LYSAGHT® Cyclonic Fencing - Far North Queensland

LYSAGHT Type 3 NEETASCREEN® Fencing

Product Description and Features

The modular LYSAGHT Type 3 NEETASCREEN® fence is one of the most versatile and durable fencing systems you can buy. The COLORBOND® prepainted steel finish with vertical ribbed LYSAGHT TRIMWALL® panels provide strength and simple assembly.

LYSAGHT Type 3 NEETASCREEN® fences are specifically designed not to fly apart during a cyclone. This means they are much safer than standard fences. However, cyclonic wind conditions can be so extreme that LYSAGHT Type 3 NEETASCREEN® fences cannot be guaranteed to survive a cyclone. Gates and their installation must be engineered for each individual application.

Posts, rails and panels are available in a range of COLORBOND® steel colours to allow mix and match combinations
Total component system means quick and simple installation
Termite and rot resistant
May be stepped or raked on sloping ground

FAQs

Can LYSAGHT® fencing be used as a retaining wall?
- No. LYSAGHT® fencing has not been designed or tested for use in this application. It is highly likely the soil will cause corrosion of the COLORBOND® steel.
I've heard that COLORBOND® steel should not be immersed in concrete. How will this affect my fence posts?
- Most fences feature galvanised steel posts and COLORBOND® steel infill sheets. Immersing the galvanised steel posts in concrete does not cause any corrosion problems but you should not allow the concrete to contact the rails or infill sheets of the fence. Check with your fencing supplier.
What components do I need to make up one LYSAGHT Type 3 NEETASCREEN® fence panel?
- For a Type 3 NEETASCREEN® fence you will need:
  2 standard posts, 2 standard post stiffeners, 2 NEETASCREEN® universal rails, 2 NEETASCREEN® infill sheets (1575 mm), 1 LYSAGHT® post cap, 14 self-drilling hex. head screws 10-16 x 16, 16 self-drilling hex. head screws 12-14 x 45, and 4 self-drilling hex. head long shank screws 12-24 x 32.
  
  For a Type 3 NEETASCREEN® Plus Fence you will need:
  2 standard posts, 2 standard post stiffeners, 3 NEETASCREEN® universal rails, 2 NEETASCREEN® infill sheets (1575 mm), 1 lattice (1575 mm), 24 self-drilling hex. head screws 10-16 x 16, 16 self-drilling hex. head screws 12-14 x 45, 4 Super Teks Series 500 screws 12-24 x 32 and an optional post cover strip.

What do I do if my LYSAGHT® fence gets scratched? Will scratches lead to corrosion?
- It is best not to touch up minor damage, such as scratches, with paint. Minor scratches will not affect the performance of your fence because the galvanised and aluminium/zinc coatings effectively protect any cut edges or scratches from corrosion.
Can I use COLORBOND® steel fencing around my pool?
- You should check with your local council for regulations on fences around pool areas. Particular care needs to be taken if COLORBOND® steel is to be installed within the 'splash zone'. Both salt and chlorine may have a corrosive effect on the COLORBOND® steel finish and as such, may negate a warranty claim.

Can I use LYSAGHT® fencing in a saltwater environment near the ocean?
- COLORBOND® steel fences should not be installed within 1 kilometre of marine, severe industrial or other corrosive environments.
How do I maintain my fence made from COLORBOND® steel to ensure long life?
- Your fence is very easy to maintain. Here's a few tips to make sure it keeps looking great.
  - Wipe or hose it down regularly – at least once every six months or more if you live in a coastal area (water restrictions permitting). Pay particular attention to cleaning dirt or debris from under the top rail where rain doesn’t naturally wash.
  - Remove cobwebs using a soft broom. This will deal with any spiders.
  - Don’t let soil, dirt and garden debris build up at the base of the fence or next to the posts and rails. This will retain water and can lead to corrosion.
  - Be careful not to spray the fence with garden chemical sprays or fertilisers as these can damage the surface. If this happens, wash the fence down with water immediately.
  - Don’t use your fence as a retaining wall. It isn’t designed for this purpose.
