Innovative modular fences

Reference number
Coordinator Conspiro AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 100 000
Project duration September 2016 - January 2017
Status Completed

Important results from the project

purpose: Concept development of fencing modules with standard components of steel. In the current situation, it is time consuming / expensive to build the fence. But by making use of pre-painted sheet metal as you roll shape in place and with punched modules for corners and ends, you can build fences and fence more stable, easier and with fewer anchors in the ground. Goal: Lower price, easier manufacture, reduce maintenance and the total cost for the end user.

Expected long term effects

1. Concept development. We worked out a concept that included roll-formed sheet metal profiles and sheet metal, for building fences in modules. 2. We managed to force the price -32% compared to a wooden fence, this is not including maintenance costs for the wood fence. 3. Construction of the building modules. We build fences in a ´Lego´ principle of complete components that can be varied in large numbers.

Approach and implementation

1. Concept development. This phase was dependent on input from external stakeholders involved in the roll forming industry, our profiles are OK to roll form in the material quality we want. 2. The price was reduced significantly to a wooden fence, noted is the need to invest in machinery to roll these profiles so called hard tooling. 3. Construction of the building modules. We build fences in a ´Lego´ principle of complete components that can be varied in large numbers. Here, for example, you need to work with, an architectural firm or design college to refine the offer aesthetically.
