If you’ve ever run your hand along a perimeter and not snagged a sleeve, chances are it was a Roll Top Fence. The top and bottom are folded into smooth loops, so no sharp edges, no drama. Lately I’m seeing city planners and school boards pivot to this style—partly aesthetics, partly risk management, and, to be honest, because maintenance teams keep nudging for fewer injuries and repairs.
A Roll Top Fence is a welded mesh panel with a closed “rolled” beam at the top and bottom. That beam does double duty: safer touchpoints and extra rigidity. Architects like the clean sightlines; facility managers like the fewer incident reports. In fact, many customers say it “disappears” visually compared to chain-link—yet it’s sturdier than it looks.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wire material | Low-carbon steel (Q235) | ASTM A641 / EN 10244-2 zinc-coated options |
| Wire diameter | ≈ 4.0–6.0 mm | Common pick: 5.0 mm for schools |
| Mesh aperture | 50×150 mm (±) | Other meshes on request |
| Panel height | 1.2–2.4 m | Taller with anti-climb posts available |
| Coating | Hot-dip galvanizing + polyester powder | Powder ≈ 60–80 μm; ISO 1461 for HDG |
| Service life | 10–20 years | Real-world use may vary by climate |
Schools, parks, playgrounds, residential perimeters, light industrial, sports fields, and airports. Many facilities teams report fewer “snag incidents” and surprisingly better curb appeal than chain-link. One district project we tracked swapped 1.8 m chain-link for Roll Top Fence around a primary school; complaints dropped to near-zero, and PE teachers noted fewer scrapes near gateways.
Origin (manufacturer site): East side of Baoheng Road, Zhaobazhuang Village, Tangfeng Town, Shenzhou City, Hengshui City, Hebei Province.
| Vendor | Origin | Wire Ø | Coating | Warranty | Lead time | Certs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tikemetal | Hebei, China | 4.0–6.0 mm | HDG + powder (≈70 μm) | Up to 10 yrs (env. dependent) | ≈ 15–25 days | ISO 9001 |
| Vendor A | EU | 4.5–5.0 mm | Pre-galv + powder | 5–8 yrs ≈ | 3–4 weeks | CE, ISO 9001 |
| Vendor B | US | 4.0–5.6 mm | HDG only | 5 yrs ≈ | 2–6 weeks | ASTM compliant |
Panel height, mesh aperture, color (RAL 6005, 7016, 9005, etc.), post type (60×60, 80×60), and security add-ons (anti-lift clips, tamper-proof fasteners). Description: Specification details can be tailored for coastal C3/C4 environments—think heavier zinc and thicker powder.
Bottom line: if you need a perimeter that’s friendly to people yet tough on wear, a Roll Top Fence hits that sweet spot. And—this is me being practical—installers like the forgiving alignment and fewer sharp edges when handling. Your maintenance crew will thank you.
