  When you’re considering having an ornamental fence installed for your property, it’s time to learn how to protect your ornamental metalwork.

  Fighting against corrosion is a never-ending job when it comes to metal but Hercules Fence can custom design you an ornamental fence that can hold itself up against the elements.

  Wrought iron fencing is excellent to use for any type of property. It is strong, nontoxic and it prevents your ornamental fence from rotting or burning. Wrought iron is a perfect material for custom design of railings, fences, fence gates and more.

  You can fight against the red dust villain we call corrosion in the following ways:

  You can keep a wrought iron fence and wrought iron gate looking fresh with a once a year touch up. Every five years, have the fence and gate sand and have a fresh coat put on as well.
  An oil-based metal paint will provide your fence and gate the maximum durability.

  Hercules Fence Ornamental Steel products are coated with an electrostatically applied powder coating to give your fence a durable and long lasting finish that outperforms painted products.

  We also offer extended warranties from 12- 15 years.

  Review our gallery of Ornamental Steel to see an abundance of fence styles. Hercules fence can also provide you custom welded panels for unique design. Our ornamental steel fences come in black, white, bronze and dark green.

• School Playground Fences: What is the Best Fencing?

  • October 19th, 2012

  Do you need to install a school playground fence? If yes, Hercules Fence is here to help you create the safest school playground area.

  A playground fence purpose is to keep children safe while keeping hazards out.

  When deciding on the best fencing for your playground, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Hercules Fence is here to tell you what to consider before purchasing your playground fence materials. It all has to do with the children’s needs and safety being equally valued in importance.

  The first question you should ask yourself is whether children can climb the fence. A playground fence should never be easily climbed over by children. Playground fences are meant to be tall enough to keep children safe and contained.

  To make it challenging for children to climb the playground fence, the fence should be at least 4 ft high. You may even want to install an un-climbable fence such as solid wood fencing or vinyl privacy fencing. The two-fence types allow no footholds for climbing. You can also use a chain link fencing if the mesh holes are no more than 25mm.

  Next, make sure the fence enclosure you decide upon doesn’t pose any additional threats to your playground. A playground already has enough opportunities for children to be injured. To make your fence as safe for children as possible, make sure the fence installed has no pointed edges or poked out wires.

  Wood and vinyl fencing do not have many sharp corners or edges. If going to a chain link fence, have the fence coated with polyvinyl to make a cushion against the wire mesh. And always avoid any fence with bars four inches apart. This is a death trap for children if heads become entrapped.

• Why are Galvanized Chain Link Fences Great For Urban Homes?

  • October 5th, 2012
  • Posted in Aluminum Fence, Commercial Fencing, fencing, Hercules Fence, Privacy, Residential Fencing Tips
  • Tags: a reliable fence structure, chain-link fence, Galvanized chain link fences, great alternative fence, Hercules Fence Galvanized Chain Link Fence, low maintenance fence, options for residential galvanized chain link fencing, privacy slats, residential fences, Why are Galvanized Chain Link Fences Great For Urban Homes?, wire mesh chain link

  

  If you live in a city setting and you are planning to get a dog or want a reliable fence structure, it’s time to consider you options for residential galvanized chain link fencing.

  Galvanized chain link fences are great fences for urban settings because they are low cost and built to last.

  Hercules Fence is here to tell you all about what makes galvanized chain link fences a cut above the rest.

  The Benefits of Galvanized Chain Link Fencing For Urban Residential Homes

  Galvanized chain link fencing manufactured in the United States is three times as strong as any imported wire mesh chain link.

  The chain link fence is very rust resistant, long lasting and a superior fence all around.

  As a durable and affordable fence, you will have a fence created for you built to withstand constant wear and tear no matter the weather conditions your fence will need to endure.

  It’s also a low maintenance fence. You do not have to paint or stain your chain link fence. This makes it a great alternative fence from a wood fence.

  If you are concern about privacy, your chain link fence can be equipped with privacy slats and these privacy slats come in several different color options to allow your fence to complement your existing home design theme. This will transform your see-through chain link fence into a semi-solid wall that has the same privacy quality of a wooden fence or vinyl fence.

• What Benefits Can An Automated Gate System Add To Your Home Property?

  • September 28th, 2012
  • Posted in Commercial Fencing, fence installments, Hercules Fence, Privacy, Residential Fencing Tips, The Benefits of An Automated Gate System
  • Tags: automated entry gates, automated gates, commercial fences, high-security fences, residential fences, security and privacy, sliding gate, What Benefits Can An Automated Gate System Add To Your Home Property?

  

  Automated gates are great for securing your home property while improving homestyle and adding convenience to your lifestyle.

  With automated entry gates, you will never have to leave your car again to open the gates to your property during those rainy, windy, snowy or scorching hot days (automated gates are safe to use in any weather conditions). With one push of a button your gates will open with ease to your relaxing home.

  You will also be able to open remotely your gates from the inside of your home property when guests visit your home.

  The level of security and privacy automated gates can provide is invaluable.

  For example, the irreversibly geared motors of automated gates make it difficult for burglars to force your gate open and a maglock can be installed on automated gates for extra security. Spikes can be installed at the top of the gate as well to act as a deterrent to burglars.

  Last, but certainly not least, automated gates add to your curb appeal because they give off a look of grandeur to your home. The standard automated gate is wide, tall and made to suit your home and your personal taste.

  You can choose to have a swinging open or a sliding gate if limited space is a concern.

  To have an affordable automated gate installed for your home today, hire Hercules Fence.

• Fence Trends: Adding Appeal To Your Landscape With Aluminum Fencing

  • Tags: aluminum fencing, Curb Appeal, custom iron fencing, Fence Trends: Adding Appeal To Your Landscape With Aluminum Fencing, fences and gates, Hercules Fence, home landscape, maintenance free aluminum fencing, maintenance free vinyl, ornamental aluminum fence, residential fences, white vinyl fencing

  

  If you are looking for something that will add definition and curb appeal to your home landscape, install a good fence.

  Popular right now for the fall season is maintenance free aluminum fencing that resembles wrought iron with self-latching hardware for safety purposes.

  If aluminum fencing is not your style, maintenance free vinyl is always top choice, especially white vinyl fencing.

  Both types of fences add new textures and complement earth tones to give your landscape a more natural look.

  Remember fences and gates are no longer merely functional. Use your fences and gates to define your property and provide structure for landscape elements such as garden plants.

  Hercules Fence is proud to be one of the top dealers in the country for Aluminum Fence. Our aluminum fences looks great with any style home and complements beautiful landscaping while not limiting a picturesque view. Aluminum withstands the elements better than welded steel or wood.  Review our ornamental aluminum fence gallery by clicking here.

  Hercules Fence has a superb reputation for quality service and products. For example, we installed a fence for Harrison Tyler, one of the living grandsons of the 10^th President of the United States, John Tyler.

  Hercules Fence does not only install residential, commercial and high-security, high quality fencing but also Hercules Fence donates products and labor to charities, as well as, ABC’s remodeling project called “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”.
