With small holes,Chain link fence can prevent any intruders from being able to climb up the fence. It can be fixed to metal or concrete posts and is very flexible, which makes it an easy way to delineate boundaries and provide security. In fact, you'll often see it used around sports pitches or courts. To help the fence blend into its surroundings, you can get it galvanized or plastic coated. You can also add barbed wire on top to make it even more secure.

Palisade security fence cost per meter

Palisade is the most expensive option out of the three, but it also offers the most security. It consists of  vertical steel bars that offer no support for intruders to climb up. It’s also easy to install and fairly attractive, as it comes in a range of finishes and colours. You can get hold of palisade security fencing in either a ‘D’ or ‘W’ profile. The ‘W’ is the more secure of the two as it has sharp edges that are uncomfortable to hold. To make your palisade fencing even more secure, you could add pointed spikes to the top of each vertical bar, or simply top it with barbed or razor wire.

Additional security fence costs

To make any of these security fence types more secure, you can add additional anti climb fence toppers such as barbed wire, razor spikes or electric pulse fencing. You can expect to pay around £3.25 per meter for barbed wire fencing, as well as an installation cost of around £187.50 for the whole project. Just watch out because by law, your barbed wire mustn't cause danger to people or animals. It’s also advisable to put up signs to warn people it’s there so that you can avoid being held liable if someone hurts themselves climbing it.

While the type of fence you choose and its length are usually set costs, delivery and installation charges can vary depending on access, the lay of the land and its condition. For example, a remote site with undulating boundary lines that are either overgrown or on infirm ground will prove more expensive to deliver to. It will also create additional challenges, and costs, during installation.
