At Fence Warehouse, we believe the quality of the coating system is just as important as the quality of the steel underneath it.
That is why we use premium powder coating systems designed to maximise durability, corrosion resistance and long-term appearance across our fencing, gate and architectural products.
From residential fencing and pool fencing through to large commercial security gates and custom architectural projects, our powder coating process is designed specifically for Australian conditions.
Fence Warehouse in Sunshine North provides powder coated fencing and gates throughout Melbourne while also supplying DIY fencing systems Australia-wide.
What Is Powder Coating?
Powder coating is a high-performance dry finishing process where a fine powder made from resin, pigments and specialised additives is electrostatically applied to a metal surface before being cured in an oven at high temperatures.
Unlike traditional liquid paint systems, powder coating forms a tough, uniform and highly durable finish that bonds strongly to the metal surface.
The result is a premium-quality coating designed to provide:
- Long-term durability
- Superior corrosion resistance
- UV protection
- Improved impact resistance
- Excellent colour retention
- Reduced maintenance requirements
Powder coating has become the preferred finishing system for modern fencing, gates and architectural steelwork due to its durability and professional appearance.
Why Fence Warehouse Uses Powder Coating
Fence Warehouse manufactures a large range of custom fencing and gate systems locally in Melbourne including:
- Sliding gates
- Security fencing
- Steel picket fencing
- Vertical blade fencing
- Aluminium slat fencing
- Commercial security gates
- Architectural fencing systems
Because our products are designed for long-term outdoor use, the coating system plays a critical role in overall product performance and lifespan.
Our powder coating systems are specifically selected to provide superior performance in Melbourne’s varying climate conditions, including exposure to rain, UV, moisture and coastal environments.
The Benefits of Powder Coating Pre-Galvanised Steel
Fence Warehouse manufactures custom steel fencing and gates using quality pre-galvanised steel.
When powder coating is applied over galvanised steel, it creates what is commonly referred to as a “duplex coating system” — a dual-layer protection system that provides significantly improved long-term corrosion resistance compared with galvanising or paint alone.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The galvanised zinc layer helps protect the underlying steel, while the powder coating seals the surface and reduces exposure to moisture and contaminants.
This combination dramatically improves durability and can significantly extend the lifespan of fencing and gate systems, particularly in coastal or high-moisture environments.
Improved Appearance
Powder coating provides a smooth, consistent and professional finish available in:
- Matte finishes
- Gloss finishes
- Satin finishes
- Textured coatings
- Architectural finishes
Fence Warehouse stocks more than 100 powder coat colours using premium Interpon and Dulux powder systems, allowing customers to match both modern and traditional architectural styles.
Increased Durability
Compared with many conventional paint systems, powder coating generally provides:
- Better impact resistance
- Improved scratch resistance
- Reduced chipping
- Better colour retention
- Longer-lasting finishes
This is especially important for sliding gates, security fencing and high-traffic commercial applications.
UV & Weather Resistance
Our powder coating systems are specifically designed for Australian outdoor conditions and help maintain colour stability and finish quality over time.
Lower Maintenance
Powder coated fencing and gates require minimal ongoing maintenance and generally do not require frequent repainting.
This makes powder coating an excellent long-term investment for both residential and commercial properties.
Taking Protection One Step Further
At Fence Warehouse, we take our coating process a step further by applying Interpon Redox Metalprep primer prior to final powder coating on custom made steel products.
This additional primer system significantly improves long-term coating performance.
Improved Adhesion
Pre-galvanised steel can sometimes be difficult for coatings to bond to effectively.
The primer layer creates both a chemical and mechanical bonding layer that improves adhesion and reduces the risk of peeling or coating delamination over time.
Triple-Layer Protection System
Fence Warehouse’s coating process creates a premium multi-layer protection system consisting of:
- Zinc galvanised steel layer
- Interpon Redox Metalprep primer layer
- Premium powder coated topcoat
This system provides exceptional long-term corrosion protection and durability.
Improved Coastal Performance
The additional primer layer significantly improves resistance in:
- Coastal environments
- Industrial environments
- High-moisture areas
- Polluted environments
This is particularly important throughout many areas of Melbourne and coastal Victoria where fencing systems are exposed to harsh weather conditions and salt-laden air.
Improved Damage Protection
If a surface becomes scratched or chipped, the zinc-rich primer system helps provide additional protection against corrosion creep and rust development.
Reduced Risk of Coating Defects
Proper metal preparation and primer systems also help reduce the risk of:
- Bubbling
- Pinholes
- Outgassing defects
which can sometimes occur when coating galvanised steel.
In-House Powder Coating Melbourne
All powder coating for custom made products is completed in-house by Fence Warehouse.
This allows us to maintain strict quality control throughout the manufacturing and finishing process rather than relying on outsourced coating contractors.
Our large powder coating facility includes a 9000mm-long oven, allowing us to powder coat oversized gates and large commercial fencing systems internally.
Very few fencing manufacturers in Melbourne have the capability to powder coat oversized security gates and custom architectural products in-house.
Powder Coated Fencing & Gates Melbourne
Fence Warehouse supplies and installs powder coated fencing and gates throughout Melbourne for:
- Residential properties
- Commercial developments
- Factories and warehouses
- Apartment complexes
- Schools
- Government projects
- Industrial facilities
We also supply DIY fencing and gate systems Australia-wide.
Built on Quality
At Fence Warehouse, quality has always been one of our highest priorities.
From our manufacturing processes and welding techniques through to powder coating systems and final installation, our focus remains on producing products designed for long-term durability and performance.
A large percentage of our business comes from repeat customers, builders, landscapers and referrals — something we believe reflects our commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
