Security fencing only works if the specification matches what you are protecting against. Searching for security fencing near you should get you someone who will come and look at the site — which is exactly how Ben works across South Wales.
The first question is always what the fence is actually for. Keeping opportunists out of a yard is a different specification to protecting plant and stock from a determined attempt. Height, pale or mesh gauge, the top detail, whether fixings need to be tamper-resistant, and how the gates are hung all follow from that answer — and getting it wrong in either direction costs you, either in security or in money spent on spec you did not need.
Steel palisade gives a heavy, obvious deterrent and is very hard to climb. Welded mesh, including the 358 "prison mesh" pattern, resists cutting, offers almost no foothold and keeps CCTV sightlines clear through the fence. Anti-climb tops and toppings can be added where the risk sits at height. Each has a job, and the survey decides which.
The part that fails first on a poorly built security fence is never the panel — it is the foundation and the gate. Posts concreted to the right depth for the height and wind load, and gates hung on posts sized for the weight and the daily use they take, are what make the difference between a perimeter that holds and one that is defeated at its weakest point.
It depends on the threat and the site. Palisade for a hard visual deterrent, welded mesh where cut-resistance and CCTV visibility matter, anti-climb detailing where the risk is someone going over the top. Ben surveys the site and specifies to what you are actually protecting.
Commonly 2m to 3m for commercial perimeters, set by the deterrence level required and any planning constraints. Height alone is not security though — the pale or mesh gauge, the top detail and the foundations matter just as much as the number.
Always. Security fencing cannot be honestly priced from a map or a phone call. Ben attends site, walks the run, checks the ground and access, confirms the specification, and issues a written itemised fixed price. The survey is free.
