Combining Razor Mesh and Electric Fencing for the Ultimate Barrier of Protection

When it comes to perimeter security for high-risk areas, such as commercial, industrial, and government sites, it is vital that the chosen fencing is as impenetrable as possible. As the leading manufacturer and supplier of fencing solutions, we at Chemvet Steel & Fencing understand the importance of protecting your assets without breaking the bank. Here, we explore the affordable option of combining razor mesh and electric fencing and offer a few suggestions for creating a formidable barrier of protection by using both.

Razor Mesh and Electric Fencing: Engineered for Security

To help you make an informed decision regarding razor mesh and electric fencing, the team at Chemvet Steel & Fencing highlights the advantages of both.

Razor-Sharp Defence

Constructed from high-tensile steel wire interwoven with sharp blades, razor mesh presents a significant challenge to potential intruders. Similar in design to diamond mesh fencing, the dimensions, combined with equidistantly placed razor blades, make it impossible to gain a foothold on the fence without risking serious injury. Its effectiveness lies in:

• Deterring Intruders – The intimidating appearance alone acts as a powerful deterrent, discouraging potential intruders.
• Physical Barrier – The sharp blades combined with the sturdy wire construction create a formidable physical barrier, making it difficult to climb or penetrate.
• Delay Tactics – Even if an intruder manages to breach the fence, the razor mesh will slow them down, providing valuable time for security personnel to respond.
• Psychological Impact – The visual impact can have a psychological effect on potential intruders, instilling fear and doubt.

Shock-Proof Protection

Unlike traditional fencing, which solely provides a physical barrier, electric fencing adds an invisible layer of protection. By delivering a high-voltage electrical pulse through multiple wires, it creates a powerful obstacle. When an intruder makes contact with the electrified wires, they receive a startling shock, immediately discouraging further intrusion. This significantly reduces the risk of breaches and property damage.

To enhance security further, these fencing systems can be integrated with alarm systems. If the fence is tampered with, such as being cut or climbed, the alarm system is activated, alerting security and providing valuable time to respond to potential threats.

Complete Fortified Protection

Now that we at Chemvet Steel & Fencing have covered the basics of both types of fencing, let’s explore how the two can be used together for complete fortified protection. When an existing boundary wall or fence is already installed, a wall-top electric fence can be mounted on top, adding an additional preventative layer of security.

Many high-risk commercial, industrial, and government sites prefer a fence line that provides ample visibility, such as palisade fencing. As effective as this barrier is, adding a layer of razor mesh on the inside and outside of the fence line, as well as wall-top electric fencing, will provide the most effective, reliable, durable, and cost-effective perimeter security. This can also be done with solid concrete walls, or you might consider a piggyback electric fence that is secured to the mesh fence from the ground up to above the top of the fence line.
