Like the name suggests, the simplest definition of what security fencing is, stating that it is fencing a piece of property to increase security. Security fencing is not the typical home fencing. It mostly involves industrial areas, schools and business premises that need to protect their property and their clients’ from invasion. When a business wants to protect its open areas, storage facilities or the parking lot for example, most business owners thing about installing chain fences.
While chain link fencing sends out the message, private property, they are not really safe security fences. Even when they are equipped with razor wires, barbed wires and may be even an intrusion alarm system, they are still not an ideal security fencing material. In fact, security alarm systems that are attached to the chain fence may give a false sense of security because they can be triggered by anything from animals, the wind to road vibrations. When the alarm is actually triggered by an intruder, by the time authorities respond, the intruders have already left the premises.
