just been to see a job and the client has been broken into through back garden, had his kids quad and ride on lawn mower taken.
big garden that runs down into small woodland then another garden behind which is about 3 acres.
so the client wants 50m of panel board fencing down the side then and L shape of security fencing that doesn't take away from the serenity of the woodland.
so basically i have to find some fencing to secure the bottom boundary and 25 m of the side boundary thats secure but unobtrusive.
ideas so far are
1.green chain link fencing on wooden posts
2. high tensile stock netting and 2 strands barbed wire tensioned.
3. hazel wattle panels attached to 4 strands of tensioned high tensile wire. (not see through though)
will post some pics when i get home.
gi
p.s whats the best way to secure the panels to stop them being lifted out?

Worth a try, everything I've ever needed in the fencing line, chain, panels, security combs, no gun turrets though !
Good luck

HI
I have had to put up some security fencing at the front of my house to stop the kids jumping over the fence on their way to school, and i had the truck window smashed when i was on holiday so they could steal what they thought was a sat-nav. (it was a screen for the rear view camera)
Panels cannot be removed. Its nigh on impossible to climb over, and a paint with anti-vandal paint stops the little buggers from touching it!

dan its that from jacksons?
is it a welded mesh that bolts to the steel uprights
the question re lifting the panels was for featherboard/waneylap fencing panels?

thats the stuff i was thinking off, local council have put it around a sports track, had to take a panel down to get dumper in for a concrete pad but the company would not sell me a socket to remove the tamper proof bolts in case i broke in.....lol in the end they gave one to the council,its great stuff as can see through it great and as dan say's can't climb also looks very neat not to industrial,look in industrial exchange and mart iv seen it advertised there, jacksons might stock it most metal palisade suppliers have it A1 fencing in peterborough ,cambridgeshire are installers for it MSH

the sections fit between the posts on ready welded brackets with tamper proof bolts holding it on MSH

i have heard that those wattle panels are useless==> they rot quickly
I too back on to wooded parkland and have been broken into 3 times in 5 years, i petitioned the council to secure some easy access areas of the park which they did and put 50 m of barb wire around the sycamore hedges and privet at the bottom this has now grown around the barb making it quite difficult to access
i did like the triple point steel pallisade stuff but there is a video on the jackson site that shows it being easy to break
the bottom line is that whenever i leave the house the cctv is on and the alarm is set,day and night
dan's stuff looks pretty good

Or get a couple of Rottweilers!!!

i put some of the jacksons stuff up for a customer. you have to drill the brackets on to the posts yourself, and you have to buy the security bit at £12 to screw them in. I still have the special bit, so anywhere that has this fence, i can break in!
The stuff i brought came from my local fencing supplier. I will see if i can dig out the invoice. i know it was HALF the cost of the jacksons stuff, and each post has the brackets in place. You simply 'hook' each panel in, and concrete the posts in as you go. I have not worked out how and if, you remove a panel, which makes it pretty secure!
It matches the stuff round my local school.

if you have name or manufacturer that would be great.
asked that manufacturer above but not heard back yet
for securing panels? any other ideas, was thinking driving a nail into each post with the hilti nail gun but might explode the concrete post.
