Stay-Tuff fixed-knot fence is a lower cost alternative to chain link for airport fencing. Our fencing also provides higher security because—unlike chain link—it won’t unravel if one link is cut.
Because Stay-Tuff is constructed from high-tensile wire, the fence can be constructed with 20’ to 25’ post centers. Additionally, bracing is only required every 1320’. These factors lead to substantial savings in materials and time to install the fence.
