What Makes Our Machine Perimeter Fencing Different?
Strong, Stable Construction
- 30mm vertical frame sections
- Reinforced horizontal tubular bars
- 3mm horizontal and 2.5mm vertical wire thickness
- Standard heights: 2000mm, 2200mm, 2400mm
The rigid frame prevents flexing and provides high impact resistance in busy industrial environments.
Impact- and Scratch-Resistant Finish
Panels are manufactured from cold galvanised steel and finished in Black RAL 9005 as standard. This gives:
- Corrosion resistance
- Long-term durability
- Professional industrial appearance
Anti-Climb Mesh Design
Standard mesh size: 18mm x 97mm
The tight mesh pattern:
- Prevents climbing
- Maintains high visibility
- Allows air, light and water to pass through
- Reduces dust build-up
This makes it ideal for machine guarding and warehouse environments.
Access Doors for Perimeter Guarding
Access is just as important as protection.
We supply a full range of doors for perimeter safety guards, including:
- Single swing doors
- Double swing doors
- Sliding doors
- Custom width access gates
Doors are supplied pre-fitted with:
- Hinges
- Door catches
- Bracing bars
- Reinforced frames
Interlocking options can be added where required for higher safety levels.
