Product Selection Guide
Which specification is right for this application?
Use this as a practical starting point. Final selection should consider site conditions, drawings, project specifications and applicable standards.
| Requirement | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|
| High-security utility perimeter | Anti-climb mesh with secure posts, gates and anti-tamper fixings. |
| Additional deterrence | Add barbed wire, razor wire or internal compounds where project specifications require. |
| Equipment protection | Use fabricated cages or internal barriers around critical equipment. |
| Coastal or exposed location | Review galvanised, coated or stainless options based on site exposure. |
Note: Electrical infrastructure projects should confirm all site-specific security, earthing, coating and safety requirements before final specification.

FAQs
Common questions
Why is anti-climb mesh used around substations?
Anti-climb mesh helps reduce footholds and finger holds while maintaining visibility for inspection and surveillance.
Should earthing and bonding be considered?
Yes. Metal fencing near electrical assets should be coordinated with the project electrical engineer and site requirements.
