Corrosion-Resistant Fencing Ideal For The Coast | Betafence SA

Living on the coast is a dream for many. However, the constant humidity and salty air pose significant challenges to metal objects in coastal regions. To combat corrosion in such environments, installing durable fencing is essential for long-lasting protection.

For coastal residents, it is crucial to invest in a robust fencing solution that can withstand the harsh coastal conditions. The Betafence EasyView range is specifically designed for coastal regions to offer maximum protection and longevity. Should you require assistance, please contact our sales team for more information on our corrosion-resistant fencing solutions tailored for coastal environments.

Protecting Your Coastal Property with Durable Fencing

The combination of moisture and sodium chloride in coastal air accelerates the oxidation process in metals, leading to rapid rusting. Everything from steel gates to bicycles is vulnerable to the corrosive effects of saltwater air acting as an electrolyte, hastening the formation of rust.

For coastal residents, it is crucial to invest in a robust fencing solution that can withstand the harsh coastal conditions.

The Galvanization Process for Corrosion Resistance

To make metals resistant to corrosion, they undergo galvanization, where a protective coating like zinc is applied to the metal surface. This shield prevents moisture, salt, and oxygen from reaching the underlying metal, inhibiting corrosion.

Despite galvanization, prolonged exposure, zinc coating damage, and alkaline coastal conditions can compromise the protective layer over time.

Adding an Extra Layer of Protection: PVC Coating for Longevity

To ensure the longevity of Betafence's EasyView fences in coastal areas, an additional protective layer in the form of a PVC coating is applied. This thermal plastic barrier covers the entire fence, acting as a watertight shield against the elements, effectively warding off coastal corrosion.

FAQs & Answers

1. What makes coastal areas more corrosive for metal fences?
Coastal air contains high humidity and salt, which accelerates the oxidation process in metals, causing rapid rust and deterioration.

2. How does galvanisation protect fences from corrosion?
Galvanisation involves coating metal with zinc, forming a protective barrier that prevents moisture, salt, and oxygen from reaching the metal surface.

3. Is galvanised fencing enough for coastal environments?
While galvanisation offers strong protection, coastal environments may damage the coating over time. An extra layer like PVC is recommended.

4. What is PVC coating and why is it used on coastal fences?
PVC coating is a thermoplastic layer applied over galvanised fences, acting as a watertight seal that offers added corrosion resistance.

5. What fencing solution does Betafence recommend for coastal areas?
Betafence recommends the EasyView range, which is galvanised and PVC-coated for enhanced corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance.
