Some of the functions concrete fence has been asked to perform are:
- Privacy, security and screening
- Sound barrier
- Enclosure of equipment
- Landscape or other retaining wall
- Protection around communities, monuments and public facilities
- Business signs.
Additionally, concrete fence posts are used with other fence types to provide strength. These fences among others include chain link, cast iron and aluminum.
Concrete can be used to fence in three basic ways:
- Components such as panels, rails, or blocks are pre-cast and assembled onsite
- Concrete is poured or sprayed into onsite molds
- Pre-cast concrete face pieces are applied as a veneer to an existing plain wall.
Installation of concrete walls and fences is generally done by contracted professionals. Considerations such as weight, base preparation and landscape drainage are significant in effective preparation. Improperly installed components can drastically reduce the lifespan of the wall, and repairs can be costly.
In recent years, concrete components have evolved to now include many surprising styles. Concrete fences can be constructed and coloured to mimic the look of wood panel fences, stone walls, brick walls, and wood rail fences
