Steel or aluminium, manufactured to approved drawings
We manufacture 45 degree blade fencing in steel and aluminium for architectural boundaries, privacy screens, commercial frontages and coordinated gate systems. The fixed 45° blade direction can reduce direct sightlines while keeping open gaps for airflow and filtered light. Send us the required view direction, panel schedule, blade section, gap, finish and destination for a factory quotation.
Direct answer for project buyers
45 degree blade fencing is a panel or screen system in which each vertical blade is fixed at a 45° orientation instead of presenting its broad face directly across the fence line. The angled depth interrupts selected sightlines while the clear gaps retain ventilation and filtered light.
The angle alone does not complete the specification. Blade direction, section face and depth, wall thickness, gap, panel span, rails, posts, connections, gates and site viewing positions determine how the finished boundary performs and looks.
Confirm which views should be reduced—from the street, boundary, driveway, windows or inside the site.
The open layout can retain airflow and light, but the result depends on blade depth and clear gap.
Wind, pool, fall-protection, anti-climb and regulated security duties require project-specific design and evidence.
Important limitation: 45° blades provide directional screening, not guaranteed full privacy or security from every viewing position.
Material before final dimensions
We manufacture both routes. Select the material from the required section, fabrication method, weight, coating system, gate design, site exposure and project documents—not from appearance alone.
Welded steel routeSTEEL 45° OPTION
Steel can use solid flat bar or tubular blade sections with welded rails and a project-selected zinc and coating route.
Aluminium profile routeALUMINIUM 45° OPTION
Aluminium can reduce component weight and use a powder-coated profile route, but alloy, wall thickness, connections and pretreatment still require definition.
Coordinated accessCOMPLETE SYSTEM
Keep the 45° direction and spacing coordinated across fence bays and access openings while allowing for frames, hinges, locks and automation hardware.
Planning references, not fixed stock sizes
The values below reflect common public market examples and typical project requests. We do not treat them as a fixed catalogue specification; the approved drawing and quotation control production.
| Specification item | Common planning references | Confirm for quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Steel or aluminium | Grade/alloy, solid or tubular route, wall thickness and required documents |
| Blade orientation | 45° fixed directional layout | Angle reference line, public/private side, corner direction and gate continuity |
| Blade section | 50×10 mm and 50×16 mm references are common; other profiles are possible | Face × depth × thickness, tolerance, end treatment and connection method |
| Clear gap | 30 mm and 50 mm references appear in the market | Privacy target, viewing distance, airflow, opening limits and blade centres |
| Panel height | 900 / 1200 / 1500 / 1800 mm planning references | Finished height, ground line, slope, local rules and regulated application |
| Panel width | About 2000–2364 mm appears in public examples | Post centres, transport, wind review, site breaks and gate locations |
| Rails or frame | 40×40 mm rail references are common | Section, wall thickness, quantity, rail position, weld or mechanical fixing |
| Posts and fixing | Base-plated or embedded routes | Line/corner/gate duty, substrate, anchors, wall interface and exposure |
| Finish | Powder coat; galvanized or duplex routes for steel when specified | Pretreatment, zinc route, colour, gloss/texture, exposure and approval sample |
| MOQ and lead time | Project-specific | Material, quantity, tooling/profile, gates, finish, approvals, packing and destination |
Custom manufacturing: Send a panel schedule, PDF, CAD file or dimensioned sketch. We will review the 45° orientation, material, blade profile, gaps, supports, finish and matching gates before confirming the specification.
Compare the viewing task
A 45° layout should be selected around the required sightline. The blade direction that screens a footpath view may look more open from another approach.
| Project objective | What the 45° layout can do | Design input to confirm | Limit to review |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen a street or footpath view | Interrupt a selected direct viewing path without making the fence solid | Public-side direction, observer height, distance, blade depth and gap | Other approach angles can remain more open |
| Retain airflow and filtered light | Keep openings between blades while reducing straight-through visibility | Ventilation target, opening area, blade centres and surrounding walls | Tighter geometry can reduce openness and increase load |
| Create an architectural frontage | Produce a deep, directional rhythm that changes as people move | Material, profile, colour, panel breaks, corners and gate alignment | Photos alone do not define the finished geometry |
| Coordinate a matching gate | Continue the blade direction across pedestrian, swing or sliding openings | Frame, hinges, latch, motor, safety clearances and opening direction | Hardware can interrupt the spacing and sightline |
| Support a security brief | Provide a controlled visual boundary when designed as a complete system | Height, gaps, footholds, posts, gate hardware and risk level | Do not assume an untested layout is anti-climb or security-rated |
Quote the complete boundary system
We can supply the 45° fence panels together with posts, fixings and matching gates. Send us your layout or drawings, and we will confirm the complete system for your project.
Steel or aluminium blades aligned to the approved direction, gap and panel schedule.
Line, end, corner and gate posts with base-plated or embedded routes selected for the site.
Tabs, brackets, bolts, caps and anchors coordinated with installation access and finish protection.
Pedestrian, swing or sliding gates developed around blade direction, frames, locks and automation.
Material and finish are separate decisions
We review the substrate, fabrication sequence, pretreatment, coating system, colour, exposure and approval method together. A colour name alone is not a complete finish specification.
Define alloy/profile, pretreatment, powder system, colour, texture or gloss, exposure and approval sample.
Review the steel substrate, cut edges, weld areas, preparation, zinc basis if used and powder-coat coverage.
Evaluate venting, drainage, distortion risk, zinc appearance, surface preparation and the specified top-coat system.
Where directional screening fits
45 degree blade fencing is suited to projects that need an architectural boundary with controlled sightlines. It should not be presented as automatically compliant with every regulated or high-security use.
For offices, retail, facilities and public-facing boundaries balancing presentation, airflow and controlled views.
For developers and contractors coordinating privacy direction, masonry interfaces, pedestrian gates and driveways.
For drawing-led screens where filtered views and ventilation matter more than a fully solid enclosure.
Send the applicable standard, opening limits, finished height and gate requirements for project-specific review.
Include the required performance level; an untested architectural blade layout is not automatically security-rated.
Define the atmosphere, material, connections, coating system, fasteners and maintenance expectations early.
From approved geometry to export load
We convert the confirmed panel schedule and 45° blade direction into a production, inspection and packing route. The exact records and third-party involvement are agreed during quotation.
Material and section check: confirm steel or aluminium route, blade section, rails, posts and accessories.
Geometry check: panel size, 45° orientation, blade direction, clear gap, squareness and gate alignment.
Finish check: preparation, colour/appearance reference, handling and agreed repair requirements.
Export packing: panel separation, edge protection, labelled hardware bundles and loading sequence.

Buyer questions
It is a fence panel or screen system in which each vertical blade is fixed at a 45° orientation. The angle changes direct sightlines while retaining open gaps for airflow and filtered light.
Yes. We manufacture steel and aluminium routes. The selected material, blade section, wall thickness, rails, posts, connections, finish and gate framing are confirmed from the project requirements.
Public market examples commonly show 50×10 mm or 50×16 mm blade references with gaps around 30 or 50 mm. These are planning references only, not fixed stock specifications; we confirm the final geometry with the drawing and quotation.
It provides directional screening rather than guaranteed privacy from every viewpoint. Blade depth, direction, gap, fence height, distance and the observer position all affect visibility.
Yes. We can review pedestrian, swing or sliding gates with a coordinated blade direction and spacing. The gate frame, hardware, automation and safety clearances must be included in the drawing review.
MOQ and lead time are project-specific. Material, blade geometry, panel schedule, finish, gates, quantity, inspections, packing, destination and drawing approval all affect the formal offer and production schedule.
