Electric Fencing

When it comes to the safety of loved ones, protecting your property, and guarding acquired assets, you need to invest in a security fence that provides your home or business with ample perimeter protection. As the leading steel and fencing manufacturers, we at Chemvet Steel & Fencing offer a wide range of fencing solutions – your first line of defence against criminals.

 

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Security Fence 

Certain factors need to be considered before installing a security fence, including the property that needs to be secured and whether the fencing is going to be used as a deterrent, as a barrier, or for concealment. You also need to identify safety risks and assess possible threats as all these factors and more have a direct bearing on the type of security fence you select.

Below, we are going to touch on a few considerations before introducing you to our effective barriers of protection.

  • Privacy – as much as you want your privacy, a security fence that provides little to zero visibility is a problem. You need to be able to spot a threat before they see you so that you have ample time to sound the alarm.
  • Maintenance – select a fence that will not only remain rigid but that is also made from durable, anti-corrosive materials such as steel, thereby lowering the need for maintenance.
  • Budget – unfortunately, cost always plays a part, so think carefully about how long your fence line needs to be, as well as the materials and installation costs.
  • Landscape – shrubs, trees, and bushes can hinder the installation of a durable fence, so you may need to think a bit creatively to avoid uprooting your flora.
  • Security – the reason why you are investing in a fence in the first place is for security. If you live or own a business in an area that has an above-average crime rate, you need to look at installing high-security fencing that is strong enough to withstand excessive force.

Impenetrable Fencing Solutions

Let our experts in impenetrable fencing offer guidance on our range of security fencing, ensuring your property’s protection and giving you peace of mind.

 

Electric Fencing

  • Free-Standing – these permanent fences offer effective protection, especially when a high-security option is required. Self-standing, they are often installed in conjunction with other secure fence lines.
  • Wall-Top – this electric fence is usually attached to the top of an existing barrier, such as a masonry wall.
  • Piggyback – these fences are designed to add a further layer of protection to an existing supporting perimeter fence, such as palisade fencing.

 

Non-Electric Fence Options

  • Palisade – aesthetically pleasing, this is ideal if you are looking for a durable security fence with high visibility in a residential or commercial area.
  • Diamond and Welded Mesh – these medium security barriers provide adequate parameter protection and are often found in the agricultural sector. On a diamond mesh fence, you can optimise your protection by adding flat or concertina razor wire.
  • Razor Wire – this high-security fencing option is used to secure industrial, commercial, and government sites. Standard tools and criminals stand no chance against the sharp barbs placed at regular intervals along the wires.
