Common applications

Where it is used.

Application

Industrial site security perimeters

Surround manufacturing plants, utility substations, and mechanical equipment areas where a defined barrier and finished appearance both matter. Choose security-grade pales and barbed-wire topping where climbing is a specific risk.

Application

Railway and transport corridors

Enclose rail yards, loading bays and transport depots with a fence that holds the same height and line along long runs. The shaped pale tops make the fence harder to climb.

Application

Commercial and institutional perimeters

Use palisade where the fence is part of how the site looks as well as how it is secured, such as business parks, public buildings and schools, with powder coating in the site's color.
