It is now possible to install a fence around your business or personal property that’s virtually maintenance free and does not rely on paint or sealant to insure its longevity. There would be no need to rewire the fence line, the fence would never sag in the middle, it would survive a grass fire and brush off powerful winds. These sturdy fences are made of concrete that is strengthened with rust proof basalt and can be installed by Monolithic Constructors, Inc. of Italy.

By using basalt to fortify the concrete, instead of traditional rebar, the fence will never rust from the inside. A colorant can be mixed with the concrete to protect the fence line even further. With the colorant added, the fence would never need to be painted. The colorant mixture recommended is a light brown sand mixed with a white colorant combination that will defy the ages.

In Texas, where grass fires are common place, the Monolithic engineered fence is fire safe and equally durable in extreme weather conditions, a real benefit to ranchers as well as home and business owners.

These unique fences can be designed to enhance your property while helping to fight soil corrosion around your garden or yard. Several design patterns are offered and a uniquely engineered design zigzag pattern strengthens the fence in order to withstand fluctuating soil conditions and to resist straight-line winds.

The fence can be customized utilizing several techniques offered thru Monolithic including texturing the concrete with trowels and shovels. A popular feature is to spray the surface of your concrete fence to match an interesting series of objects or materials. For example, corrugated sheet metal can been used to create an endless embossed ridge effect while pre-stamped forms are used to generate a concrete fence resembling stone and other textures. Many types of textured surfaces can be achieved using these preformed templates.

Planters:
Attractive concrete Planters can be added to beautify the property while matching the coloring of the fence. They can be triangular, round, square, or any shape that would fit the landscape. Again, the concrete used is reinforced with basalt to prevent rusting and ensure longevity of the planter, despite limitless watering.

Spray-in-Place Concrete Fences: How to Get Just the Look You Want

Concrete Fence

Fence sections can run straight or even curved, however, the fences zigzag pattern at the top of this picture is recommended to combat the ever changing soil conditions that are commonplace in Texas.

Here is an angle showing a straight fence section becoming zigzagged to ensure fence stability.

A five-sided corner post allows the fence to pivot and navigate around property lines to completely encompass the property.

This middle section post is divided to show a couple of different fence coloring options. The left half has a lime ingredient included in the mixture that was used to white wash the fence. The right section was left unpainted to reveal the sandy-white colorant used in the original mix. In actuallity, the fence will never require painting and could remain a sandy-white color.

A closer look of a corner post shows different textures that can be achieved while constructing the fence. Plus, a side-by-side comparison of shows the original sandy-white colorant added to the concrete mix contrasted with a painted coat of white-wash on the right.

A closer look at the fence texturing.

A spray-in-place concrete fence adds a beautiful touch to any yard or provides privacy for your home or business. It separates and defines a yard and is a beautiful backdrop for landscaping.

This view demonstrates how thin the layer of concrete fence actually is yet still surrounds the property as if it were a massive wall.

Again, the zigzag pattern appears on the fence line to increase fence stability and ensure its longevity despite ever-changing soil conditions and straight-line winds.

Pre-stamped forms can help create patterns within the concrete fencing during the initial spraying.

A closer look details the pre-stamped forms used to decorate the concrete fence line. While one side of the fence is textured the backside can be smooth.

Sheet metal was used to created an endless symmetrical pattern down one side of this solid concrete fence.

The backside of the corrugated sheet metal fence line shows color options and design treatments along a smooth surface.

A pair of concrete planters enhance the entrance to the main offices of Monolithic Constructors, Inc. in Italy, Texas. The left planter contains a variety of flowers while the planter on the right is a rock garden featuring one stone which is the meaning of the word monolithic.

Custom shaped planters can be installed to elegantly enhance any property.
