Welded Wire Fencing Scores Big for Sport Fencing Numerous municipalities invest significant amounts of funding in the construction or renovation of sports facilities. If architects and project owners want to create a truly upscale look welded wire fencing offers many benefits for sports facilities. Welded wire fencing, which is relatively new in the U.S., is already well established in other international markets, such as Europe, where it is becoming a popular choice for residential, recreational, security and sports fencing applications.
Welded wire fencing, including the AMIGUARD® 5000 Series Welded Wire fencing from AMICO Security, offers many advantages. It is aesthetically pleasing, structurally strong, and easy to install, all without a significant cost increase compared to traditional sports fencing. There are several meshes available, ranging in different wire diameters or mesh patterns. This allows architects to utilize different meshes in difficult areas, such as behind soccer goals and baseball home plates, baseball batting cages, or around basketball courts. Lighter meshes can be used in non-critical fence sections, such as the perimeter of soccer and baseball fields, without compromising the overall look and feel. The AMIGUARD® 5000 Series Welded Wire fencing includes several different types of meshes. The AMIGUARD® 5500 mesh is a durable double wire panel. Its rods are welded at all intersections for strength and rigidity. These very solid .31”/.24”/.31” double wire fences with a 2” wide x 8” tall mesh pattern are perfectly suited for industrial estates, sports stadiums, public buildings, airfields, schools, etc. The 5600 3D V-mesh is a cost-effective solution for schools, residential, public, and commercial applications. The AMIGUARD® 5600 Mesh is ideal for the AMIGUARD® rail-less Spider Clamp System since the integrated V gives the 5600 Mesh a structural rigidity equal to that of a fence mounted on a rail system. The AMIGUARD® 5700 wire mesh design with a 3” wide x 0.5” tall mesh pattern makes it extremely difficult to scale or cut the fence without compromising visibility or aesthetics. The small 0.5” spacing between the wires prevents getting a foothold for climbing, and it delays or deters cutting because many power tools cannot fit between the bars. Most meshes are available in different wire strengths. All meshes are coated with a polyester powder coating over galvanized wire, and some meshes are available in Hot Dipped Galvanized finish. All meshes can be installed using the AMIGUARD® rail system or the rail-less Spider Clamp system. The Chameleon™ retrofit system provides a solution for replacing existing chain-link fabric with welded wire mesh while keeping the existing posts.
