What are the different types of security fencing

There are many types of solutions in the fence market, from an electric fence to chain link, barbed wire, and ornamental fencing to palisade fencing. However, if high-security is at the top of your priorities, there are certain key factors to consider in order to make the right choice. Read on to have a better understanding before making an investment.

Different uses for security fences

Security fences can have many applications, they can be a good deterrent for intruders, keep assets safe, safeguard people or livestock by keeping them contained in safe areas, and other intended purposes. No matter what your high-security priority is, your fence should minimize threats and danger; people shouldn’t be able to climb, cut, or penetrate it. We often see high security fencing combined with security cameras and other added protection to provide yet another layer of access control.

3 Common types of security fences: Pros and Cons

• High Security Chain Link Fencing: By adding structure and materials to your common chain link fence, it can be turned into a higher security option. The downside is, it can be tampered with more easily than other materials.
• Palisade Fencing: Consists of heavy-duty posts, often made from I beams, with angle iron horizontals and either angle iron or roll formed pales. However, it doesn’t have the benefit of being able to follow ground contours.
• Electric Wire Fencing: Another high-security choice that are usually connected to security equipment in a guardhouse. Cons are, if intruders find a way to disable the system, they can be breached.

What is the strongest type of fencing?

As mentioned above, there are many options when selecting a high-security fence, but there are also ways in which they might not be as safe as intended.

Your best choice is steel! By installing a steel fence, you are guaranteeing strength, durability, low maintenance, weather resistance, and even sustainability. Military installations, government buildings, and even correctional facilities choose steel because they know they can never go wrong with this reliable material.
