Businesses and other property owners seeking a strong perimeter security solution have traditionally chosen steel palisade fencing. Palisade fencing, well-known for its strength, resilience, and aesthetic deterrent qualities, is a flexible security option that can be customised to satisfy a wide range of requirements.
To assist you in understanding the many uses and benefits of Lochrin Bain steel palisade fencing systems, we’ve put together this blog post, which demonstrates why our product offering is one of the best options on the market today.
Key Applications of Steel Palisade Fencing
Commercial Properties
Steel palisade provides excellent protection for commercial premises, including warehouses, office blocks and retail complexes. One of our more popular options for this type of application is the Lochrin Classic™ – a rivetless palisade fence where vertical pales pass through v shaped slots in the horizontal rails. This unique design offers greater levels of security than traditional front fixed palisade fences.
Industrial Sites
Industrial facilities often house valuable equipment and materials. As a result, security is often a top priority for these types of installations and steel palisade fencing is an ideal choice for perimeter protection due to its ability to withstand harsh conditions whilst offering high level of security. Again, our Lochrin Classic™ would be a good choice for these types of sites, however our Lochrin Combi™ also has a role to play due to its Secured by Design accreditation.
Utilities & Critical Infrastructure
From power plants and water treatment facilities through to data centres and gas storage facilities, safeguarding critical national infrastructure (CNI) is essential for the security and prosperity of the nation. Here, steel palisade fencing offers a reliable barrier against unauthorised access or intrusion, helping to ensure the uninterrupted operation of vital services used by the masses.
It is here where the Lochrin range of high security fencing products comes into its own. Our experts have designed these products so that they adhere to various industry standards, and we are proud to have achieved various certifications such as NPSA certification, LPS 1175 and Secured by Design.
Within our high security offering, Lochrin Combi™ fencing is available in both SL1 and SL2 variants with the former carrying full certification to LPS 1175 Security Rating A1 Issue: 8 and the latter carrying full certification to LPS 1175 Security Rating B3 Issue: 8. Both of these products are ‘Secured By Design’ and conform to BS1722 Part 12:2016.
For the highest levels of protection, our Lochrin Defender SL3™ is the way to go. This innovative high security palisade fencing system has successfully achieved the prestigious LPS1175 C5 (SR3) rating and ensures a minimum delay time of at least five minutes, independently tested to defeat a range of attack methods (including both hand tools and power tools).
Educational Institutions
Schools, colleges, and universities across the UK can benefit from steel palisade fencing’s ability to clearly define boundaries while maintaining a secure perimeter to keep students, staff and visitors safe from outside threats. Many of our steel palisade products are suitable for this type of application, however, our mesh fencing products are also a popular choice for educational institutions and sporting facilities. You can learn more about the applications of mesh fencing here.
Transport & Logistics
Palisade fencing is a trusted choice for a wide range of transportation facilities and logistic hubs. Whether used for the protection of bus depots, railways, airports, or seaports, the durability and adaptability of this type of fence makes it perfectly suitable for protecting large, open areas.
Public Spaces & Parks
Palisade fencing provides a robust yet attractive solution for areas where vandalism or unlawful access to particular areas may be an issue. The majority of our fencing products are appropriate for use in and around parks and other communal spaces. They can even be powder coated so that they fit in better with the surrounding environment. It should be noted that our mesh fencing products are also suitable for this type of application.
Key Benefits of Locrhin Bain’s Steel Palisade Fencing
To help summarise and build upon the points discussed in this article, here are some of the key benefits and reasons why people across the UK choose and trust our range of steel palisade fencing products:
- Unmatched Durability – When compared to more traditional fencing materials, Palisades steel construction ensures long-lasting performance, even in harsh environmental conditions.
