Security fencing as fitted

Real fences, photographed where they stand: palisade and mesh.

**Mesh.** Mesh panels on a low concrete baseCoated mesh with bent tops on a concrete plinth, along a slope.

**Mesh.** Welded mesh fence panels and a gateWelded mesh panels on posts: you can see through it, and so can the cameras.

**Palisade.** Steel palisade fence along a fieldPointed pales on rails, running the length of the boundary.

What V mesh is, and isn't

The folds (the V) run along the panel and make it stiff without heavy wire. It looks neat, it's quick to fit and it's the cheapest of the mesh fences.

It's not the strongest: on an industrial or high-security site, 656 or 868 twin wire mesh, or palisade, is the better fence. A V mesh panel bolts to the post with clips or clamp bars.
