Electric fencing is nearly impossible to climb over thanks to its ability to deliver a painful shock to anyone who tries. This shock is also a strong deterrent for prospective intruders. Simply put, electrified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/major-events-use-security-fencing\/\" title=\"What major events use security fencing?\">fencing is a nearly-impenetrable for the vast majority<\/a> of potential intruders. But is electrified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/ctx-debut-for-pas-68-fencing-solution\/\" title=\"CTX debut for PAS 68 fencing solution\">fencing the right solution<\/a> for you? It is often seen as a somewhat extreme solution, so you may be hesitant to invest in it. We&#8217;ve created a guide that covers some of the things you should <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fencing-for-a-port\/\" title=\"Key points to consider when picking fencing for a port\">consider when deciding whether to purchase electrified fencing<\/a>. We hope this helps you reach a decision.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Required level of security<\/h2>\n<p>How secure does your <a title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\">fencing<\/a> need to be? If your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/perimeter-fencing-for-data-centre-security\/\" title=\"Why use perimeter fencing for data centres?\">perimeter fencing<\/a> needs to protect someone with a high public profile or something with a high monetary value, you clearly need to make it as secure as possible because it may have to repel determined criminals or dangerous individuals. If this is the case, we believe that electrified fencing may be appropriate. However, if your <a title=\"Do you really need fence toppings?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence-toppings-2\/\">fencing needs<\/a> to protect a small business or a local event, you\u2019re unlikely to attract particularly determined intruders. Therefore, you should use your skill and judgment to determine what level of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/choosing-security-fencing\/\" title=\"What to look for when choosing security fencing\">security you need and decide whether electrified fencing<\/a> is necessary based on your conclusions.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Location<\/h2>\n<p>Electrified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/temporary-fencing-for-local-event\/\" title=\"Why you should choose temporary fencing for your local event\">fencing is best suited to remote locales<\/a> and isolated sites. Electric <a title=\"Four ways fencing deters intruders\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/four-ways-fencing-deters-intruders\/\">fencing cannot differentiate between intruders<\/a> and people who accidentally stumble into it. It is therefore not appropriate for populated areas. If you <a title=\"Does your event need security fencing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/event-security-fencing\/\">need to protect an event<\/a> or site in a very public area, it may be wise to choose an alternate fencing option. However, if you <a title=\"Why even small sporting events need security fencing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/sporting-event-security\/\">need to protect a site or event<\/a> that is more isolated, it should be possible to deploy electric fencing safely. However, you should still take steps to make sure that none of the individuals meant to be on-site can <a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact\">contact<\/a> it accidentally.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Cost<\/h2>\n<p>Electric <a title=\"Security fencing is even more important than you might realise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/important-security-fencing\/\">fencing costs far less to run than you might<\/a> imagine. However, it isn\u2019t completely cost-free. Before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/secure-school-fencing\/\" title=\"4 reasons to invest in secure school fencing\">investing in electrified fencing<\/a>, you should consider whether you can cover the ongoing running costs. If you decide to <a title=\"Current economic climate \u2013 still invest in security fencing?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/invest-in-security-fencing\/\">invest in electric fencing<\/a> (or if you would like to know more about it), contact us.
