Fencing system PRAKTIK is 250 cm in length and is composed of a self-supporting steel construction. It consists of two separate spot-welded nets with a mesh size of 5 x 20 cm, and two galvanized steel columns. Zinc finish, possibly anthracite or green from the RAL color fan deck. The advantage of the entire gabion system PRAKTIK is its variable height from 43 to 203 cm as well as its constant thickness of 19 cm. A great advantage is also its easy modular assembly when the columns are placed into pre-prepared holes and then reinforced with concrete. Separate welded nets are then hung in the columns embedded in concrete. The columns are designed in a way that welded nets do not need to be additionally reinforced (screwed). The nets of the PRAKTIK fence are interconnected with spacing hooks, which prevent the structure from stretching when filled with stone.
Each separate fencing component is 250 cm long. You can create a completed finished fence with your desired length by connecting the individual fencing components together with columns. You can shorten the last fencing component to your desired length using lever pliers. The columns are designed so that they don’t interfere with the overall impression of the fence. We have put our years of experience to use when removing problematic areas in fences, such as corners, transitions from fences into bigger or smaller gates, and fence endings.
