Fence panels.
Eleven types, one supplier.

A fence panel is one complete section of fence, made to a set height and width. You set the posts, fix the panel between them with brackets or rails, and repeat until the run is closed. Most panels in this range are galvanized steel, often powder coated on top. Others are aluminum, composite or vinyl.

Because every section is the same, a panel fence is quick to plan and quick to build: count the sections, add one post more than you have panels on a straight run, and add the brackets, caps and gates that belong to that system. The mesh or pickets arrive finished, so there is no fabric to stretch and no boards to cut on site.

Start with what the fence has to do: keep people out, keep children and pets in, give privacy, look good at the front of a property, cut noise, or close off a job site for a few months. Each subcategory below holds one type, with the posts, brackets and gates made for it.

Wire Fence

Rigid welded wire panels with the wires welded at every crossing. Double wire panels come in 4/6/4 GA and the heavier 0/4/0 GA, both with a 2" x 8" mesh, 8'2" wide and 4', 6' or 8' high. The V-fence 3D panel is a single wire panel stiffened by bends. Security Fence holds the 358 anti-climb mesh, and Gabion Fence the parts for a stone-filled wall built from two rows of double wire panels.

Metal Fence

Every steel panel in one place: welded wire and 358 mesh, ornamental picket panels from Fenceweb and Fortress, and the metal posts, post brackets and gates that go with them. Start here if you know you want steel but have not chosen a style yet.

Ornamental Fence

Ornamental Fence gives the look of wrought iron in welded steel tubing. Fenceweb's own panels come in residential, commercial and industrial grades with flat top, pressed point or curved pressed point tops, in black, with matching walk gates, sliding gates, posts and rail brackets. Fortress adds the Versai, V2 Commercial, V3 Industrial and Titan Industrial steel lines.

Aluminum Fences

Aluminum Fences holds the Fortress aluminum panels, posts and gates, for an ornamental fence that does not rust. Aluminum is lighter than steel, so the panels are easier to carry and set.

Composite Fencing

Composite Fencing offers the Gardenode Equinox system: composite slats that slide into grooved aluminum posts and close the view completely. The slats do not rot, splinter or need staining.

Vinyl Fence

Vinyl Fence holds white vinyl privacy panels 6 ft high and 8 ft wide, with tongue-and-groove pickets. Each panel comes with its own 5" x 5" post, a straight run needs one extra post at the far end, and the matching walk gate is 4 ft wide.

Privacy Fence

Privacy Fence brings together panels that block the view, from vinyl privacy panels to Fortress Estate panels and the Gardenode Solstice privacy kit, which fills a double wire panel with composite slats. Privacy strips that weave through double wire mesh are under Fence Accessories.

Soundproof Fence

Soundproof Fence holds acoustic modules rated 18 dB or 24 dB, with matching gates and fixings. Use it along a busy road, a rail line or a plant, where an open fence lets the noise straight through.

Palisade

Pool Fence

Steel and aluminum panels and gates that Fortress marks as meeting the pool code. Most US pool codes ask for a barrier at least 48" high with self-closing, self-latching gates; always check the code where you build. The gate matters as much as the fence, so plan the hinges and latch together with the panels.

Temporary Fence

Free-standing fence for job sites and events. ZND anti-climb mesh panels and TempFence Wholesale chain-link panels come 6 ft or 8 ft high and 12 ft wide, with pedestrian barriers, stands, couplers, gates and covers. Nothing is dug in, so the fence moves with the work.

Fence Post and Fence Accessories

Fence Post holds round and square posts for panel fences, including white vinyl posts. Fence Accessories holds the parts that finish a run: post caps, brackets, rails, privacy slats and post-setting products such as the Fortress ReadySet post setting compound and Pro-Poxy anchoring epoxy.

Chain link fence

Chain link fabric is listed in this category too, including a 2" mesh, for yards, pet runs and boundaries where a woven fence is wanted instead of rigid panels.

The sizes below come from the panels in this range. Each product page lists every height, width and finish of that panel.

• Posts: square steel in 2" 16 ga, 2-1/2" 14 ga and 3" 14 ga or 11 ga, each with a cap, plus surface mount posts with a base plate for concrete.

Vinyl and temporary panels

• Vinyl privacy panel: 6 ft x 8 ft, white, with one 5" x 5" post.
• Temporary fence panels: 6 ft or 8 ft high and 12 ft wide.

• Steel: the strongest choice and the only one for 358 security mesh. Galvanized, and powder coated on most panels.
• Aluminum: lighter than steel and does not rust, used for ornamental and pool fence.
• Vinyl: a solid white privacy fence that never needs paint or stain.
• Composite: wood fiber and plastic slats in aluminum posts, a privacy screen that does not rot, splinter or need staining.

