Firstly, you <a title=\"Does your event need security fencing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/event-security-fencing\/\">need to secure<\/a> the restricted area without impeding access to the rest of your site or premises. Secondly, you need to make sure your <a title=\"3 effective security measures for industrial businesses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/effective-security-measures\/\">security measures<\/a> are discreet to avoid drawing too much attention to the area from less trustworthy visitors and employees.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll give you some easy to follow <a title=\"5 tips on keeping your construction site secure\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/construction-site-security-fencing\/\">tips for securing a restricted area on your site<\/a> and overcoming these challenges.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose railings<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/perimeter-fencing\/\">Security fencing<\/a> is fantastic for protecting entire sites or premises. However, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/securing-your-building-site\/\" title=\"Safely securing your building site to protect children\">protecting a specific area on a site<\/a>, you should opt for something a little less imposing. This will help keep the restricted area discreet without drastically <a title=\"New Eurostar security fencing reduces disruption\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/eurostar-security-fencing\/\">reducing its level of security<\/a>. We suggest using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/decorative-railings\/\" title=\"Holloway Railings\">railings<\/a>. <a title=\"HiSec fencing on first phase of East West Rail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/rail-fencing\/\">Railings often blend in better than security fences<\/a> in environments that aren\u2019t heavily secured. However, they still block off access to specific areas very effectively.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Utilise pedestrian gates or turnstiles<\/h2>\n<p>If possible, you should consider making your restricted area <a title=\"Keeping your access gates secure\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/keeping-access-gates-secure\/\">accessible only through pedestrian gates<\/a> or turnstiles. Vehicular gates naturally require more room (which means that they can obstruct access to other parts of your site) and are less discreet. In contrast, <a title=\"Entrance Security \u2013 Boosting security\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/entrance-security\/\">secure pedestrian entrances<\/a> are both space-efficient and unobtrusive.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Provide clear routes around the restricted area<\/h2>\n<p>The easiest way to make sure your site feels accessible and that your restricted area goes unnoticed is to provide clear routes through your site. Simply signposting the way around the restricted area or creating a clearly delineated path will usually <a title=\"Keeping mental health units secure for patients, staff and visitors\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/secure-mental-health-units\/\">keep visitors<\/a> away from areas they\u2019re not meant to enter.<\/p>\n<p>By following these simple <a title=\"Simple tips for high-tech perimeters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/high-tech-perimeters\/\">tips<\/a>, you can secure a restricted area on your site without drawing attention to it or interfering with the way visitors access the rest of the site. At Zaun, we also have a range of other discreet <a title=\"Why you should source all your security measures from a single supplier\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/supplier-of-security-fencing\/\">security measures<\/a>, like CCTV cameras and small alarm systems, that you can use, so check out our products or get in touch with us today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Securing restricted areas, an entire site or premises often requires great care and meticulous planning.
