There are several things to consider when you are about to choose what type of steel security fencing to install on your property. Most people think of steel security fencing as being just some wire that is stretched between some poles encasing an area of property. In reality the materials used to construct the fence, the design of the fence, and the height of the fence are all dependent on what type of application it is being used for. The typical yard fence is only four foot in height, but a barrier made to protect something should be six to eight foot high.
Steel security fencing is obviously designed to keep something in or something out of an area. If the area is highly sensitive, or prone to vandalism and theft, then the fence will need to be constructed to be taller than average so it is harder for someone to get over the top of it. Of course around prisons and places like that they place razor wire above the steel security fencing so that no one can scale the barrier, but that would be a little extreme for the majority of fencing needs.
Steel security fencing that is designed to be on commercial property to stop people from being in areas that they could be injured should be constructed with steel mesh or bars that are spaced close enough together that children, and pets, cannot get their hands, feet, or heads, stuck between the bars. In order to make these barriers harder to climb the bars are often installed vertically with the spacing too close for a human foot to get between or too far apart for a human foot to get a hold.
Most of the enclosures that are constructed with this material will have sliding gates on them rather than the traditional swinging gates on hinges. The sliding gates are placed on steel security fencing because they are easier to secure than the swinging versions are. The ones that swing open and closed are held in place by hinges that are easy to remove, and that means that thieves can get in if they want to. Remember that a thief will work harder at stealing something than they would have to work to legitimately earn something.
Steel security fencing can be installed as an electric fence to help reduce the threat of someone breaking into the establishment. Electric fences will shock someone if they try to cut into them but they will not do permanent damage to the person. Electric fences are equipped in such a way that should the power to them become disabled they will continue to function at full capacity for approximately ten additional hours. This is generally plenty of time if the power is disrupted by a normal power outage.
This material is strong and the enclosures designed from it do not have to look ugly or like institutional fencing. You can buy very attractive components and panels to use when you create your enclosure.
Steel security fencing is not necessarily unattractive to the eye. Most of the steel security fencing is designed taller than the average fence, and they are built to be stronger than the average fence.
