Security Fences: Height and Scalability

While a security fence isn’t going to stop someone who is determined to cause you harm, you do have the ability to protect yourself from being an easy target for an intruder. The higher your fence is, the more difficult it will be for someone to have to climb over it to get in and out.

Crash-Rated Gates

So how do you find a happy medium to keep intruders out and keep your authorized persons safe inside? Investing in a crash-rated gate from Hercules High Security is an excellent option.

What are Crash-Rated Gates?

Crash-rated gates are your solution to providing a safe and secure way in and out of your facility without leaving a weak point in your perimeter. They are made specifically to keep those without authorization from entering on foot, so intruders without clearance will no longer be on your list of concerns. In addition, and most importantly, crash-rated gates are specially designed to keep out vehicles and be able to hold up to impact should one crash into your perimeter. Depending on the K rating of your crash-rated gate, it may be able to stop vehicles traveling up to 50 miles per hour.
