NOTE: If you're looking for answers to what is palisade fencing, its applications, benefits, and installation process, we cover it more in-depth in another blog.

Palisade Security Fencing

Palisade security fencing, as the name suggests, is primarily used to provide a high level of security. It protects the enclosed area from intruders and acts as an excellent theft deterrent.

The height of palisade fencing ranges from 1800mm to 3000mm and 2750mm in width. The range is supplied with 'W' section steel pales, making the fencing stronger and more stable.

Additionally, it is sold with 'triple-pointed steel pales', or we also offer 'single-pointed pales' and 'round & notched pales' as alternatives. The posts can be 'dig-in' or 'bolt down'.

The top and bottom rails are also required to successfully set up palisade fencing. These are usually 2.75 meters long and can support up to 17 pales but can be easily cut to size on-site for smaller bay widths.

The palisade fencing kits come with (components may vary depending on fence specifications):

• 1 Palisade Fencing Post
• 17 'W' Section Palisade Fencing Pales
• 1 Palisade Fencing Top Rail
• 1 Palisade Fencing Bottom Rail
• 2 Palisade Fencing Fishplates
• 4 Palisade Fencing M12 Bolts
• 34 Palisade Fencing M8 Bolts

Moreover, palisade fencing requires anti-tamper fixings, which offer a secure connection by having the top section of the nut snap off after installation.

The steel used in manufacturing the parts is also galvanised to protect the fencing from rust. Moreover, polyester powder coating can be applied to increase steel's resilience and give it a brighter look.

The powder-coated fencing can be ordered in multiple colours:

• Green – RAL 6005
• Blue – RAL 5010
• Grey – RAL 7037
• Black – RAL 9005
• Red – RAL 3020
• Brown – RAL 8017

We also offer a powder coating service to customise your fencing colours with RAL powder coating finishes.

Even though setting up palisade fencing requires many different parts, all our palisade fencing is sold in kits, making ordering much easier! We also offer package deals where you can buy 50 or 100 bundled palisade kits at a better price.

Palisade Fencing Gates

If you're installing palisade fencing, you'll likely want to enter the area you're enclosing as well. That's where palisade fencing gates come in.

The gates are made from the same materials as the fencing, offering 'triple point', 'single point', and 'round & notched' pale types. They also include 'dig-in' and 'bolt down' posts and custom colours to match your chosen specifications of palisade fencing.

Our range of gates includes:

• Manual swing gates – made for easy pedestrian or vehicle access and can be bought in various heights and widths.
• Manual sliding gates – easy-to-use sliding gates are the optimal choice for locations with limited space to open a gate, providing high-quality security.
• Automatic sliding gates – offering an exceptional level of security, automatic sliding gates' heights range from 1.8m to 2.4m and widths from 2.0m to 6.0m.
• Automatic bi-folding gates – designed to close twice as quickly as traditional swing gates. These gates are fully customisable, providing a lot of options with heights ranging from 1.8m to 2.4m and widths from 2.5m to 8m.

All our gates are supplied with the correct posts and fixings for smooth assembly. However, additional posts, pales, rails, or fixings are also available.

Palisade Fencing Accessories

Our offering includes a range of palisade fencing accessories. Even though we sell palisade fencing in kits with the required parts for installation, the accessories sold separately are high-quality parts that aren’t essential for the correct assembly but protect from damages.

Palisade Posts

The posts are sold separately to provide replacements for damaged sections of your palisade fencing. Palisade posts are available in both 'dig-in' and 'bolt down' varieties. They can be bought as end kits, corner kits, and intermediate posts. They can also be galvanized or powder-coated to match your current palisade system.

Palisade Pales

Our palisade pales are available in four different types and can be found in a range of heights, so you can pick the one most suitable for you. Like our posts, our individual palisade pales can also be galvanized or powder-coated, ensuring uniformity with your existing system.

Palisade Rails

Palisade rails are designed to suit 2.75m wide bays and are available as top or bottom rails suitable for any height of palisade. They can be powder-coated or galvanized to match your current system.

Palisade Fixings

Shitai contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

Our range includes various palisade fixings, including bolts, fishplates, corners, end kits, and cement. All of these can be purchased individually as needed for repairs.

We also offer a Fix It Kit for Palisade for those annoying occasions where something slightly goes wrong, whether it's a lost bolt or scuffed paint. The kit contains two straight fishplates, two M12 x 30mm Nuts and Bolts, five M8 x 25mm Nuts and Bolts, and a can of touch-up spray paint (for PPC finish only).

