When choosing a rigid fence, it's essential to understand the differences between 3D and 2D rigid panels, so you can choose the most suitable solution for your project. These two types of fencing offer distinct characteristics in terms of design, sturdiness and use.

1. 3D rigid panels: a streamlined structure for greater aesthetic appeal

3D panels are recognizable by their “V”-shaped folds, which give them an aesthetic appearance and enhance their rigidity.

🔹 3D panel features

• Galvanized steel wire, average thickness 5 mm.
• V-shaped folds to improve strength and prevent warping.
• Standard width: usually 2500 mm.
• Available heights: from 830 mm to 2030 mm.

Advantages of 3D panels

✔ More affordable price than 2D panels, as they require less steel.
✔ Modern, unobtrusive design, suitable for private residences, schools or parks.
✔ Quick, easy installation thanks to folds that stabilize the panel.

Disadvantages of 3D panels

❌ Less robust than 2D, as it has only one horizontal wire.
❌ Less suitable for sites requiring high security, such as industrial areas or anti-intrusion fencing.

2. 2D rigid panels: extra strength for maximum protection

2D panels are a more robust version of rigid panels, with double horizontal wires for greater strength.

🔹 2D panel features

• Double 6 mm horizontal wires and 5 mm vertical wires (6/5/6 format) or even more robust 8/6/8 version.
• No “V” folds, unlike 3D panels.
• Standard width: usually 2500 mm.
• Available heights: from 830 mm to 2430 mm.

Advantages of 2D panels

✔ Increased resistance to impact and intrusion attempts thanks to double horizontal wires.
✔ Perfect for industrial areas, warehouses, stadiums or schools.
✔ Compatible with blackouts (PVC, wood, composite slats), as the surface is completely flat.

Disadvantages of 2D panels

❌ Higher price than 3D due to greater amount of steel used.
❌ Slightly more complex installation, as panels are heavier.

3. How do I choose between 3D and 2D panels?

4. Conclusion: Which panel should you choose for your project?

• If you're looking for fencing that's attractive, affordable and easy to install, 3D panels are the best choice. It's ideal for homes, gardens and public spaces.
• If you need enhanced security, whether for an industrial site, a school or a warehouse, then the 2D panel is the right choice.
