Security & Palisade Fence — what we stock
Security fence is the regulated commercial perimeter. Where steel mesh and tubular steel handle generic commercial perimeter, security fence handles the engineering specification — the perimeter where intrusion has measurable consequence and the fence design is a deliverable subject to inspection and audit. Fenced.ca's security range covers four substrate categories: 358 welded mesh (3″ × 0.5″ × 8 gauge — the residential-equivalent commercial anti-climb), palisade W-pale or D-pale (vertical steel pales with triple-pointed tops, the European-standard urban perimeter), expanded metal (cut-and-stretched steel sheet with diamond apertures — high architectural appearance with anti-climb function), and razor-wire toppings (concertina or flat-wrap; specified as a topper on any of the above for high-security applications).
CPTED compliance: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is the Canadian commercial-security framework — fence height ≥ 2.4 m for industrial perimeter; no climbing aids within 0.6 m of the exterior face (no horizontal rails on the climb side, no adjacent furniture); intervisibility maintained between fence interior and adjoining public space; appropriate lighting and surveillance coverage. Our shop drawings cite the relevant CPTED guidance and provincial security-code references.
Federal procurement: PSPC, Public Services and Procurement Canada, and DCC (Defence Construction Canada) work requires ITAR-compliant supply chain documentation for some sensitive sites. Our bid desk handles federal procurement workflow including controlled-goods registration where required.
Threat tiers: Class 1 deterrent (chain-link 1.8 m, residential) vs Class 2 medium (palisade 2.4 m, commercial) vs Class 3 high (palisade 3.0 m + razor wire, industrial) vs Class 4 critical (anti-ram bollards + multi-layer perimeter, military/critical infrastructure). Each tier has documented ASTM F2781 climb-rating and PAS 68 crash-rating where applicable.
Palisade specifics: Vertical pales are W-section, D-section, or triple-point pales with anti-climb tips. 3.0 m height is the commercial industrial standard. Toppings add anti-climb rotators, razor coil, or electrified outriggers.
Engineered detection: Modern security fence integrates fibre-optic vibration sensors along the top rail, CCTV mast brackets, and passive infrared detection zones. Engineering report (P. Eng stamped) required for CCDC-3 specified projects above $500k.
Pricing & lead time: Security fence pricing: Class 1 chain-link 1.8 m runs $25–40 LF installed, Class 2 palisade 2.4 m at $120–200 LF, Class 3 palisade 3.0 m + razor coil at $180–280 LF, Class 4 high-security multi-layer at $350–600 LF. P.Eng-stamped drawings included for CCDC-3 specified projects. 5–10 week lead time for palisade fabrication.
