Fences and gates are an important element of any property, affecting both its functionality and aesthetics. With growing technological progress and increasing customer expectations, the market for metal fences today offers a wide selection of modern solutions. In this article, we look at the available options and learn more about the innovative solutions proposed by Fancy Fence.


What are the available options?


The range of metal fencing has expanded significantly in recent years. From traditional forged designs to fully automated systems that disappear below ground, property owners and architects now have more choice than ever when it comes to defining boundaries and managing access.


Traditional metal fences


Traditional metal fences, made of steel or iron elements, are a solid and durable choice. They are available in various patterns and styles, allowing for the fence to be matched to the character of the property. These fences can be painted any colour, offering great freedom in design. However, traditional metal fences may require regular maintenance, such as painting or rust treatment. Check out our gallery of Applications.


Modern sliding gates. Retractable fences for properties


Retractable fences are an innovative solution that allows for effective use of space. Thanks to a built-in drive, these gates lower into the ground, becoming invisible when not in use. They are not only functional but also aesthetic, perfectly matching modern architecture. Sliding gates are available in various widths and can be combined, creating fences of any length. The standard Fancy Fence system serves as an access control and entrance management solution, helping property owners organise vehicle entry and define boundaries in an elegant, unobtrusive way.



Reinforced HVM gates


Separately from the standard system, Fancy Fence also offers a reinforced HVM version designed specifically for hostile vehicle mitigation. This is a distinct product category, crash-tested at the CTS laboratory in Germany and certified to ASTM and IWA standards. Retractable gate technology in the HVM version provides anti-ram protection in public locations such as metro stations, city squares, or government buildings, where the specific threat of vehicle-based attacks must be addressed. This solution combines architectural discretion with certified vehicle impact performance. See our implementations on Instagram

Fancy Fence offers innovative solutions in the field of metal fencing. Their system of retractable gates and fences combines modernity, functionality, and reliability. The main element of the system is a gate that retracts into the ground, becoming invisible when not in use. This allows for maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the space while providing structured access control and driveway organisation.




Metal retractable gates: choosing the right solution


The choice of the right metal fence depends on many factors, such as architectural style, functionality, and the specific requirements of the project. Traditional metal fences are suitable for many applications, while metal retractable gates from Fancy Fence are an excellent solution for those who value seamless architectural integration and organised entrance management. For locations with elevated requirements related to vehicle-based threats, the reinforced HVM version provides a dedicated, certified response.


If you are interested in modern metal fences, it is worth considering the various options available on the market and choosing a solution that best meets your needs. Regardless of your choice, a metal fence can become not only a functional element of access management but also a distinctive feature of your property.
