Storage King Deagon

In a strategic partnership with Total Construction, AH Fencing was tasked with enhancing the perimeter security for Storage King Deagon. This project involved the installation of 114.14m of 2100H Black Chainwire fencing with 3.15mm mesh in-ground and cranked posts, a 2m Chainwire PA gate in black, and two units of fire egress handles. The project’s location, adjacent to the Bruce Highway and an Energex Substation, alongside the challenge of tight site access, demanded meticulous planning and execution.
