Ornamental Steel Picket Fence: 7 Critical Danger Facts

Factory Hot Dipped Galvanized and Powder Coated Ornamental Steel Picket Fence in Industries and Workshops

An ornamental steel picket fence from POLYMETAL looks clean and elegant at first glance – straight lines, decorative tops and a smooth black finish. But behind that nice view, the wrong fence can hide serious risk, danger and costly flaws: thin steel that bends, weak welds that crack and poor coating that peels, leaving your perimeter full of invisible gaps and expensive damage.

POLYMETAL designs its Tubular steel picket fence systems to eliminate these hidden traps. By controlling the steel tube quality, hot dipped galvanizing, powder coating thickness and key dimensions like rail frame, upright spacing and post height, POLYMETAL helps you avoid the deadly pattern of early rust, fence failure and long-term financial loss.

Basic Parameters – Where Most Fences Start to Go Wrong

1. Material: Steel tube or galvanized steel tube

2. Surface: Hot dipped galvanized, then powder coated

3. Colour: Usually black, customised colours acceptable

4. Application: Residential and villa, business and industry area, factories and workshops, public buildings, parks, roads

Cheap ornamental steel picket fence systems often look the same in a quick snapshot, but hide dangerous weakness: ungalvanized tube, very thin powder, or poor steel that warps. Even products that claim to be “like hercules fence panels” can suffer from these shortcuts if the specification is not clearly controlled. These hidden defects quietly spread until one day the fence bends, rusts through or fails near a driveway or entrance. POLYMETAL uses fully hot dipped galvanized tube and controlled powder coating to break this destructive trend.

Key Dimensional Elements of POLYMETAL Ornamental Steel Picket Fence

5. Metal Steel Picket Fence Rail Size: 40 × 40 mm, 45 × 45 mm, 50 × 50 mm square rails

6. Metal Steel Picket Fence Picket Size: 16 × 16 mm, 25 × 25 mm, 30 × 30 mm square vertical pickets

7. Metal Steel Picket Fence Post Size: 60 × 65 mm, 75 × 75 mm, 80 × 80 mm, 100 × 100 mm posts

Downgrading even one of these elements – thinner rails, smaller pickets or short posts – creates a structural flaw. At first you only notice a slight lean or rattle; later, a small impact becomes a full panel failure. POLYMETAL keeps a disciplined dimensional rule set so your ornamental steel picket fence doesn’t quietly become a hidden hazard.

These drawings give you a clear overview of the POLYMETAL ornamental steel picket fence layout – rail frames, picket spacing and post options. When suppliers avoid giving you this level of data and structural outline, it’s usually a warning sign that they are hiding thin sections, poor welding or cost-cutting that turns into a serious problem later.

7 Shocking Danger Facts in Cheap Ornamental Steel Picket Fence

If you only look at colour and price, you can easily fall into these 7 danger points. POLYMETAL designs its ornamental steel picket fence range specifically to eliminate them:

• Danger Fact 1 – Under-sized rails: Light rails twist and bow between posts, creating a visible weakness that spreads over time.
• Danger Fact 2 – Thin or hollow pickets: Small, light pickets bend under climbing loads and become a structural fault when people lean or sit on the fence.
• Danger Fact 3 – Excessive picket spacing: Wide gaps provide footholds and handholds; this unsafe pattern turns your fence into a climbing trap instead of a deterrent.
• Danger Fact 4 – Posts too short or narrow: Shallow posts crack at ground level and lean, opening dangerous gaps at gates, driveways and corners.
• Danger Fact 5 – Poor galvanizing and coating: Low zinc thickness and thin powder coat cause early rust, coating failure and long-term repair cost.
• Danger Fact 6 – Inconsistent welding: Weak welds are invisible at first but become hidden defects that snap under impact or fatigue, creating sudden safety crisis points.
• Danger Fact 7 – No clear specification checklist: Without a documented POLYMETAL-style guide and checklist, panels, posts and gates arrive as a mix of sizes. That oversight leads to mismatch, installation errors and continuous waste when you need replacement sections.

POLYMETAL uses a consistent dimensional principle – rail, picket, spacing and post sizes tied to fence height – plus controlled hot dipped galvanizing and powder coating. This gives you a clear technical profile and protects you from the hidden pitfalls that come with “standard” ornamental steel picket fence offers.

POLYMETAL Ornamental Steel Picket Fence – Residential & Villa Series (Table 1)

This residential & villa series avoids the common drawback of under-sized posts on front boundaries. Matching fence height to post height and section helps stop leaning and cracking at driveways – a frequent and expensive mistake in cheap ornamental steel picket fence installations.

POLYMETAL Ornamental Steel Picket Fence – Business & Light Industrial Series (Table 2)

This business & light industrial series gives you a solid security edge for car parks, loading docks and office frontages. Oversized pickets and posts reduce the threat of fence bending when vehicles park too close or people climb near the boundary.

POLYMETAL Ornamental Steel Picket Fence – High Security & Perimeter Series (Table 3)

This high security & perimeter series is intended for sensitive boundaries where any structural failure becomes an immediate security crisis. Stronger rails and posts reduce the threat of forced entry, cutting and ramming.

POLYMETAL Ornamental Steel Picket Fence – Heavy Post & Gate Line Series (Table 4)

This heavy post & gate line series is critical for driveways, sliding gates and corner loads. Using lighter posts here is a classic installation misstep – gates sag, latches misalign and the whole entrance becomes a failure zone. POLYMETAL specifies these stronger post options so your ornamental steel picket fence gate line doesn’t become your weakest side.

By choosing a POLYMETAL ornamental steel picket fence and working from these clear specification tables instead of vague “standard panels”, you close dangerous loopholes, avoid costly errors and protect your property from the fence failures that only appear when people lean, climb or drive near your boundary – exactly when the threat and potential loss are at their highest.
