Yenimahalle Panel Fence and Wire Fencing Systems

Between Ostim and İvedik: A Depot Inside the Same District

Yenimahalle is the manufacturing face of Ankara. The Ostim and İvedik organised industrial zones both sit inside the boundaries of this district and together form one of the densest concentrations of small-scale industry in Türkiye. Workshops, fabrication shops, storage buildings and motor trade businesses are packed into one another street by street. Our depot in Ostim sits inside exactly that fabric; for a business anywhere in Yenimahalle the distance between us is effectively 0 km.

What that means for day-to-day work is clear: items held in stock can be dispatched the same day. Material for a perimeter job whose running meters are settled in the morning can be on the road to the address before the day is out. Delivery is always charged, including within Ankara; being in the same city does not make it free. A site survey, on the other hand, is free within Ankara, so you are never forced to decide without seeing the ground.

The First Decision on an Industrial Plot: Do You Leave the View Open

The question most often skipped when choosing a perimeter is whether the inside of the boundary should be visible from outside. Plots in Ostim and İvedik sit close together; the sightline of the neighbouring business, of the street and of a passing vehicle feeds directly into security. Leaving that view open is an advantage for most workshops, because both you and the businesses around you notice what is happening on the ground.

Where you want the view to stay open, panel fence is the most practical answer; the horizontal bend makes it rigid, it holds a straight line over a long run and, being modular, it can be extended later. If you would rather your material stock, moulds or scrap sheet were not visible from outside, complementary solutions that partly close the surface come into play. That choice has to be made at the outset, because a closed surface increases wind load and directly changes the post spacing.

The second decision in an industrial setting is the coating. The air in Ostim and İvedik is loaded with welding fumes, swarf dust and heavy vehicle traffic. In those conditions a weak surface finish shows itself within a few years. Surfaces that are galvanized and electrostatically powder coated last considerably longer than ones that are merely painted. Needing nothing beyond washing and a periodic look-over is a further gain for the operator.

Climbing Risk Behind the Workshop and the Store

On most Yenimahalle premises the real weak point is not the street frontage but the rear and side boundaries. Corners the street light never reaches, that fall outside the camera angle, that back onto a neighbour's wall, are the easiest places to climb. Raising the height at those corners is not enough on its own; the climber has to be left with no surface to take hold of.

In practice the most common answer is to add concertina razor wire on top of the existing fence or wall. The spiral form makes crossing from above difficult, it can be applied even in a narrow strip and it is fitted without dismantling what is already there. If it is going on a wall, the load-bearing condition of that wall and the boundary distance to the neighbouring plot must be checked first.

The mistake made most often with additions of this kind is applying the layer only to the street frontage. A frontage that can be seen is already a deterrent in itself; the side that needs real attention is the one nobody sees. Walking the perimeter once in the evening and noting which points stay in darkness makes choosing the right place much easier.

Residential Perimeters Towards Batıkent, Demetevler and Şentepe

The non-industrial face of the district is every bit as large. In Batıkent, Demetevler and Şentepe it is estate gardens, the fronts of apartment blocks, car park boundaries and the edges of green areas that call for enclosing. What is expected here is less deterrence than an orderly boundary and a tidy appearance: separating the garden from the pavement, the car park from the lawn.

These jobs call for low-height panel systems or light solutions that sit on top of a garden wall. To soften concrete kerbs and wall faces, complementary products such as artificial grass fence are used. When you work with estate management committees, calculating the running meters with the gate openings deducted, and stating that the quotation is read as VAT included, speeds the decision up.

On the residential side the process slows down less for technical reasons than because of the way decisions are taken. The committee collects several quotations, leaves the matter to a meeting, and in the meantime the measurement changes once again. Getting the measurement right at the outset, and writing down the gate openings and the existing wall heights, shortens the job. On frontages where the pavement level is higher than the garden level, the visible height of the line comes out different from the measured height; that detail is skipped very often.

Choosing a Gate for Motor Trade and Open Storage Yards

The problem shared by Yenimahalle businesses with an open yard is that there is not enough room to manoeuvre in front of the gate. Where the street is narrow, the kerb high and the plot opposite close, a swing leaf blocks the street as it opens. At points like that, gate types that slide along the line of the fence work far more comfortably.

• Where there is no room to swing out into the street but there is a clear run alongside for the gate to slide into, a sliding gate suits the position.
• Leaving a pedestrian gate independent of the main entrance for staff coming and going stops the large gate standing open all day.
• Set the gate width by the turning circle of the largest vehicle that enters the yard, not by an average one.

The unseen side of the gate decision is the post and the ground. As the leaf gets heavier, the section of the gate post and the size of its foundation grow; a post that is adequate for a light run cannot carry a wide gate. With rail-guided solutions the ground the rail sits on has to be level and durable. If those two points are not discussed at the measuring stage, extra fabrication comes onto the agenda once the gate reaches site.

What You Meet on Site in Yenimahalle When Measuring Up

The most frequent mistake when working out running meters is reading the boundary length off a map and ordering from that. On the ground the level changes, the neighbour's wall does not sit exactly on the boundary, an electricity pole or a gas box ends up in the middle of the line. Measurements should therefore be taken with a tape, with the corner points marked.

The post choice is settled at this stage as well. On a concrete floor a steel tube post is fixed down with a flange; on soil, the embedment depth and the concrete mix have to be taken into account.

Straight Answers on Dispatch, Site Survey and Pricing

Shipments leave our depot in Ostim. Because the distance to Yenimahalle is 0 km, same-day dispatch is possible; that applies once the order is confirmed and stock has been verified. Delivery is always charged, including within Ankara, and addresses in the district fall inside that.

A site survey is free within Ankara. Installation is not a standard service; our teams attend projects of approximately 1000 metres and above, and on work below that scale the material is delivered and applied by your own team. Prices include VAT. Sending the boundary length, the height you want, the number of gates and the ground type together when you ask for a quotation gets you an accurate figure first time.
