What is Palisade Fencing?

Palisade fencing is used in various locations to provide a strong physical barrier that consists of vertical steel pickets, typically with a pointed top acting as an anti-climb feature.

Available in various colours such as silver, green and black, these pickets are mounted onto horizontal rails and supported by steel posts.

Commonly found in and around industrial sites, utilities, and other premises that require a certain level of security, palisade fencing offers a robust deterrent against unauthorised access.

Security-rated fencing is essential for sites requiring verified protection levels. This could include CNI sites, utility sites, Government buildings and Data centres. Fencing certified to standards such as LPS provides tested resistance against intrusions using tools like bolt cutters and drills.

CLD’s range of LPS certified fencing offers delay against attack from 1 minute to 10 minutes, catering to a wide range of environments and site requirements. Most high-security sites and premises will need to comply with security regulations, which CLD can assist with during the consultation stage of your fencing design process.

Ideal for Sloped Terrain
Palisade fencing adjusts easily to steep gradients, thanks to its modular panel design.

Lower Installation Costs
With minimal ground burial required, palisade systems often reduce concrete and labour costs.

Durable & Strong
Made from robust steel, it offers high resistance to forced entry and physical impact.

Visual & Physical Deterrent
The spiked tops act as both a visual and physical barrier, deterring intruders effectively.

Customisable Options
Available in various heights, finishes, and lengths to suit different security needs.

Long-Lasting Protection
Galvanised and powder-coated finishes enhance resistance to rust and corrosion.

Unwelcoming Appearance
Its intimidating design may not suit environments where aesthetics and public perception matter.

Complex Installation
With numerous fixings required, installation can be time-consuming and labour-intensive.

Security Gaps
Wider gaps between pales can allow tools to be used discreetly for tampering or breach attempts.

Tampering Risks
Exposed bolts can be accessed and manipulated, potentially compromising security.

Visibility Issues
The design can obstruct sightlines, limiting surveillance in some applications.

Environmental Impact
Higher metal use compared to alternative systems makes it a less sustainable option.

The larger gaps between the pales can still allow for small animals to fit through. Whilst they still deter human access, animals can still cause damage to assets and disrupt operations. A better choice would be CLD’s Ultimate fencing, which is a welded mesh fencing system designed for high-security environments. An aesthetic solution that has no external fixings, making it difficult to climb. 

Ultimate features:

• A high-security welded mesh system designed for CNI sites.
• Offers resistance to climbing and cutting.

Determined intruders could find footholds between pales, or unauthorised access who use drills or chain saws may be able to gain access. In comparison, the gaps between CLD’s mesh wire fencing systems are much smaller and therefore are an anti-climb solution. The Dulok fencing range from CLD is a double wire mesh fence, and in turn, makes this fencing system very difficult to cut. Featuring sheardrive fixings and a full-length clamp bar, whilst remaining a cost-effective solution. 

Dulok features: 

• Twin-wire welded mesh system offering high security and anti-cut properties.
• Aesthetically pleasing and available in various colours and coatings.
• LPS certified options for security-rated sites.

• Security Requirements: Do you need certified security ratings?
• Site Environment: Coastal areas require corrosion-resistant coatings.
• Aesthetics: Will the fencing blend with the surroundings or appear too unnatural?
• Budget: Factor in installation and maintenance costs.
• Access Control Integration: Can the fencing support gates and security systems?