Hot-dip galvanizing covers the steel in zinc, which protects it against rust. A powder coat is a color layer baked on top of the zinc: it adds a second layer of protection and changes the look. Fenceweb double wire panels come both ways, hot-dip galvanized or powder coated black RAL 9005, and the powder coating on those panels carries a 10-year warranty. Small scratches can be touched up with repair spray in the matching color. Plain galvanized suits an industrial site, while black sits quietly against buildings and disappears against hedges and grass.

Both use the same 2" x 8" mesh and mount on posts with brackets. A double wire panel has two horizontal wires at every crossing, so it is flat, stiff and takes more load: choose it for schools, business sites, sports grounds and secure boundaries. The 3D V-fence is a single wire panel made stiff by pressed-in bends, lighter to carry and set: choose it for gardens, homes, parks and light industry.

A post is longer than the fence, because part of it goes into the ground. As a rule about 2 ft goes into concrete, more for tall fences, gates and soft ground, and the footing must reach below the local frost depth. That gives a 6' post for a 4' fence, an 8' post for a 6' fence, a 10' post for an 8' fence and a 12' post for a 10' security fence. Double wire and V-fence panels go on 2-3/8" square or round posts, and 358 panels on 3" x 3" square posts.

• 4': front yards, schoolyards, play areas and vegetable gardens.
• 6': privacy around a backyard, dog runs and most business boundaries.
• 8': business premises, sports grounds and sites that need a taller barrier.
• 10': 358 security fence around data centers, utilities and correctional facilities.
• Pools: at least 48" in most US pool codes; check the code where you build.

• Homes: double wire 4/6/4 GA or V-fence panels for backyards and boundaries, ornamental steel or aluminum at the front, vinyl or composite for privacy.
• Pools: Fortress pool-style panels and gates, hung with self-closing, self-latching hardware.
• Schools, parks and sports grounds: double wire panels 4', 6' or 8' high, with a clear view across the grounds.
• Data centers and utilities: 358 security fence or 0/4/0 GA double wire panels, with gates and access control at the entrances.
• Correctional facilities: 358 security mesh, whose small openings leave no foothold or finger hold.
• Business and industrial sites: 0/4/0 GA double wire, and Fortress V3 Industrial or Titan Industrial ornamental panels.
• Construction sites and events: ZND and TempFence temporary panels, pedestrian barriers and fence covers.
• Roads, rail lines and plants: soundproof fence modules rated 18 dB or 24 dB.
• Gardens: V-fence panels to enclose a vegetable or flower garden, with open mesh that climbing plants can grow along.

For data centers, correctional facilities, utilities and industrial sites, look at 358 security fence first. Its mesh openings of 3" x 1/2" leave no foothold or finger hold, which makes it hard to climb and hard to cut. The 0/4/0 GA double wire panel is the step below it: an open, very stiff panel for schools and business sites that keeps a clear line of sight for cameras. Fortress Titan Industrial ornamental panels reach 118" and include a Shield top with pickets bent outward.

The steps below are for a welded wire panel fence on posts set in concrete. Ornamental, vinyl and composite systems follow the same order; their product pages list the parts per section.

1. Check the property line and local rules, and call 811 before you dig so buried utilities are marked.
2. Stretch a string line along the fence line and mark the corners, the gate openings and the post positions at panel width.
3. Set the gate posts first, so the gate opening is exactly right, then the corner and end posts.
4. For double wire panels, use posts about 2 ft longer than the fence height and set them in concrete or quick-setting concrete. Check the local frost depth for how deep the footing must go.
5. Set each post plumb, against the string line and at the height the bracket system asks for.
6. Fix the first panel with end brackets, set the next post and fix the panel to it with inline brackets. Use corner brackets where the fence turns.
7. Repeat along the run. On a slope, step the panels so each one stays level.
8. Fit the post caps, let the concrete cure, then hang the gates and adjust the hinges and latch.

1. Posts: one per panel, plus one to close each straight run. Check the post size the panel system asks for.
2. Brackets or rails: they fix the panel to the post. End, corner and inline posts each take their own bracket.
3. Caps: they keep water out of hollow posts.
4. Gates: a walk gate for people, a double gate or drive gate leaves for vehicles, made to match the fence, with hinges and a latch.
5. Concrete or a post-setting product for every post, and base plates or surface mount posts where the fence stands on concrete.
6. Privacy strips or a privacy kit if a wire fence must also block the view.
