se head designs not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also bolster security, making palisade fences an excellent choice for various settings.
<p>Palisade fences are primarily constructed from galvanized steel and PVC-coated steel. The hot-dipped galvanized steel variant is favored for its thicker zinc coating, which offers superior corrosion and rust resistance, ensuring durability and longevity. This type of fence stands up well against the elements, making it a practical choice for long-term use.Alternatively, PVC-coated palisade fences provide exceptional corrosion and rust resistance while also offering an array of color options to harmonize with different environments. Popular colors include green, blue, yellow, and white, but the fences can also be customized in single or mixed color schemes to suit specific aesthetic preferences.

A palisade fence consists of several essential components: pales, rails, posts, stays, and various accessories that all work together to boost its structural integrity and functionality.
Pales form the primary element of the palisade fence, crafted through hot or cold forming processes. These are available in designs suitable for general purposes as well as for enhanced security needs. General-purpose pales might be corrugated or shaped into angle sections, while security pales feature corrugation with fastener head protection to prevent tampering. Manufacturers create pales with a length tolerance of ±2 mm, ensuring uniformity across the fence.
PF-05: Various Palisade Fence Pale Designs
Palisade fence pales come in various head types, with each style offering unique security features. Both corrugated and angle pales have distinct designs that enhance the security of the entire system and help prevent intruders from climbing over. These specialized head types are crucial in fortifying the fence against breaches, making it more difficult for potential intruders to gain access to protected areas.
PF-08: Six types of corrugated pale head.
Corrugated pale head types are as follows:
PF-09: Five types of angle pales head.
The angle pale head types are as follows:
Welding: Workers weld the pales to the rails with 3 mm fillet welds, each weld at least 30 mm long on either side of the pale. All welding follows BS RN 1011-1 and BS EN 1011-2 standards, performed by personnel certified under BS EN 287-1 to ensure the welds are high-quality and durable.
Bolting: For this method, workers use bolts at least 8 mm in diameter to secure the pales to the rails. The design of the bolt heads minimizes protrusion from the pale surface to lower the risk of tampering and remove potential footholds.
Riveting: Riveting is another strong method for attaching pales to rails, similar to bolting. Rivets used also measure at least 8 mm in diameter. The rivet heads, like bolt heads, protrude minimally to discourage tampering and keep the surface smooth.
Both bolting and riveting methods aim to boost the fence's security features. In Security Pale (SP) designs, the fastener heads are specially shielded to resist tampering and withstand external forces, thus boosting the overall security of the palisade fence.

Palisade fences include two horizontal rails that provide crucial structural support. The exact specifications, such as the oversail distance from the center of the upper rail fixing to the top of the pales and from the center of the lower rail fixing to the bottom of the pales, appear in Table 2. This careful attention to detail ensures the fence aligns perfectly and is strongly built.
You can install the posts for palisade fencing in two ways: embedding them in the earth or bolting them onto concrete foundations, depending on the specific site conditions and installation needs. For better security and design consistency, installers typically pair pointed top pales with similarly pointed posts. The standard spacing for posts is 2.75 meters, but installers can adjust this to meet specific site needs or preferences.

The versatility of palisade fencing allows it to be adapted for a wide range of applications, from residential properties to high-security areas such as industrial sites, commercial premises, and governmental facilities. It is especially valued for its ability to maintain high visibility, allowing for effective surveillance while securing the perimeter.
Moreover, the option to customize the fencing with different materials, colors, and specifications ensures that it can meet specific aesthetic and functional requirements. Whether through the use of galvanized steel for longer durability or PVC-coated steel for additional corrosion resistance and color matching, palisade fencing offers a solution that combines security with style.
In conclusion, the fencing is a durable, adaptable, and effective security barrier that provides peace of mind through enhanced protection and attractive design, making it an excellent investment for a wide variety of security needs.
