Tubular fencing is a popular choice for homes and businesses in Adelaide. You’ll sometimes see them as a home’s front yard fence. But you usually see them as the main security fence for commercial buildings and private properties.
But what exactly IS a tubular fence?
What makes them so popular?
Is it the right fence for your property?
And the burning question…
How much does it cost to get a tubular fence installed in Adelaide?
We’ll answer all those questions and more in this quick 5-minute blog post. Starting with the foundational question:
What Is a Tubular Fence?
Tubular fences are built with steel or aluminium rods.
While they come in various design options, the signature look is a row of vertical rods (or tubes) that form the fence panel.
You can get tubular fences with a flat top.
Or you can get them with decorative spears.
Regardless of the style you choose, a tubular fence will always consist of evenly spaced steel rods that form narrow spaces you can see through.
This genius design allows for visibility through the fence while still maintaining security.
Where To Install Tubular Fences
Tubular fencing’s strength and transparency make it an excellent choice for many applications.
Here are the best, and most popular places, to install a tubular fence:
- Front yard fence for a home
- Safety fence for a pool
- Commercial properties – (Office buildings, warehouses, etc.)
- Surrounding private properties – (Vehicle impounds, police stations, etc.)
- Public areas – (Schools, parks, etc.)
Pretty much anywhere you want to keep people out without blocking the view is a great place for a tubular fence.
Even the Holden Hill police station has a tubular fence (with a gate) securing the police car parking lot.
So that’s where tubular fences go.
But where do they NOT go?
Well, the worst application of a tubular fence is as a backyard fence for a home.
Backyards require privacy.
And while tubular fences have a lot of pros, keeping your yard private is not one of them.
Choose a post and rail or good neighbour fence for your backyard.

Benefits Of Tubular Fencing

- Durability: Galvanized steel or powder-coated aluminium resists rust and corrosion, ensuring tubular fences look great for years to come with minimal maintenance.
- Versatility: As mentioned earlier, tubular fences are an excellent fit for many places. It’s a versatile choice that can satisfy many fencing needs. Front yards, pool enclosures, private properties, public areas, etc.
- Customisation options: Tubular fences come in a wide range of styles, heights, and colours, allowing you to tailor the fence to your home. Go bold and stand out from the crowd!
