Celebrate World Tourism Day with Coastal Fencing Solutions
From seaside holidays to exploring new places, tourism allows us to discover new environments and support local economies. However, properties and developments near the coast need fencing and gates that can handle the challenges of seaside conditions.
What Is World Tourism Day?
World Tourism Day celebrates the social, cultural and economic benefits of tourism around the world.
Whether you're travelling abroad or enjoying a staycation, tourism helps support local businesses, creates jobs and encourages people to explore new places.
With many popular tourist destinations located along the coast, choosing suitable materials for buildings, properties and outdoor spaces is important.
Choosing Fencing for Coastal Installations
Coastal areas can be challenging environments for fencing and gates. Salt in the air and moisture can increase the risk of corrosion, meaning some products used inland may not be suitable for coastal locations.
Choosing the right materials and finishes can help improve the lifespan of your fencing and gates.
At First Fence, we offer a range of fencing and gate solutions for residential, commercial and industrial properties, including options for coastal installations.
Composite Fencing and Decking
Composite fencing and decking are popular choices for homeowners looking for attractive, low-maintenance outdoor solutions.
Made from a mix of wood fibres and plastic, composite materials are resistant to rot, splintering and weathering. They offer the appearance of timber without some of the maintenance that traditional wood requires.
Whether you're improving a coastal garden or updating an outdoor space at a holiday property, composite fencing and decking can provide a practical and attractive finish.
Galvanised Steel Gates and Fencing
Galvanised steel gates and fencing are popular choices for properties that need strong and durable metal solutions.
Galvanisation adds a protective zinc coating to steel, helping to protect it against corrosion. A Polyester Powder Coating (PPC) finish can also be added to some products to provide further protection and offer a choice of RAL colours.
For coastal installations, choosing the right material and finish is important. Salt and moisture can increase the risk of corrosion, so the fencing or gate specification should suit the location and its environmental conditions.
Galvanised steel gates and fencing can be used for a range of residential, commercial and industrial applications.
Residential and commercial systems include:
- Railings and matching gates
- Mesh fencing
- Chain link fencing
For industrial settings that might need higher security, options can include:
- Palisade fencing
- Armco barriers
- LPS 1175-certified fencing
The right fencing system will depend on your property's needs, security requirements and location.
GRP Palisade
For a complete fencing and gate solution, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Palisade is ideal for coastal environments. The BS1722-12 compliant material is unaffected by salt water and sea air, making it perfect for the UK coast.
