Joe's Fencing & Gates specialise in the increasingly popular steel slat style of fencing. A steel fence provides a heightened level of security. In addition, it has a stylish finish.

This style of slat fence is the favoured choice when extra strength is required. This is not just for security reasons. For example, if you live in an area of high wind surrounded by trees, a steel fence is much more likely to not be damaged with the impact of a tree falling.

When a steel slat fence is galvanised  it makes resistant to corrosion.  As a result, it is particularly popular as a fence for Melbourne's Bayside suburbs.

In addition, it is long lasting style of fencing as it only requires a low amount of maintenance. Furthermore, steel  slat fencing has a sleek modern look that complements many styles of homes, whilst affording a great level of security.

Steel slat fences have either horizontal or vertical slats, with varying sizes of slats. The spacing between the slats is adjusted according to level of privacy required. As a result, the closer the slats are together, the higher the level of privacy.

Steel slat fencing gates, including automatic sliding gates and pedestrian gates can be built in the same style to match your new fence. As well, they are a popular choice for inlays for brick fences.  This is a modern and stylish form of fencing, that comes with clean lines and a sharp finish.
