Better perimeter control starts with better planning
Protection matched to risk
We look at what the boundary is protecting before settling on the right approach.
Gates built into the line
Entrances are planned as part of the perimeter instead of added as weak points.
Site assessment before fitting
Corners, levels and awkward sections are considered before the layout is fixed.
Security fencing works best as a full perimeter
Security fencing is about making access harder, weaker spots less inviting, and the site boundary easier to control. That starts with understanding what the fence is protecting and how the place is used. Height, visibility, resistance to climbing, ground conditions and the value or sensitivity of what's behind the line all shape the right specification. A fence that looks imposing but leaves easy routes around corners or through a badly planned gate won't do the job especially well.
Wingfield Fencing Ltd approaches security fencing as a proper perimeter, not a few separate pieces joined up on the day.
The practical layout matters as much as the fence
Gates, pedestrian access and vehicle entrances need planning as part of the same boundary so they do not become the obvious weak points. We assess corners, changes in level, service routes and any awkward sections that may need a different treatment, then balance deterrence with the practical reality of everyday use. A site still has to function while being protected, whether that means staff access, deliveries or keeping sight lines where they matter.
Frequently asked questions
How do you decide the right level of security fencing?
It depends on the site and what sits behind the boundary. We look at the need for deterrence, visibility, climb resistance, access control and how the space is used day to day, then shape the fencing approach around those practical factors.
Can security fencing include gates and access points?
Yes, and it should be planned that way. A perimeter is only as strong as its weakest access point, so pedestrian gates, vehicle entrances and controlled openings need thinking through as part of the same overall layout.
What should I send with a security fencing enquiry?
Photographs, approximate lengths, heights, gate positions and any notes on the site layout all help. If there are corners, slopes, service routes or areas with awkward access, mention those too so we can understand where the difficult parts may lie.
