Arrowhead Fiberglass Fencing

Fencing along the riverbank in North Wales can be challenging with flood-prone areas demanding resilience. Historically, we have used timber fencing but arrowhead fiberglass fence posts might be the new normal as we have had great success installing it on the Conwy. We discuss below how arrowhead fiberglass fence posts might be the optimal choice for fencing regions susceptible to flooding.

Strength and Corrosion Resistance

Unlike traditional materials prone to water-related degradation, fiberglass has water-resistant properties, ensuring the structural integrity of the fence. The arrowhead fence posts are resistant to corrosion, safeguarding against the long-term effects of exposure to water, greatly extending the lifespan of the fence.

Flexibility

Having a flexible fence allows the landowner to cross the fence without it being removed.

Ground Anchoring

The pointed arrowhead easily penetrates the ground, creating a secure anchor that prevents the fence from being displaced during floods or other adverse conditions or from being pulled out of the ground.

The fencing can be electrified by connecting it to a solar pump.

Previous fencing

In flood-prone areas, choosing the right fencing material to protect the river is paramount and arrowhead fiberglass fence posts are a great solution. Their strength and flexibility ensure that the river is protected even during frequent flooding.
