A layered security approach

Perimeter security is considered together with physical boundaries, controlled access, visibility, lighting and operating procedures. Panel or wire fencing can form the physical foundation of this structure.

Why are gates and access points critical?

Gates and access points are the most frequently used parts of a perimeter. Vehicle and pedestrian flow, locking, visibility and maintenance access should be planned with the fence line.

Place high-security products in the right context

Razor wire or high-security panels are not automatically right for every site. Access risk, human and animal safety, existing supports and facility operations should be reviewed together.

Frequently asked questions

Which products can be used for security fencing?

Panel fencing, heavy-duty panels, high-security panels, wire mesh, gates and complementary security products can be considered where site conditions allow.

Is high-security fencing always necessary?

No. Product level should be determined by risk, intended use, site and operating conditions.
