Why Upgrade Your Hog Wire Frame
Wood frames might get the job done—until they don’t. Over time, they bow, crack, and rot, leaving your once-sleek hog wire fence looking tired and uneven. That’s where BarrierBoss® black steel track kits come in. These heavy-duty steel channels are engineered for precision, locking your panels firmly in place while delivering a clean, architectural finish.
Instead of wrestling with warped lumber or custom fabrication, these tracks do all the hard work for you. They’re pre-sized, rust-resistant, and available in multiple dimensions, so you can build anything from a deck railing to a full perimeter fence without breaking a sweat—or your weekend schedule.
Weatherproof Style For Every Project
Worried about coastal humidity, blazing sun, or winter moisture? Don’t be. Each track is fluidized dip-coated—a process that bonds a protective layer thicker than traditional powder coating. The result? A finish that stands up to scratches, salt spray, and UV rays without fading or flaking.
Whether you’re going for a farmhouse-chic backyard fence or a modern industrial balcony, these black steel tracks add just the right amount of polish. And since they’re part of The Forever Fence™ system, they integrate seamlessly with other BarrierBoss® panels and gates—so your project looks cohesive, not cobbled together.
Installation Made Simple
No welding, no fancy tools, no problem. Each track kit slides together with precision. Just position your hog wire panel, secure it with the included screws, and admire your handiwork. It’s the kind of DIY that actually feels “done right” the first time.
Need flexibility? Sizes range from 3’ x 6’ to 8’ x 8’, giving you options whether you’re enclosing a small patio or building out a backyard masterpiece. And yes—they’re compatible with hog wire or mesh panels up to 1-inch thick.
FAQs
Are these track kits weatherproof?
Absolutely. Each track is made from galvanized steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant dip coating that holds up in any climate—from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific Northwest.
Do I need special tools to install them?
Nope. A standard drill and screwdriver are all you need. Just slide your hog wire panel into the channel and fasten the screws.
Can I use these for gates or deck railings?
Yes. They’re perfect for both, offering a clean, strong frame that enhances your project’s appearance and longevity.
