Which Fences Will Best Withstand A Storm?

When it comes to fencing, there are a lot of different options available to you.

You can choose between wooden fences, metal fences, or even vinyl fences. But which fence is going to be best for withstanding a storm?

Keep reading to find out.

When it comes to deciding on the best fence to withstand a storm, there are a few things you need to take into account.

Firstly, you need to consider the location of your property – if it’s in an area that’s prone to high winds, you’ll need a fence that can stand up to severe gales.
 
However, if you live in a suburb where storms are common, it’s important to have a fence that can withstand a multitude of weather events, including heavy rain, damaging wind, hail and flash flooding.

Darwin is considered a hotspot for storms and lightning, so bear this in mind before making your choice.

Now that you have determined what your fence needs to be able to withstand, it’s time to see what types of fences we supply and when they're most suitable.

Chain link fences are an option to look into when searching for stormproof fences. This is because they have a much lower chance of being damaged as the wind can blow through the gaps in the fence rather than slamming against a solid barrier.

This allows the fence to move with the wind, rather than against it, which prevents the fence from becoming damaged.
 
Additionally, chain link fences are often galvanised, meaning they have been treated with a protective coating that helps them resist rust and corrosion that is often caused by heavy rain. As a result, chain link fences can last for many years even in our harsh Australian weather conditions.

If you're looking for a fence that will withstand storms, then a chain-link fence may well be your best option.

Vinyl fences are becoming increasingly popular due to their weather-resistant properties. They’re even known to be able to withstand high winds and heavy rain typically associated with our Aussie storms without being damaged.

This is because they are made from a strong and durable material that is designed with extreme weather conditions in mind. Additionally, vinyl fences are often reinforced with steel posts or rails which further increases their strength and stability.

When looking for a fence to withstand bad weather like storms, Australian homeowners often turn to aluminium fences. This is because they are made to be durable and so can handle just about anything Mother Nature throws at them.

 Aluminium is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal, that is known not to rust in rainy or wet conditions.
