The Need For High Security Fencing For Commercial Properties

High security fencing is generally not needed around residential properties.
Sometimes you will see the high security fencing around these areas when the homeowner does some business out of the home, or they operate a child care facility from their home.
Mainly high security fencing is constructed in places where it is detrimental that the business owner keeps the general public out.
High security fencing is placed around electrical plants and electrical substations.
These areas have the potential to be deadly if people were to mess around them unsupervised.
The owners of these areas have to make certain that someone cannot accidentally walk onto this type of property and be injured.
They have to make sure that there is a fence guarding the area and that the fence is high enough that people cannot simply climb over it.
The fence that is made so that people cannot climb over it, or they cannot easily cut it with bolt cutters, is used to protect people from the wild animals at the zoo.
A zoo has to provide the protection to the visitors from the animals they have in the cages, and they have to protect the animals from the people that will be visiting.
The fences must be high enough to deter the thought of climbing them.
The areas around prisons must be protected by fences that are almost impossible to climb.
Prisoners would like to escape their confinement and would climb the fence to get away.
Authorities build fences around these establishments and place barbed wire, called razor wire, at the top of the fence to deter any thought of escape.
Military properties also install fences that are very tall, razor wire over the fences, and fences that cannot be easily cut with bolt cutters.
The military bases do this more to keep people out than to keep people in.
Many of these bases protect secrets that the country does not need to fall into the wrong hands.
By making the fences hard to get past the military can assure that their secrets are safe.
Schools and learning institutions have to have these barriers in place to help protect the students that attend them.
At one time this was only true of schools that were located inside huge cities, but now that so many horrible actions have been perpetrated at rural schools, even the country schools have the added security of fences and guards.
Safety of the general public seems to be the main reason for a commercial property owner to establish one of these barriers.
If something on the property is dangerous and someone is hurt by it, the property owner can be sued.
So property owners do everything within their power to stop people from coming onto their property and being hurt.
The other reason for these barriers is to help reduce losses due to theft, Property owners have to stop thieves form having easy access to their belongings.
