Fence toppings may not be the foundation of most security systems, but they are often essential, nonetheless. They increase the height of security fencing and make it more difficult to climb, thereby deterring or stopping many would-be intruders. However, not all fence toppings are the same. As we\u2019ve mentioned in previous blog entries, some are understated and stylish: they simply create an overhang that makes a fence<\/a> harder to scale. Others are more imposing and incorporate spikes or barbs that can actually harm intruders.<\/p>\n

There are three factors you should take into consideration when deciding whether it\u2019s time to replace or change for new fence<\/a> toppings.<\/p>\n

1. Your brand<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s important that your business\u2019s site<\/a> or premises reflects your brand. If you are currently using very imposing toppings but you are trying to build an approachable, friendly brand, for example, it may be time to change them. Conversely, if you are cultivating a brand identity that evokes seriousness and efficiency, you may wish to choose more forbidding and stern-looking fence toppings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Your security requirements<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s worth asking yourself if your current fence is a good fit for your changing security needs<\/a>. If your business has been targeted by criminals several times and you have fairly mild, understated-looking fence toppings<\/a>, you may wish to invest in harsher toppings that can act as more effective deterrents and actually harm intruders who try to get past them. In contrast, if your business has never been the target of criminal activity but you\u2019re using spiked<\/a> or barbed<\/a> fence toppings, you may not need them. They could be replaced with toppings that reflect your brand more effectively.<\/p>\n

3. Wear-and-tear<\/h3>\n

Like any other security measure<\/a>, maintanance is key, if not properly maintained, they will probably need to be replaced eventually, items such as litter, carrier bags etc, can often get caught in the toppings and if not removed may cause a security issue for you and create a vulneability in the fenceline. If your security enhancements<\/a> are in a state of disrepair, you should replace them immediately.<\/p>\n
