perimeter security fencing - Palisade
Security Steel Palisade fencing is an effective type of perimeter security fencing that is often utilized in various applications across Cardiff. Palisade fencing consists of robust vertical steel pales secured to horizontal rails, forming panels mounted on steel RSJ support posts. This fencing solution is popular for its high security and vandal resistance. It is designed to be difficult to cut and climb, thanks to the high-strength materials and lack of footholds, making it an ideal choice for those seeking quality fencing solutions to keep intruders out.
The steel pales of palisade fencing can come in D-section, W-section for enhanced security, or other sections available on request. The thickness of the pales depends on the height of the fence, while the pale head styles offer options such as rounded, rounded and notched, single-spiked, or splayed triple-spiked. Standard fixings for palisade fencing include galvanized steel bolts with tamper-resistant shear nuts, or stainless steel rivets for added security.
Why choose palisade fencing? One of the benefits of palisade over other types of fencing is the ease of adding extra security measures. Options include barbed wire, razor wire, rotating toppings, monitored electric pulse fencing, concrete sills, and buried pales. The gaps between the pales allow for visibility, which is beneficial for CCTV monitoring or for security personnel, assuming the angle of incidence is not too steep.
