Making Colorful Steel Fences Maintenance Free

Permacoat® is the one protective coating
that you can specify for steel with confidence.

Permacoat® thermally bonded double layer of zinc rich epoxy base and UV-resistant polyester finish far exceeds other coatings for all measurable performance characteristics (adhesion, corrosion resistance, UV resistance and abrasion resistance).  The cutting edge in powder coating technology now costs no more than paint, PVC or standard polyester coatings.


Every Permacoat® steel fence product comes with a limited ten-year warranty!

Permacoat® Powder Coating
The steel base material has a G-90 hot dip zinc coating, galvanized by a process developed especially for powder coating.  Electrostatic application in the Permacoat® powder coating system results in coated surfaces with unmatched performance.  The base coat of epoxy powder far exceeds the corrosion resisting abilities of painted surfaces.   The "no mar" polyester powder top coat reduces scratches and burnishing marks normally encountered during shipping.

Durability - For years, architects and fence contractors have been asking for a "superior" coating finish that can withstand the rigors of shipment and installation and result in a project with a beautiful "up close" appearance at completion. Ameristar's Color Chain Link Fence Framework is the solution!

UV Resistance - Ameristar's Color Chain Link Fence Framework has "superior" ultra-violet characteristics which far exceed vinyl clad Systems, in South Florida exposure.

Maintenance Free - The galvanized steel substrate combined with the "superior" maintenance free Permacoat™ Color System results in unsurpassed product life expectancy which far exceeds the performance of other coating finishes.

Unmatched Quality - Ameristar Color Fence Systems are the only fence products in the U.S. having the Permacoat™ Color System. Permacoat™ provides the following "superior" qualities:

  • Resistant to scratches, nicks and abrasions
  • Corrosion Resistant
  • Unsurpassed Visual Appearance

Affordability - For years, architects have needed a system to bridge the gap between galvanized chain link and ornamental fencing at an affordable cost. The latest technology in tube mill operations and powder coatings have been combined with Ameristar's state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to produce a "superior" quality chain link fence framework, at a cost that is competitive with single coat polyester or vinyl tubing's.
