When residential complexes need to be secured against unwanted intruders, choosing a high-security fence is a great option. Durable anti-climb fencing can keep trespassers at bay and protect your staff and residents from potential harm. While the security of the fence itself is a major factor in which fence is right for a residential complex, other important considerations need to be taken into account to ensure the best fit for your property.
The Look Matters
For residential complexes, looks matter. While high-security prisons and government installations can simply have the most secure fence regardless of aesthetics, a residential complex needs to look both safe and inviting—striking that balance can be difficult. One of the best options that doesn’t sacrifice curb appeal is ornamental steel fencing. The impasse line of fencing comes in a few different styles such as gauntlet, trident, and stronghold. These fences can be installed as-is, or they can have masonry posts that elevate their look without harming their ability to keep your complex secure.
It Needs to Be Secure
Ornamental fencing sounds like it can’t really stand up to other options as a high-security fence, but that is not true. Ornamental fencing is built to be highly durable, and it can accommodate any level of crash rating from k-4 to k-12. Ornamental fencing is also a type of anti-climb fence built with the goal of protecting any perimeter from unwanted trespassing. The high-visibility of this fence is also a security feature—if a potential intruder can easily be spotted, they are less likely to attempt to scale the fence. The design of ornamental fencing slows down their progress, giving those on the property time to react before they are able to make it over.
Install an Automatic Gate
A high-security fence doesn’t do much for residential complexes that have an opening where a gate should be. If it’s easy for people to simply walk or drive onto your property, then the fence is a moot point that only exists to outline the perimeter. Having a high-security automatic gate installed will make your property much more secure, requiring appropriate identification to enter the property and making sure there is an anti-climb, crash-rated fence at the entrance to your complex as well as surrounding it.
