Are all Steel Privacy Fence Systems the
same? |
| |
Most definitely not. There are many
variances between the systems currently available in the market.
This is why we always insist that you look for the GramLine Brand
to ensure your peace of mind. GramLine is the only complete system
offering a steel plinth, posts, rails, infill sheet & 3 dimensional
steel lattice. Remember we offer a Plain English 10 Year Warranty
on our Steel Privacy Fences. |

What are some of the major differences
between the systems? |
| |
All GramLine Steel privacy Fences are
made from quality tested Prepainted steel. Our Steel Privacy Fence
system is designed and tested to meet and exceed all relevant Australian
Standards for Steel Privacy Fencing. Some manufacturers use lighter,
thinner gauges of material that may not perform as well as the tested
GramLine System. Again, look for the GramLine Brand for peace of
mind. |

I see where one manufacturer
claims that their system is certified to withstand wind gusts of
216klms/hour. Does the GramLine System perform as well? |

GramLine has requested the basis of these tests and results
but with no success. The stated wind speed of 216kms/hour falls
into a Category 3 Cyclone like Cyclone Roma which hit QLD. Could
you see any type of fence surviving a cyclone like that? It is interesting
to note that that same manufacturer offers a specific product for
cyclone areas and yet it won’t guarantee that product in a
cyclone area. Cyclones have wind gusts in excess of 90 km/hour
in the centre and gusts can exceed 280 km/hour.
GramLine invented the Sawtooth / Zigzag profile and we have installed
over 12000kms of Steel Privacy Fencing. This in itself is testament
to our products. |

Is Colorbond the only fencing
product? |

No. There are other steel mills around
the world that produce quality tested Prepainted steel that Gram
has developed strong working relations with. There is also another
Australian company that paints steel using similar technology as
BlueScope. The paint finish they offer is SMP which has been proven
in Australian conditions for over 30 years. This coating system
meets all the current Australian Standards. The one thing you can
be assured of is that every GramLine Steel Privacy Fence is made
from quality tested Prepainted steel and is backed by GramLine’s
10 Year Plain English Warranty. However there are some manufacturers
who use lighter gauge thinner material that may not have the same
paint thickness as the GramLine product. Once again – LOOK
for the GramLine BRAND to ensure your peace of mind. |
