Detention-grade and anti-climb perimeter systems to 16 ft: tight mesh, reinforced framework, security toppings, and construction with zero gaps.
Commercial fencing slows people down. This is built to stop them.
High-security fencing is a different specification: heavier fabric, tighter mesh that gives no handhold and no cutting purchase, reinforced posts and framework, and heights to 16 ft with security toppings.
The construction detail matters as much as the material: no gaps at grade, no climb aids at posts or corners, tunneling barriers below grade where the threat requires, and a fence line built ready for detection, lighting, and camera integration.
They look similar from the road. They are not the same product.
| High-security system | Standard commercial fence | |
|---|---|---|
| Mesh | Tight anti-climb, no handhold or tool purchase | Standard 2 in. mesh, climbable |
| Height | 10 to 16 ft, per the standard | Typically 6 to 8 ft |
| Framework | Reinforced posts, rails, and bracing | Standard schedule pipe |
| Toppings | Razor ribbon, concertina, outriggers | Optional barbed wire |
| Below grade | Tunneling barriers where required | None |
| Integration | Detection-ready, electric fence capable | Not designed for it |
12 to 16 ft systems with razor ribbon, electric fence integration, and the details correctional standards demand. Proven at Gus Harrison and Parnall for the Michigan DOC.
Tight woven and welded mesh that defeats hands, feet, and tools, for utilities, data centers, and critical sites where deterrence is not enough.
Decorative high-security systems that protect a federal or healthcare campus without institutional harshness, as at the Aleda E. Lutz VA.
Perimeter systems for active airports with secured vehicle access, as installed at Willow Run.
