Duo8 perimeter fencing is a great choice and ideal for use on farms. But what specific benefits does it bring?

High visibility

Security fencing for farms is only any good if people can see it! This is because most would-be intruders are put off by the visual deterrent fencing offers. Duo8 security fencing is designed to be easily seen from a distance and deliver a firm visual message to criminals to stay out. Unfortunately, the closed mesh design also makes it look hard to scale (which it is!), and this will also put most people off from even trying to get past it.

Robust and tough

Next to being easy to see, any farm fencing needs to be tough. This is important so intruders cannot breach it easily or cut their way through without needing some heavy-duty tools. Robust fencing is also essential for farmers as it needs to stand up to possibly having animals inside it and being out in all weathers. Duo8 fencing can handle all this and is created to be a super-strong security solution.

It comes with the option of gate installation.

Duo8 fencing also comes with the option of single leaf mesh gate installation for easy access to fields, yards or outbuildings. For farmers, this is very useful and means they can access what is inside the fencing with no hassle. However, vehicle access is often needed for fields, and the double-leaf gates which Duo8 can handle allow this. Both gates are made to the same mesh design and offer the same tough features as the fencing itself.

Taking steps to protect their farm is something that everyone in the agriculture sector needs to think about. Rural crime can be a problem like that in urban areas – particularly with expensive machinery or tools at stake.

1. Security

Mesh fencing is commonly used as a perimeter wall or security fence. It can offer security purposes to residential, industrial or commercial properties. Mesh is also a popular choice for securing homes, however, this is often combined with a form of fencing that is generally considered more aesthetic. For increased security, some people choose a type of mesh fencing that prevents finger holds or tools being able to cut through, due to the extremely small openings.

2. Public Parks

As mesh fences can be installed in various different colours, some people enjoy the look of it in their local parks. For those who are passionate about plants, a mesh fence is a good alternative to wires for plants that climb, as they can easily take the weight without having to be regularly repaired, unlike the alternative.

3. Animals

Mesh fencing is a popular choice for fencing in animals, no matter what they are. As it’s possible to purchase the fence with different sizes of holes, it can accommodate any form or size of the animal. Some of the most common options are horse fencing, rabbit fencing and chicken coops. It is also an extremely safe option for animals, due to the lack of sharp edges.

4. Highways and railways

One of the main industrial uses of mesh fencing is on highways and railways for security purposes. They are extremely beneficial for preventing damage of the tracks, and also to prohibit animals from crossing over dangerous areas.

Railings come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and styles, so whatever your individual requirements maybe, you’re sure to find a suitable solution. In the following sections, we’ll explore some of the options that have been designed for both strength and appearance.

Estate railings

Ideal for expansive estates, these traditional but tough railings are exceptional for creating boundaries without spoiling the scenery. The rounded hollow railing system used has been designed for strength and rigidity and is hardwearing when exposed to the elements. While railings can be shipped with a galvanised metal finish, users can also select the RAL colour they require. One metre tall in height as standard, these handsome solutions can also be constructed in different dimensions.

Bow top railings

Designed for urban locations, this attractive railing option is also affordable and a favourite of inner-city parks, playgrounds, and residential areas. Enhanced production techniques allow them to be created quickly and cost-effectively, resulting in far shorter lead times than other types of railings. Powder-coated rather than painted, these railings are well protected from rust and other kinds of corrosion, ensuring they always stay well presented with a minimal amount of maintenance.

Holloway railings

Finally, Holloway railings use strong steel to make hardy barriers. While the lower part of the railing features traditional bars, the upper area features a decorative metalwork design. There are a variety of different patterns available to suit individual tastes. This type of railing system can be easily adapted with gates for both vehicles and pedestrians.

But what is it exactly, and why is it so hard to get over?

What is HiSec 358 security fencing?

In simple terms, it is a tough and robust style of perimeter fencing which is ideal for a wide range of sites. The 358 in the title refers to the fencing aperture and the wire gauge in old Imperial measurements. These measurements mean that the vertical wires are 76.2mm (3 inches) from centre to centre, while the horizontal ones are 12.7mm (or 0.5 inches) from centre to centre. The gauge used is 4mm and also known as Gauge 8.

