Palisade

A palisade fence is built from three parts: posts set in the ground, horizontal rails fixed to the posts, and vertical steel pales fixed to the rails. The pales stand close together, so the fence forms a near-solid wall of steel uprights.

The design works as a physical barrier and as a visible deterrent: the tall, close-set pales make it clear that the property is protected.

• Pointed tops make the top of the fence hard to grip and climb, for sites where security comes first.
• Rounded tops give a calmer look, for sites next to public areas where a pointed top is not wanted.

• Utility sites, substations and pumping stations
• Industrial sites, warehouses and depots
• Data centers and other critical infrastructure
• Rail, road and transport facilities
• Commercial premises that need a strong, visible boundary

A palisade fence gives a near-solid, imposing line of steel uprights. A mesh security fence is see-through, which keeps sight lines open for cameras and patrols. Both are used for security; the choice depends on whether you want people to see into the site or not. Fenceweb also supplies mesh security fence and the brackets, rails and posts that go with it.

A palisade fence needs posts, rails, pales and fixings that are made to work together, and gates in the same style for every entrance. Plan the gates with the fence, so the post positions and the gate openings line up. Tell us also whether the fence stands on open ground or on a slab, because that decides how the posts are set and fixed.

1. Set the posts in concrete at the spacing of the rails.
2. Bolt the horizontal rails to the posts.
3. Fix the pales to the rails, keeping the spacing and the top line even.
4. Hang the gates on their posts and fit the locks.

Palisade fence is not sold as a ready product in the online store at the moment. Send us the length and height of the fence, the top style and the number and width of the gates, and we will tell you what we can supply for your site. Fenceweb works with data centers, correctional facilities, schools, utilities and contractors, and delivers to every US state and to Canada.
