Why choose a rigid mesh fence for your property?
The rigid fence is a reinforced version of traditional mesh, combining strength and design. It is suitable for both individual houses and developments, schools, businesses, or condominiums.
Enhanced security
Made of welded metal panels, the rigid fence offers excellent resistance to intrusion attempts. It is difficult to deform or climb over.
Excellent durability
Thanks to its anti-corrosion treatments (galvanization, powder coating), it withstands Swiss climatic conditions without weakening. Its maintenance is almost nonexistent.
Quick and stable installation
Unlike a concrete wall or a wooden fence, the rigid fence is installed quickly. It offers very good stability thanks to its posts that can be set in concrete or mounted on plates.
A simple and modular aesthetic
With its clean lines and numerous available colors (green, anthracite gray, black, white), it integrates discreetly into all environments.
Compatibility with privacy screens
PVC, wood, or composite slats can be added to the rigid panels to create an effective privacy screen. This allows you to adjust the level of privacy according to your needs.
Steps for installing a rigid fence with Avenir Rénovations
The installation of a rigid mesh fence requires a rigorous methodology. Here are the main steps of our intervention on your property.
What types of rigid fences do we offer?
There are several variants of rigid mesh fences, depending on the level of security, usage, or desired style. Avenir Rénovations offers you different configurations.
This is the most common model. It consists of welded panels with horizontal reinforcements. It is perfectly suited for private homes.
With tighter mesh, thicker panels, and reinforced posts, this model is recommended for businesses, warehouses, or sensitive sites.
It combines the advantages of rigid fencing with the privacy of a solid fence. Privacy slats easily fit into the mesh to block the view.
A masonry base supports the posts and panels. This offers more stability, elegance, and limits moisture rising in the privacy slats.
Our solutions include the integration of sliding or hinged gates, motorized or not, as well as pedestrian gates, in a harmonized set.

The advantages of a rigid fence in French-speaking Switzerland
French-speaking Switzerland presents climatic and regulatory constraints that must be taken into account. The rigid mesh fence perfectly meets these requirements while respecting even the tightest budgets.
Suitable for harsh climates
Rain, snow, wind, or significant temperature fluctuations: the rigid panels retain their shape and color without weakening. Their treatment ensures exceptional longevity.
Compliant with safety standards
For establishments receiving the public, such as nurseries, schools, or professional buildings, the rigid fence meets the height, strength, and finish requirements imposed.
Easily modifiable
It is possible to install the panels in a staggered manner on sloped terrains, cut them to fit complex areas, or add gates and corners.
Good value for money
More expensive than flexible mesh but much cheaper than a masonry wall, the rigid fence offers an excellent compromise between price, robustness, and aesthetics.

Regulations in French-speaking Switzerland for the installation of a rigid fence
Installing a rigid fence requires compliance with local urban planning rules. Requirements may vary from one canton or municipality to another, but some obligations are common to most residential areas.
Building permit
A declaration or permit is often required if the rigid fence:
- exceeds 1.20 to 1.50 m in height
- is on the property line or roadway
- includes masonry elements (low wall, posts)
We assist you in preparing the file and sending it to the municipal services.
Distances to be respected
The fence must be installed at a sufficient distance to avoid encroaching on public land or obstructing visibility (especially at street corners). It is advisable to inform the neighbors at the property line.
Aesthetic and integration
In certain areas (historical, protected, or agricultural), the municipality may impose a maximum height, a color, or prohibit privacy screening. Green or gray rigid panels are generally well accepted.
Safety standards
In the presence of children, animals, or public places, the fence must comply with stability, finishing (no sharp edges), and height standards. All our products meet these requirements.
FAQ – Rigid fence installation works
Are you considering the installation of a rigid fence but still have some doubts? Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions by our clients in French-speaking Switzerland.
Is a rigid fence suitable for sloped terrain?
Yes. Rigid panels can be installed in a staggered or stepped manner. Our teams adjust the heights and inclination to ensure a uniform and secure result.
Can a rigid fence be fixed to an existing wall?
Absolutely. If the low wall is in good condition, we can fix the posts with chemically anchored metal bases. This avoids the need for new foundations.
Is it possible to add a privacy screen to a rigid fence later on?
Yes. Privacy slats can be added at any time. They easily fit into the mesh of the rigid panels without specific tools.
What is the average lifespan of a rigid fence?
On average, 20 to 30 years, or more depending on exposure and maintenance. The thermally galvanized panels resist very well to external aggressions.
Is a permit necessary to install a rigid fence?
In some cantons and municipalities, yes, especially if the fence exceeds 1.20 m or if it is installed on the public road boundary. We assist you with the procedures if a permit is required.
Is it possible to integrate a gate or motorized gate into the fence?
Yes, our rigid fences are designed to easily integrate a gate or a portal, whether manual or motorized. Everything is aesthetically harmonized.
