Perimeter&#;s top tips

With numerous fencing options available on the market, choosing the right anti-climb solution can be a daunting task and, depending on your needs, may require professional advice. Here we provide some useful tips to guide your thinking:

Determine your security needs

Before investing in any type of fencing, fully assess your security requirements. Consider the level of security you need based on the location, the value of the assets in the grounds and the potential threats. This will help determine the appropriate height, material and design of the fencing system.

Acting as a deterrent against intruders, it can help to prevent theft, trespass or access to your premises and signals you take security seriously.

Quality

To ensure top-quality and durable fencing, it is important to use products from reputable manufacturers. Select products which carry accredited British Standards (BS) testing certification and have a well proven track-record. Our team is able to provide extensive product advice and recommendations. It&#;s worth bearing in mind that some building insurance providers take fencing into consideration when calculating annual premiums; often offering reductions relative to high-grade security measures.

The stronger the better

Anti-climb fences are available in various materials, including steel, aluminium, and mesh. Each material offers different levels of strength, durability and aesthetics. Consider your specific requirements and budget while evaluating the material options. Steel, for instance, is highly robust and provides excellent resistance against forced entry. Perimeter Solutions supplies and installs A1 (SR1), B3 (SR2), C5 (SR3), and D10 (SR4) security fencing, please call us for more details about each of these options.

The higher the better

Tall fences offer an immediate visual deterrence and obviously make it harder for intruders to climb over. Check with local regulations to ensure compliance with any height restrictions imposed by authorities in your area. Perimeter Solutions has extensive experience of working with borough councils and can advise on regional preferences and whether the submission of a planning application will be required.

The smaller the better

Mesh is a great inhibitor; the smaller the openings the more secure it becomes preventing individuals from gaining a foothold, cutting through or getting a grip to climb over.

Tamper-proof

Choose a fencing system that incorporates anti-tamper features, such as concealed fixings and hidden brackets. These elements make it extremely difficult for intruders to dismantle or manipulate the fence, enhancing its overall security.

Looks count

While security is a priority, aesthetics also plays a role, especially for residential properties. Look for anti-climb fencing options that offer a balance between security and visual appeal. Some manufacturers offer a variety of colours and finishes to match your property&#;s exterior design. We are always happy to run through all the design options to balance priorities and sensibilities.

Seek professional advice

As you&#;d expect, we recommend consulting a security professional or reputable fencing contractor. Perimeter Solutions can assess your specific needs and provide expert guidance on the most suitable options. Choose a supplier based on personal recommendations and, where possible, inspect their work at other sites. We&#;re happy to showcase ours whenever it&#;s convenient.

Top Tips for Choosing the Right Security Fencing

In this guide to selecting security fencing, we are setting out to help you find the right balance between practical needs, visual appearance and cost.

Step 1: Ascertain the objectives for your security fencing

A security risk assessment and survey of the surrounding environment will reveal the strength of security fencing required and any aesthetic needs. Crime rates in the local area, night time lighting and location all have a bearing on security fencing choice.

If your premises are located in a residential area for example, then you&#;re going to need security fencing that takes the potential for trespassing and vandalism into account, whilst also blending into the local surroundings. Visual appeal won&#;t be important on an industrial park, but such areas may be more prone to break-ins given the often isolated location.

Step 2: Work out which areas of the site need fencing, and what type

The perimeter of your property will generally require security fencing such as vertical bar or welded mesh fencing. But it is important to identify any other areas that need fencing, and how you will deal with access. If your premises are located on an industrial estate or business park for example, the fencing will need to allow straightforward access during the day, and then provide adequate security at night. It&#;s therefore important to give consideration to access control and gates at this stage too, and how these will fit in with your chosen fencing.

You may also need high security fencing around the likes of machinery, waste units and storage areas, whilst other low risk zones may simply need non-security alternatives such as timber fencing, simply for demarcation or boundary identification purposes.

For low risk levels, timber fencing or ornamental metal railings are usually sufficient. For medium risk, V-mesh and vertical bar fencing make good choices, and where there is a high security risk, welded mesh with reinforced tubular vertical bars will provide a greater level of protection.

Step 3: Privacy or visibility?

Because security fencing needs to work in tandem with other security measures such as CCTV, it is important to consider whether the type of fencing will create blind spots. Solid panel fencing, whilst providing privacy for the premises, may present this issue. There are various options that offer privacy whilst working well with CCTV, such as V-mesh, and prison mesh which is a closer knit mesh with good anti-climb qualities.

If you are looking to prevent noise from your premises affecting the local surroundings, acoustic barriers are a good choice. Apart from ensuring minimal noise pollution, they also offer excellent privacy and high security performance. What&#;s more, with their flat profile, they are naturally anti-climb.

Step 4: Any additional security toppings required?

Security toppings can boost the level of security provided by your choice of fencing. For premises located in higher risk areas, as well as those situated alongside natural climbing aids such as lampposts, walls and trees, a security topping can prove beneficial.

Fence toppings act as both physical and visual deterrents, safeguarding against vandalism and intrusion. Examples include barbed wire, steel spikes and rotary systems for fencing, walls and drainpipes.

It is important to be aware that the installation of certain fence toppings may be subject to compliance with regulations. Fence spikes for example will need to be above two metres and out of reach of the general public. You will also need to display warning signs that can be easily seen by anyone approaching a protected boundary. If spikes have been installed along a wall or fence, then the signage should appear at least every three metres.

Depending on the surrounding environment, you may be better opting for anti-climb fencing, if the likes of fence spikes may come across as visually unappealing.

Step 5: Consider finish and durability

Whatever type of security fencing you choose, it is wise to invest in a solution that will serve you well into the future, and that will not be costly to maintain.

Opting for a polyester powder coated finish rather than traditional paint will mean greater longevity for your fencing. Galvanised or alloy-coated steel fencing will not be prone to rust or corrosion and will provide long term durability.
