GRP Fencing - Captrad
Our GRP fencing is ideal for environments where metallic materials are unsuitable — such as electrical substations, railways, airports, and chemical sites — offering safety, durability, and a visually similar finish to steel.
GRP Fencing
Captrad’s GRP Fencing systems provide a durable, non-conductive and corrosion-resistant alternative to traditional metal fencing. Manufactured from glass-reinforced isophthalic polyester resin with a protective polyester surface veil, our fencing offers long-term weather performance and structural strength at an economical cost.
Why Choose GRP Fencing from Captrad?
Our GRP Palisade and Mesh Fencing Systems combine lightweight construction with exceptional strength and flexibility. Every system is custom-made to meet your specific site requirements and can be configured as bolt-down or dug-in installations. Our in-house fabrication team can adapt profiles using different box sections, angles, and sizes to create a completely bespoke solution.
Depending on the installation environment, we can adjust the resin system to optimise performance against specific conditions such as saltwater exposure, high UV levels, or chemical resistance — making fibreglass fencing the perfect choice for both industrial and commercial applications.
Applications of GRP Fencing
- Railway and Power Industries – Non-conductive fencing for safety around electrical infrastructure.
- Airports and Runways – Radar and radio transparent, preventing interference with control systems.
- Water Treatment and Chemical Sites – Corrosion-resistant and non-magnetic, ideal for harsh environments.
- Public and Commercial Premises – Maintenance-free fencing for secure and long-lasting boundary solutions.
Types of GRP Fencing Available
- GRP Palisade Fencing – Constructed from pultruded GRP profiles, providing a strong, rust-free, and non-conductive barrier that matches the aesthetic of steel.
- GRP Mesh Fencing – Built using GRP grating panels within a rigid GRP frame system. Lightweight yet exceptionally strong, this design is perfect for sites requiring secure visibility and can be paired with matching gates.
At Captrad, we maintain substantial stock levels for rapid turnaround and next-day delivery where possible. Whether you need a standard specification or a fully customised fencing system, our team will work closely with you to deliver the right solution for your project.
Frequently Asked Questions About GRP Fencing
What is GRP fencing made from?
GRP fencing is manufactured from glass-reinforced polyester (fibreglass) profiles, which combine strength, durability, and excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering.
Why choose GRP over traditional steel fencing?
Unlike steel, GRP does not rust, corrode, or conduct electricity. It is lightweight, maintenance-free, and ideal for environments where metal is unsafe or impractical.
Is GRP fencing suitable for high-security sites?
Yes. GRP palisade and mesh fencing systems are designed to be robust and secure, providing effective perimeter protection for substations, railways, airports, and similar critical sites.
Can GRP fencing be customised to fit my site requirements?
Absolutely. We can manufacture GRP fencing to any size or configuration, using different profiles, finishes, and colours to suit your project.
Does GRP fencing interfere with radio or radar systems?
No. GRP is non-metallic and radio transparent, making it suitable for use near radar, telecommunications, and control systems.
Is GRP fencing resistant to harsh weather conditions?
Yes. GRP fencing performs exceptionally well in extreme temperatures, saltwater environments, and UV exposure, making it ideal for long-term outdoor use.