Why is HiSec 358 considered anti-climb?

While no perimeter fencing can claim to be 100% impossible to scale, our HiSec 358 range does have excellent anti-climb properties. This makes it very tough for intruders to get over. Much of this is down to the design and measurements which are shown above.

The ‘358’ welded mesh design makes it difficult for intruders to get fingers into the fence apertures when trying to climb over it. Unless they have climbing aids, they will be doubtful to succeed.

Our HiSec 358 fencing also has other features which make it anti-climb, including the size of the panels available in heights of up to 7.2m high in a single panel, which will put most people off from trying to get over it. Our standard 358 fencing also has no climbing aids on the panels themselves (such as v-beams, which can be manufactured upon request), which people could use for assistance. There is also the option of adding additional security measures, such as cranked toppings, electric fencing and PIDs. This makes it even tougher to climb and breach for those up to no good. If you also remember to remove on-site climbing aids such as trees or lamp posts close to the fencing, it is tough for any intruder to scale the fence.

The post What makes HiSec 358 anti-climb? appeared first on Zaun Limited.

What kinds of wire mesh panels are available?

The first thing to consider is what kind of wire mesh fencing is best for your purposes.

Profile mesh fencing, which consists of ‘V’ beams crimped into the panel, is commonly used in schools, parks and other sites which require low-level security.

358/prison mesh fencing, with close-knit apertures, is used in security settings, including prisons and ports etc., also commonly called anti-climb mesh.

Twin-wire mesh fencing, featuring double wire horizontals, makes the fencing strong, ideal for sports pitches, MUGAs and perimeters not likely to sustain forcible attacks.

Double-layer mesh fencing (double skin 358), which combines two layers of mesh for even more security, is usually used on high-security sites such as data centres or prisons.

Check the quality of the steel.

When you’re investing in wire mesh fencing for security, it’s important to make sure that the steel used in the production of your chosen fencing is good quality, strong, and durable. In addition, steel wire should be traceable back to an ISO 9001:2015-accredited source, which means it meets contemporary standards for this kind of product.

It’s also important to find out when your chosen steel was galvanised because it will determine some key facts. For example, steel should be galvanised after welding so that the mesh’s protective zinc coating isn’t removed by the welding process. On the other hand, zinc alloy coated or pre-galv fencing can be galvanised before welding because of its higher aluminium content.

Choosing the diameter of your steel wire

The diameter of the steel wire which your mesh fencing is made up of will also affect the strength of your fencing. The diameter of the wire and the amount of wires generally affects the security level of the fence. The thicker the wire used in your mesh fencing, the stronger the fence will be; the more wires the fence has increased the delay to any miscreants.

But what are the major benefits it offers?

It is tough and strong.

Perhaps the key benefit which welded mesh fencing offers is how robust it is. This is an essential feature as it means the fencing is strong enough to keep intruders out. It also means that it will not degrade quickly, and you, therefore, spend less on maintaining or replacing it. This strength is beneficial and allows this type of fencing to deliver outstanding security to any site.

Suitable for many different applications

Another convenient feature that welded mesh perimeter fencing has is versatility. This type of fencing is suitable for pretty much any application you can think of! It is an ideal choice from schools to children’s playgrounds, businesses, industrial sites, airports, military bases, and more. This is not only down to the superb protection it offers and great value for money but also its ability to be outside in all weathers. So come wind, rain or snow; the welded mesh will perform as expected.

Weldmesh looks great.

While the security any fencing gives is important, it should also look great too. This will see a professional image presented to clients and make your site an attractive place to work. Welded mesh certainly hits the mark here and has bags of style. If you choose to go with additional components such as laser cut shapes or fence toppings, you can add even more visual appeal to it.

Structure

Welded mesh fencing has either rectangular or square spaces created by laying wires in a vertical and horizontal latticework. The wire intersections are then spot-welded, creating a sheet. Welded wire fencing is pretty simple to design compared to woven wire. Woven mesh fencing is made using a machine that loosely twists the wire into gentle spirals that overlap at the ends. Woven wire fencing has a distinct zigzag diamond shape.

