Security fences are a great addition to many different types of properties and for many different reasons. Absolutely anyone who would like to feel safer and more protected from the outside world can benefit from a security fence. However, there are certain circumstances and situations that commonly warrant the installation of a security fence. One prime example is when a property–be it residential or commercial–is located in a less than savoury area. You should check on the crime and vandalism rates in the area where your property is based and, if what you find alarms you, a security fence is a great idea!
If your business is left unattended overnight, a fence can detract those who are considering breaking into the property. If you run an establishment, such as a nightclub or a movie theatre, where people are likely to try sneaking in, a fence is a smart way to make sure no one gets a free ride! If you’ve had a break-in in the past, you should know that this makes you a target for future break-ins. Since people now know it is possible to get onto your property, others are likely to try their hand at it. Adding in a fence shows that you have taken control of the situation and are prepared not to let the same thing happen again.
When it comes to industrial and commercial establishments, preventing unauthorised access is necessary. This is where a security fence is absolutely necessary. It offers a highly secure and durable solution which can surround any area. A fence’s security depends on the material it’s made from, its height, and its thickness. However, even the tallest and thickest fence is poor security if no thought has been given to gates and locks. Your gates can be secured by a single lock or multiple ones.
Security fencing doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, and it more than pays for itself with the peace of mind and added sense of safety that it can bring you.
One of the most popular choices when it comes to security fencing is chain mesh fencing.
Some different areas where this type of fencing has been useful are:
- Construction sites
- Mining sites
- Around sporting fields
- Factories and industrial buildings
- Airports
- Warehouses
- Parking areas
- Schools
- Prisons
Chain mesh is known to be an excellent choice for medium to high security fencing. It is highly durable and very strong. As an added measure of security, you can also add security fence toppings such as razor tape to add to the fencing. This will help to discourage any unwanted intruders.
