A fence is more than just a boundary; it is your property’s first line of defence. Whether you are protecting expensive equipment on a commercial premise or personal valuables in your home, you need a fencing solution that offers uncompromised strength and protection. Palisade fencing has become the industry standard for security, engineered to eliminate the weaknesses found in traditional fencing and other materials.
What is Palisade Fencing?
Palisade fencing is a high-security, durable system designed to deter intruders and keep your property secure.
Its main component comprises vertical pales attached to the horizontal rails. The vertical pales are strategically placed, ensuring each gap between the pales is narrow enough to prevent an intruder from squeezing through or gaining a foothold, but wide enough to comply with WA’s fencing regulations and maintain a clear line of sight for security cameras. The horizontal rails provide essential support, keeping the vertical pales rigid and preventing the fence from being pried apart or pushed down.
Key Benefits
Deterrence
Spiked tops are a distinctive feature of palisade fences, creating a visual and physical deterrence. The intimidating design signals that the property is well-secured and climbing will be difficult and dangerous. The absence of footholds and handholds on the pales also makes the fence impossible to scale, discouraging intrusion attempts before they even begin.
Durability
Palisade fencing is one of the most durable fencing solutions, made to last for decades. From the extreme UV rays of the summer sun to the corrosive air of coastal suburbs, fences built in Western Australia face a unique set of environmental challenges. Palisade fences are not only coated to be weather-resistant and rust-resistant, but also designed to absorb large impacts with tamper-resistant fixings.
Low Maintenance
Because of its durability, palisade fences require minimal maintenance. Unlike other materials that are susceptible to rot and paint chips, palisade fencing is designed to resist damage and remain structurally sound. To keep it looking brand new, palisade fences only need an occasional hose down to remove any dirt or debris.
Customisation
Traditional fencing often struggles with uneven ground or specific architectural demands. Palisade fencing is a highly customisable solution that can be tailored to meet specific requirements and site challenges. You can tailor the level of deterrence by selecting specific head styles, from splayed spikes to rounded tops. This adaptability extends to a wide range of powder-coated colours that complement your property’s existing aesthetic.
Why Professional Fittings Matter
Your palisade fence installation is as important as your fence itself. If the installation process is flawed, your palisade fence can be susceptible to leaning, sagging, and easily breachable ‘crawl spaces’. By leaving it to the experts, you ensure that every fence pale is precisely aligned and set in deep footings to prevent the fence from being pushed over or uprooted.
