In the Sultanate of Oman, the metal fabrication industry faces unique challenges due to extreme heat and high humidity, particularly in coastal cities like Muscat and Salalah. The rapid urban expansion has led to a surging demand for garden fence panels that can withstand intense UV exposure without fading or structural degradation.
Currently, the market is shifting from traditional wrought iron, which suffers from rapid oxidation in the salty Gulf air, toward anodized aluminium and galvanized steel. This transition is driven by the need for low-maintenance materials that ensure the longevity of fence fittings in high-salinity zones.
Furthermore, the growth of the domestic landscaping sector in Oman has increased the requirement for specialized supports, such as plant support stakes, designed to support indigenous flora against seasonal wind loads while resisting soil alkalinity.
