Fence Fabric

"Put a better face on your fence"

FINISHING OPTIONS

You can customize Fence Fabric to best suit your needs by choosing various finishing options such as reinforced edges or grommet spacing at various intervals. Fence Fabric recommends reinforced edges and grommetting at 12" intervals for most projects. Read the information below to learn more about these and other options.

Once you determine which finishing options work best for you, see our Hardware section to find out about the tools you can use to mount or support your new Fence Fabric.

Edges

Prints are expanded just beyond the dimensions of the project and then folded and bound at the edges to provide seamless images at full size that are ready for mounting. These are the edge choices:

  • Heat Welds - The standard edge. An electric current is passed through the material along the folded edges to bind the layers together at the molecular level.
  • Reinforced Sewn Edges - An extra strip of material is inserted at the edges before binding with a double stitch for superior strength. This feature is available at a small extra charge and is the recommended finishing option.

Fastening Options

For fence-based projects we recommend that you use grommets and zip ties to attach Fence Fabric to your fence. It is important to use UV-stabilized zip ties as other ties can degrade under outdoor conditions. Zip Ties will be included FREE with orders exceeding $750 at your request. Grommets can be placed at 12" to 24" intervals. Grommeting at smaller intervals will allow for greater weight distribution along the fence, which is best for areas with moderate to heavy winds. Learn more about these fastening options below.

  • Heavy Duty Grommets - Larger metal fasteners that offer maximum strength and durability for projects hung in any area. These metal fasteners work with zip ties or other hardware to secure Fence Fabric to your fence.
  • No Fasteners - Depending on the nature of your project, you may choose to omit fasteners. One option for custom projects is screwing directly to a fence. Another option is the use of pole pockets, wherein the material is folded over and bound to create a space for a wooden or metal pole. You may also consider a stand or other Hardware to support your new Fence Fabric.

Wind Slits

Wind slits can be added to any Fence Fabric project to allow wind to pass through. As this can detract somewhat from the realism and overall appearance of a print, as well as the long-term structural integrity of the material, you should consider Supreme Mesh Vinyl from the Material Choices as a wind permeable alternative.
