There is no Australian Standard for pedestrian barrier fencing. As a consequence suppliers in the market can offer fencing materials that vary greatly in terms of the steel tube profile size, the wall thickness (gauge) of the tube, the strength, the design and method of fabrication, the corrosion resistance, the metal pretreatment process used to clean the product and the powder coating regime. These aspects dramatically impact the cost of the fencing materials but also the whole of life cost of the product, including the safety of the product in service. In the absence of an Australian Standard we have developed this pro-forma specification to assist specifiers receive a fit-for-purpose, compliant, and cost effective outcome. Please CONTACT US and we can provide free of charge a word format version of this proforma specification to more easily use.

Please CONTACT US and we can provide detailed and dimensioned CAD drawings showing the fence and gate assemblies as installed.

• Ø19x1.2mm rectangular picket passing through to two 40x40x1.6mm horizontal rails at 106 centres.
• 25x25x1.2mm square picket passing through to two 40x40x1.6mm horizontal rails at 140 centres.

• Flat top with Ø19x1.2mm or 25x25x1.2mm vertical pickets into the horizontal rails at 106mm or 140mm centres respectively.
• Loop top with Ø19x1.2mm pickets passing through the rails at 106mm centres that extend 150mm above top rail and finish flush with the bottom rail.*
• Rod top with Ø19x1.2mm or 25x25x1.2mm vertical pickets into the horizontal rails at 106mm or 140mm centres respectively, that extend 150mm above top rail and finish flush with the bottom rail.*
*Please note: we recommend flat top fencing for child-safe applications as there is no potential hanging point for children whereas there is with the loop top and rod top style.

• For standard applications we recommend the Ø19x1.2mm round picket styles up to a maximum height of 1500mm.
• For higher duty applications we recommend 25x25x1.2mm square pickets.
• For crowd loaded applications we can offer a configuration that complies with crowd loading Category – Type of Occupancy “C3” in accordance with AS 1170.1 Structural design actions – Permanent, imposed and other actions – Table 3.3 “Minimum imposed actions for barriers”.

• For basic applications we can supply a low cost, light weight pressed steel shroud (1mm gauge) that is zinc plated. This shroud has two fixing diagonal fixing points to the post – in line with the panel - and one to the rail of the panel. We supply a color matched self-drilling tek screw in either 10 or 12 gauge to suit.
• For security applications we recommend our SmartaBracket® steel security bracket (3mm gauge) that is much stronger and vandal resistant than a shroud preventing theft of the panels or unauthorised access to a property. The bracket is hot dip galvanised, rather than zinc plated, after fabrication making it much more corrosion resistant and long lasting. The bracket encloses the rail and fixes to the non-attack side of the post making the bracket quicker to install. This bracket has two fixing points to the post and one to the rail of the panel. We can supply a 12 gauge self drilling tek screw with a standard hex drive or anti-tamper drive.

• For low to medium duty applications we recommend our low cost swing gates made with 40x40x1.6mm stiles and rails, with twin bottom rails up to a maximum leaf width of 2381mm.
• For higher duty applications we recommend a swing gate made with 65x65x2mm stiles and 65x65x1.6mm rails, with twin bottom rails up to a maximum leaf width of 2381mm.

• For low to medium duty applications we recommend a low cost ball bearing hinge that is secured to the gate stile and gate post with a combination of M8 bolts and 14g self-drilling tek screws.
• For higher duty applications we recommend one of our Eternity® hinges that combine a sealed bearing hinge at the top and a greasable tapered roller bearing at the bottom. These hinges have a much higher capacity in terms of the weight and length of the gate and will give years of trouble free service. The top hinge can be adjusted to raise or lower the level of the gate leaf. The assembly consists of a post bracket that is screwed to the gate post with four M10 stainless steel fasteners and a bracket that inserts into the gate stile.
• For self-closing gate applications we recommend a hydraulic self closing hinge that is child-safe. This unit has adjustable tension and screws the gate stile and gate post on site with a series of 14g self-drilling tek screws.

• For standard applications we recommend our Bolt’nLock® Ø20mm slide bolt and Ø16mm drop bolt combination. These units are easily fitted on site and suit a standard padlock. This system is low cost but much stronger than light weight domestic units. We supply 14 gauge self drilling tek screws with a standard hex drive to fit on site.
• For child-safe applications we can supply a magnetic latch that complies with AS1926.

• Polyester powder coat that will give a tough and long lasting colored finish to the fence.
• Zinc rich epoxy primer under coat to suit higher corrosion environments.
• Anti-graffiti coating that assists easier removal of graffiti.
• Hot dip galvanised after fabrication that will give a highly corrosion resistant finish to the fence.