Additionally, the Quick Install Resin Kit (for M16 or M12 bolts) includes: M16/M12 x 210mm SDS Masonry Drill Bit, Injection Resin Cleaning Brush, Blow Out Pump, and a Heavy-Duty Resin Applicator Gun. Although be wary, as resin anchors are less forgiving of poor installation techniques, if done correctly, it's the superior way of fixing your posts to the ground.

Gate Locks and Accessories

If you're installing palisade gates, you'll want them to stay secure. Our gate locks can take care of that. They have been designed to be quick and easy to install, from drop bolts to digital locks.

While also working as an intruder deterrent, these locks ensure pedestrian safety and provide secure access to verified personnel.

Palisade Anti-Climb Systems

We also offer anti-climb systems to increase your palisade fencing security even more with rotating spikes or barbed wire. The systems can be installed on the top of the fencing to protect against intruders climbing the fence.

Barbed Wire

Barbed wire is available in standard, high-tensile, or HD high-tensile 2-ply. It is one of the most commonly used intruder deterrents.

It includes sharp 4-pointed barbs spaced equally along the length of the wire. It's made from high-quality galvanized steel, suitable for outdoor environments.

Rotating Spike Systems

Rotating spikes provide a non-aggressive alternative for anti-climb systems. These systems are ideal for high-security areas, e.g., offices, banks, etc.

To install rotating spikes, you'll need accessories, including adjustable corners, sockets, and supports. The rotating spikes aren't designed to inflict injury on intruders while still maintaining a strong visual deterrent.

Moreover, the rotating spike system is designed to prevent anyone from grabbing it to climb the fence, as the system rotates.

Installation Service

If you find yourself needing to fence an area with palisade fencing but can't accommodate the installation process yourself, First Fence offers installation services. We can deliver fencing straight to the desired address and put it up, ensuring everything meets the highest security standards.

Final Thoughts

Palisade fencing is considered a high-security option, made with durability, security, and longevity in mind. It can also be upgraded with additional accessories based on your needs, whether it's enhancing security or customizing colors to match the surrounding aesthetic.

In this blog, we've covered all the information you need before committing to purchasing palisade fencing. Hopefully, this guide helps with your considerations and pushes you to make the right decision.

A Guide for Fencing Contractors to Buy the Best Fences

• 08 Jan 2021
• Posted By S K Weldedmesh

Your customers trust you and your choices. They have hired you to install the best fence on their property that provides them maximum security.

A big part of that task is to ensure the fence you're using is of premium quality. But, at the same time, you must also focus on the budget of those customers.

There are many fence manufacturers in India. You can pick any. But when quality is the Holy Grail, it's important to find a manufacturer that cares about quality just as much as you and your customers do. And this is easier said than done.

Here are five tips for fencing contractors to buy and install the best fences for their customers:

1. Understand customers’ needs and budget – Before starting any project, it's essential to understand completely what your customer wants and requires, their budget, and their expectations. Without knowing their needs, you won't be able to buy the right fence.

2. Make customers understand the quality-price trade-off – Good quality comes at a cost. Similarly, cheap-priced products have compromised quality. You must explain this trade-off to your customers if they are particular about good quality. Let them know that if they want a superior quality fence with rich properties, they must spend accordingly. On your end, however, make honest efforts to procure superior quality fences at a low cost.

3. Find a trusted fence company – This will take some time, so take it. Once you find the right fence company, you can partner with them on subsequent projects, turning it into a long-term relationship. Find a reliable fence manufacturer with a large catalog of different types of fences, a company with good market credibility, and one that offers superior quality products at an affordable rate.

4. Get educated about fences – As a fence contractor, you likely already know a lot about fences. But even so, invest more time to learn more. Educate yourself about different types of fences, their properties and features, how they are made, what they are suitable for, how they are priced, and so forth. Having adequate knowledge of the segment will help you make informed decisions when buying fences from a manufacturer.

5. Improve your operational efficiency – Some fencing contractors often opt for poor-quality, cheap-priced fences to have a higher profit margin. Instead of this, to truly boost your returns, focus on improving your operational efficiency at work. This simple approach will ensure you're not buying poor-quality fences but rather prioritizing high quality. Besides, you can buy the best fence, but if it's not properly installed, the quality would be secondary to the outcome.

These five tips can help fencing contractors in India buy good quality (and cost-effective) fences.

Remember, to a point, the quality of products you use will define your credibility. So, make sure you're trusting good quality fences for your customer projects.