Pros and cons

Know your legal responsibilities

Cheap metal fences are prone to corrosion, exposing sharp spikes when damaged. In addition, your business has a legal obligation to protect the general public from your activities. This includes keeping your fencing in good repair. You can learn more about health and safety regulations regarding various types of fencing on the HSE website.

Be safe rather than sorry.

Welded mesh fencing may be slightly more expensive but what it can save your business in personal injury claims is unquantifiable. It’s also extremely difficult for vandals and thieves to penetrate without specialist and cumbersome cutting equipment.

Durable, welded mesh steel fence panels specially coated for protection against the elements can last a lifetime with minimal maintenance.

Anti-vandal fencing

Many compensation claims due to damaged fencing are caused by vandalism and poor maintenance. The range of products available, including anti-climb, high-security mesh and welded mesh panels, provides the ultimate protection from such claims. However, we cannot impress enough the importance of professional installation and regular maintenance to derive the full benefit.

Aesthetics

High-security perimeter solutions don’t have to make commercial and industrial premises look like prisons. In some cases, they do because they act as a deterrent to vandals and thieves. However, you may be surprised to learn that these fencing products are also used in landscape gardening to create an attractive trellis effect. Panels made from stainless steel can also be used to create aesthetically pleasing features. In addition, there is virtually no limit to the configurations that can be chosen for that special look.

Premium-quality welded mesh fencing.

Choosing premium quality and competitively priced welded mesh fencing saves money over time. But, more importantly, it protects you from compensation claims that can make a huge hole in your budget.

Low maintenance and minimal impact

The fixings used to attach the mesh panels to the adjacent posts are steel and backed with anti-rattle rubber pads. This is why they’re an ideal choice for outdoor football pitches; should the ball ricochet off the perimeter, the resulting sound is minimal. Moreover, the stainless steel tamper-proof security bolt fixings mean only the strongest materials are used, so minimum maintenance is needed.

Strong and durable

The posts are manufactured from steel tubular sectioning and use threaded inserts to fix the steel mesh clips together. And should the fence be installed on a gradient, additional fixings are provided to aid the stepping of the panels where necessary. Over 1.5 million adults in the UK participate in small-sided football games each week, and this mesh fencing ensures protection for the venue, participants and spectators alike.

Dual purpose

Not only does mesh panel fencing offer maximum security, but it can also serve a purpose aesthetically. The fencing is made using galvanised material and is coated with polyester. It can be purchased in a range of colours, making it an attractive security option – an option that is robust, cost-effective and easy to install. The combination of maximum security with aesthetic appeal makes it a popular choice.

Visibility for spectators

While the mesh panels are strong and difficult to cut through, they still provide good viewing for spectators while providing resistance to climbing for vandals. The audience can still watch through the fence without interfering in the game and without fear of being hit by a stray ball.

Weather friendly

The lightweight design allows wind to pass through the panels; this reduces the chance of any damage due to stormy weather conditions or strong winds. Again, this results in very little maintenance following the initial installation.

Children

There could be several different reasons why you are throwing away rubbish. Some of that might be loose rubbish or dangerous equipment. However, keeping children away from it will be important as you don’t want them to get injured.

Animals

Animals are curious by nature, and there are three reasons you wouldn’t want them snooping around your bins. First, it can attract dangerous animals such as foxes to your premises. Second, the animals might get seriously injured, and there is also the chance that they will be incredibly messy. So you want to make sure animals stay away at all costs.

Vandals

Some will make a nuisance of themselves for the sake of it. Others will look for items they can sell on or look for information that might be sensitive. Having a deterrent to such people is important and will give your business the security it needs.

Bin Security – The solution

The best solution is to get bin storage cages. You will be able to lock away rubbish until it gets collected safely. You will be able to get a bespoke design that will suit your needs and make sure you can make the most of the space you have.

They can be made with a wide variety of different colours, or you can have the cage galvanized to give it protection from corrosion. They can also be fitted with mesh roofs, shelves and doors depending on your specific security needs, with additional security also possible.

Protecting your business

Mesh fencing is important for a wide number of reasons. Having your bins under high security is one of them, and at Zaun, we’ll be able to match your needs to come up with the perfect solution for you. We are the experts in all types of security fencing, and our bin security storage cages will help give you the peace of mind you need.
