Used site fencing
Goods bought back from completed projects, checked and made up into full sets. Cheaper than new, but only worth it when you know what to inspect.
What to check before buying used fencing
Four things decide whether a batch works for years or turns into scrap after one season.
| What to check | Why it matters | When to walk away |
|---|---|---|
| Rust at the base of the frame | water sits there, so the frame rusts through there first | flaking rust, frame giving way under pressure |
| Frame deformation | a bent panel will not couple up and will not stand in line | a visible gap when two panels are put side by side |
| Complete couplers | missing couplers are a cost the seller rarely mentions | far fewer couplers than joints |
| Matching dimensions across batches | panels from two batches do not always join | different frame heights or profiles in one delivery |
Before dispatch we check every batch against exactly these four points and make up missing couplers, so the set arrives on site complete.
Used goods: questions
Apart from price, how does used differ from new?
In looks: scratches, surface rust, colour differences between batches. In use a checked second-hand fence works like a new one, which is why it usually goes to sites where appearance is secondary.
Do I get an invoice and documents?
Yes, an invoice as with new goods. On request we add a batch list with quantities and dimensions.
What is availability like?
It varies, because it depends on what we buy back. Send us running metres and the region and we will say what is in stock and when the next batch is due.
