Fence Materials For High Security Applications
Chain Link Fencing
Chain link fencing is a classic option for perimeter security. It is cost effective, easy to install and repair, and can be outfitted with additional security features such as anti-climb wire, barbed wire, and reinforced cable systems.
Ornamental Steel & Aluminum Fencing
More durable than chain link, ornamental fencing is the most popular style of security fencing. Their construction makes them difficult to climb, and can be fashioned with spear topped & curve topped pickets, among other security enhancing elements. Ornamental fencing is also the style of fence typically used to achieve crash ratings.
Gates, Barriers, and Access Control
Your perimeter is only as strong as its weakest point, which is almost always at a point of entry. At Hurricane Fence Co., we specialize in both manual and automated entry systems, including:
Swing Gates: Swing gates offer a classic and efficient high-security entrance solution, ideal for areas where space permits the gate to fully open inward or outward. They are customizable to match various security levels and aesthetic preferences.
Slide Gates: Slide gates are perfect for properties with limited space, gliding parallel to the fence line to provide robust security without compromising on functionality or ease of use.
Cantilever Slide Gates: Utilizing a counterbalance system, cantilever slide gates offer a smooth and stable operation without the need for a ground track, making them suitable for snowy or uneven terrains.
Vertical Pivot Gates: Vertical pivot gates lift and lower in a unique pivoting motion, making them an excellent choice for sites where a traditional sliding or swinging gate is not feasible due to limited space.
Vertical Lift Gates: These gates move straight up and down, providing a high-security solution that maximizes space efficiency and is ideal for urban environments or areas with high vehicle traffic.
Bi-Folding Gates: Bi-folding gates are a fast-operating solution for secure entry points, folding in on themselves to allow quick access while maintaining a high level of security.
Barrier Arm Systems: Barrier arm systems provide a rapid-response solution to control vehicle access, ideal for commercial and industrial settings where speed and efficiency are paramount.
Jersey Barriers: Jersey barriers offer a robust and flexible solution for perimeter security, effectively guiding traffic and providing a strong deterrent against vehicle intrusion.
Turnstiles: Turnstiles offer controlled access for pedestrians, ensuring secure entry and exit points while enabling efficient traffic flow in various settings, from commercial buildings to public transport hubs.
Wedge Barriers: Wedge barriers provide an imposing obstacle to unauthorized vehicle access, rising swiftly from the ground to stop even high-speed vehicles effectively while remaining flush with the roads surface when closed.
Bollards: Bollards serve as a versatile security feature, capable of protecting pedestrians from vehicles while also securing perimeters against unauthorized vehicle breaches.
As the first fence company in the state with its own gate operator division, our specialized project managers are here to make sure your access points are secure.
Integrated Security Features
Anti-climb Wire & Mesh: Anti-climb wire and mesh are critical for deterring intruders, designed to prevent scaling and ensuring additional security for fences and barriers.
Spear Topped Pickets: Offering both aesthetic appeal and effective deterrence, spear-topped pickets prevent climbing and unauthorized access, combining form with function in fence design.
Curve Topped Pickets: Curve topped pickets add a stylish yet intimidating barrier to any property, deterring climbers with their curved design while enhancing the property's visual appeal.
Barbed Wire: A time-tested security feature, barbed wire is an economical and effective deterrent against unauthorized access, easily installed atop fences or walls.
Razor Wire: Razor wire provides a more aggressive security solution than traditional barbed wire, designed to be even sharper than barbed wire.
Concertina Wire: Concertina wire, with its coiled design, presents a formidable barrier that is difficult to cut or climb, offering superior protection for high-security areas.
Crash Rated Fence, Gate & Barrier Solutions
For certain high risk project sites, such as military installations, data centers, and solar farms, you may be required to use crash rated materials to secure your perimeter.
Crash ratings denote how well fencing, gates, and other barriers will withstand a head-on attack by vehicle. The two most prevalent crash ratings in use today are K ratings, established and awarded by the DOS/DOD, and the more modern M ratings, established and awarded by The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM).
Although the Modern M ratings from the ASTM have become the industry standard, K & M ratings are often used interchangeably, understandably so considering their many similarities.
