Choosing perimeter fencing

No. It's an energised pulse-wire layer fitted to an existing physical fence — palisade, 358 mesh, or its own dedicated wire frame. It adds a non-lethal shock deterrent and an alarm on contact, cutting or shorting, but the physical fence underneath still has to be specified separately.

Perimeter Intrusion Detection System — sensor cable (vibration or fibre-optic) fixed along an existing fence, wired to a control panel that raises a zoned alarm on a climb or cut attempt. It's standard on substations, ports, depots and data centres — anywhere a breach has to be known immediately rather than found on the next patrol.

Yes. The Razor & Barbed Wire range is the coil itself; Fence Toppings & Security Arms is the V-arm or Y-arm bracket hardware that holds it above the fence post. They're sold as separate lines because a job can need different quantities of each — send both quantities together to avoid ending up with one but not the other.

Perimeter security gates are the permanent vehicle or pedestrian access — swing, sliding or motorised cantilever — for a finished security boundary, with infill matched to the fence either side. The swing and sliding gates on the Site Hoarding page are temporary, for an active construction plot rather than a permanent perimeter. If you need to control one pedestrian at a time through a fixed point, that is a turnstile, and those are on the IT & Security Systems page with the access control that releases them.

GI sheet is the standard, lowest-cost solid boundary for yards and labour camps. Sandwich panel costs more but adds real sound and heat insulation and a clean painted finish, which matters next to a residential boundary. Precast concrete costs the most to install (it needs crane or forklift access) but needs no maintenance at all and is the right choice only where the boundary is genuinely permanent — it is not practically relocatable afterwards.

It is welded mesh with a 76.2 x 12.7 mm aperture in 4.0 mm wire, named from its imperial dimensions — 3 inch by 0.5 inch by 8 gauge. The aperture is too small for fingers or a boot toe and too tight for standard bolt cutters to reach the wire square-on, so it delays climbing and cutting rather than preventing entry outright.

Not standard galvanising on its own. For high-security mesh near the sea, specify Galfan wire with a 250 micron organic polymer coating. For general boundaries, PVC-coated chain link in RAL 6005.

Line posts at 3.0 m centres, and straining or corner posts at roughly 30 m and at every change of direction. A 100 m straight run takes about 34 line posts and 4 straining posts, plus four 25 m rolls of fabric.

The trade name for sand and animal boundary fencing — strained horizontal wires on posts rather than mesh, which is what makes it economical across the tens of kilometres a highway or rail corridor needs. It is sold per linear metre as a wire-and-post system. We do not publish a height for it because no UAE authority publishes one; we build to the project specification.

Yes. Line posts, straining and corner posts, line wire, stretcher bars, clamps and fixings are all listed with their dimensions. Tell us the run length and the height and we will work out the schedule with the fence.
