Why Should I Choose Heritage Woven Wire Fencing?

So, you’re looking for a new fence? Are you looking for a classic style for your fencing needs? Something sturdy yet not tough-looking, and something that adds style and individuality to your front yard? You may be after a heritage woven wire fence!

A heritage woven wire fence, or emu wire fence, is an underrated great choice for your household fence. It’s distinctly different from other types of fences due to its unique style and heritage-inspired wire patterns. If you’re considering getting a heritage woven wire fence installed, Jim’s Fencing are experienced professionals that have been installing fences for Australian homes for over 20 years.

What is woven wire?

Woven wire is made by finely weaving two types of wire together – horizontal and vertical wires that create a tiny grid. You can get different sizes and thicknesses of your woven wire. You can also choose between non-high tensile and high tensile woven wire, with the latter being the more robust and durable option.

What does a woven wire fence look like?

Your woven wire fence can vary greatly. The use of it in commercial fencing, for example, will most likely use the ‘diamond fencing’ style that is common in industrial areas, for temporary fencing for events, etc. For residential woven wire fences, the bottom half of the wall is usually in a simple grid, vertical line or diamond pattern, and the top is an elaborate pattern of swirls, spirals, petals or other shapes. The residential designs are named after iconic Melbourne suburbs: the Brunswick style, Camberwell style, Armadale style, Darebin style and so forth.

Jim’s Fencing Melbourne uses Emu Wire as their heritage woven wire fencing supplier of choice. They offer galvanised wire pickets (that sit between the panes of wire patterns) and either powder coated or galvanised woven wire. They currently offer three heights – 950mm, 1100mm and 1250mm. If you’re interested in a woven wire fence but want something higher (or lower), speak to your Jim’s Fencing expert. They’ll be able to go through possible solutions for you, including fence toppers and hybrid models.

You can powder coat your fence in your colour of choice so that you can match it with your home or make your fence a stand-out feature.

Don’t forget your gate!

When choosing a heritage woven wire fence, your gate can become a standout player. It can either have the same ornamental wire pattern as the rest of your wall, or you can choose a different style to make your gate catch the eye.

What are the benefits of a heritage woven wire fence?

The style and appearance of your woven wire fence is likely the biggest selling point. If you have a period-style home, such as a Queenslander or Georgian-style home, your fence needs to match the exterior of your property. You don’t want something super modern out the front, which is where a heritage fence plays in perfectly. The decorative, sophisticated design adds class and style to your home. Especially with period homes, it can also raise your resale value.

Also, your fence will allow passers-by to see through your fence to your front or backyard due to its woven wire style. If you are garden proud, this is another benefit, as your landscaping skills will be another feature of your property. Realistically, your heritage woven wire fence is likely not as strong when compared to a two-metre steel or iron fence. However, not everyone needs their fence to be a defensive structure. The woven wire fence structure is very durable, so it offers a good balance of hardiness and aesthetic appeal. If you are looking for Pool Fencing and colorbond fence Jim’s is the best the option to think about.
