Types of Concrete Fence Styles

Custom concrete fence styles add privacy, style and are a permanent structure. Concrete fences often use mixed materials to create unique, functional and durable fence designs to suit any architectural style. Fence styles are appropriate for both commercial and residential properties.

Pre-cast concrete fencing - Preform casting uses cement poured into a mold and cured on site or offsite. This process cuts time and uses less manpower to achieve the same work, and is also an efficient use of materials. This method can be used integrated with other materials such as wrought iron or wood. Applications can include freeway sound barrier use, residential fencing and commercial/industrial property delineation. The only limit with this method is imagination and budget. This is the most expensive fencing method.

Mortarless concrete block - This type of fencing method uses no mortar to achieve wall stability. Design specifics include using gravity, rebar and a groove system to keep the blocks in place. Also known as the dry method, it is less expensive, more time efficient and is very durable. Rain, mold and plant invasion is less of a problem with this method. Constructed on site, this method is also appropriate for sound barriers, residential and commercial applications.

Advanced concrete block - The advanced concrete block system uses rebar and polypropylene to reinforce the fencing material. The walls are prefabricated and transported to site. Multiple finishes are available to customize the look of your fence. The National Association of Home Builders Research Center has certified advance concrete block as green point eligible. Only 25 companies have achieved this certification for fence construction and design.

Brick and mortar concrete fence - This design is what most people are most familiar: red or gray brick with concrete. Other materials may be used, such as stone, iron or wood. The concrete is either used as mortar securing the blocks or stone in place or poured into a mold.
