low maintenance expenses. Its durability requires fewer replacements or repairs, resulting in long-term savings. The quick installation technique further contributes to cost savings, making BRC fencing an affordable option for property owners.

Aesthetic Value

BRC fencing is both useful and visually appealing. BRC fencing comes in a variety of colours and finishes and can be customised to match the surrounding landscape or architectural design. The clean lines and structural mesh design give it a modern appearance, making it appropriate for properties with a contemporary taste. Its translucent mesh structure allows for visibility, making it perfect for settings with open views, such as parks or public spaces.

Environmentally-Friendly

Steel, the major material used in BRC fencing, is recyclable, making it an environmentally-friendly option. Many BRC fences are made of recycled steel, and when they reach the end of their useful life, the materials may be recycled again, decreasing waste. This component of sustainability appeals to both businesses and homeowners that value environmentally-conscious purchasing decisions.

Typical Applications of BRC Steel Fencing

Residential Use

In residential locations, BRC fencing is commonly used for home security and garden boundaries. Its strong nature gives homeowners peace of mind, while its aesthetic appeal improves the appearance of the property. Its softened edges make it a safe choice for family homes, particularly those with children and animals. Additionally, BRC fencing can be coated in a variety of colours, allowing it to mix nicely with home exteriors and landscape. 

Commercial Use

Businesses and industrial sites typically employ BRC fencing to secure their facilities. BRC fencing provides a sturdy and reliable perimeter solution for warehouses, office buildings, and manufacturing plants. Its strength deters prospective invaders, and the clean, professional appearance compliments business aesthetics. BRC fencing can be enhanced with anti-climb elements or other security measures.

Brc Fence – Both Has Security Protection and Decoration Function

BRC fence, also can be call roll top fence. It is a special welded wire mesh fence with a triangular roll top structure at its top and bottom. In fact, the name of “roll top fence” is derived from this.

Brc fence is manufactured by bending the top and bottom on the basis of normal welded wire mesh fence. Except for that, brc fence adopts the steel wires with larger diameter to resist external shocks. And the precise mesh structure guarantees a good view so that you can see whatever you want to see even at night.

Currently, roll top fence is widely used in the regions of Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. High-strength steel wires and a unique bending edges ensure its high safety; in addition, the structure on the top and bottom makes it more soft and beautiful to attract people’s attention. Therefore, brc fences are mainly used as security fences or barriers in parking lots, airports, swimming pools, residential areas and as decoration facilities in gardens, parks and zoos. We are committed to making it an ideal choice for those who want to have a practical and beautiful fence.

Packaging

  • Fence panel: metal/wooden pallet + bundle belt + plastic film. Here we place the BRC fence panels on the metal pallet one by one in order of face up and face down.
  • Fence post: they are also placed in the metal pallet according to the above steps. Each post also be individually packaged with plastic bags.
  • Fence accessories: they will be placed in carton box.

Installation

  • If the ground is muddy, you can directly buried the post into the ground, generally speaking, the depth of 40–50 cm is enough to stabilize the post, that is: the post need to be higher than brc fence panels at least 40–50 cm.
  • Next is to place the brc mesh panels between the posts and use the corresponding accessories to fix it. Here, it is necessary to ensure that there is no gap between the brc fence panel and post or only a very small gap, otherwise it will affect the use of accessories.
  • Finally install the rain cap on the top of the post. If you find it’s hard to install the rain cap because of the height of brc fence, you need to install the rain cap before fixing the posts and panels. If the rain cap is made of metal material and it has already welded on the post, you can do nothing.
  • In addition, if the ground is not mud but concrete, you can weld the flange at the bottom of the post and use M10 anchor bolts to fix the post and flange.
