6 feet of flood water
Over five million properties in the United Kingdom are at risk of flooding. With flood damage costs in the region of 1.1 billion pounds per annum it’s imperative that homes in flood risk areas have robust flood defences in place. One of the most robust defences you can invest in is flood fencing. Flood fencing can stop flood waters at the boundaries of your property, keeping your home safe.
The Stormguard Floodplan system of flood fencing works by combining PVC fencing with patented flood seals. The strong PVC boards and posts provide significant protection to the lateral force generated by a flood. These posts and boards are dug in under the ground to ensure the best possible strength.
The boards are then sealed with our own watertight insulation which prevents water from getting through the gaps in the fencing. Tests have shown that the fencing is highly resilient to flood water and can stop flooding up to 1.8 metres (6 feet) in height.
Our flood fencing comes with a 3 year guarantee. We can ensure that the fencing will be as effective as time goes by as it is on the day that we install it. Even if the fence is exposed to flood waters it is designed to be a no maintenance system.
Even if the flood waters exert enough lateral force to move the board, the fencing will revert to its original state and position without any remedial work needed. The PVC fencing is highly resistant to deterioration and is unaffected by long exposure to water and most chemicals. There is simply no better material for flood fencing!
At the request of several customers we have also been offering an excellent way of making flood defences much more aesthetically pleasing in outdoor locations. We have fitted fence panels in place of standard white flood barriers — these fencing flood barriers can be cut to fit to size for any gate.
The barriers have the same protective properties as our flood fencing. The main difference is that the panels are removable and allow you to keep access routes open, giving 24/7 flood protection which fits in with the aesthetics of the area.
Flood fencing can also be used to protect commercial properties. We have installed flood fencing at Oak Mall shopping centre in Greenock, where the ease of deployment and low storage requirements made it far superior to sandbags.

As with any kind of fencing, flood fencing will weather naturally over time. Unlike traditional timber fencing, it will only fade in colour rather than rot and decay, outlasting timber fencing by many years. The position and exposure to the elements will determine the speed of this colour change.
