FEATURES OF GOOD PERIMETER FENCE DESIGN
When planning your perimeter fencing you need to think carefully about the design and the materials you choose. Start by ranking the most important functions your perimeter fence needs to fulfil.
Is your new perimeter fence to keep people out, prevent crime, enhance your property’s visual appeal, or for animal control?
It’s also important to weigh up the various advantages and disadvantages of different fence materials to find the right perimeter fence for your needs.
For example, coils of razor wire along the top of your perimeter fence will meet your business’ security needs but may not match the friendly brand image you want for your company.
Likewise, a solid wall may prevent unlawful entry but will encourage graffiti, provide hiding places for intruders, and restrict visual security.
A good perimeter fence will be:
• Difficult to climb—this is an important aspect of security but modern materials and design make this easy to achieve.
• Resistant to Graffiti –some materials are much easier to tag than others.
• Extremely tough—some materials are considerably harder to cut or push over in ram raids.
• Challenging for intruders to hide behind with good visual surveillance lines along the entire fence line.
• Attractive—visually attractive perimeter fencing creates positive impressions in visitors and customers, and will enhance property values. Good design can also promote employee morale.
• Durable—fencing can be an expensive item on any budget so you need to know your fence will last the distance.
