Maximize The Security Of Your Commercial Chain Link Fencing

24 August 2018 by Connor Hanson

The chain link fencing surrounding your commercial property is only one layer of a security system. Yes, the fencing is quite effective in keeping people off of your property for the most part, but if you take the time to put some extra thought into maximizing the security of your property, you will be in an even better position to secure the area. Here, you will find a few tips that can help you maximize the security of your commercial property.

Climb Prevention

Invest in chain link fence extensions for the top of the fencing to further slow down any possible intruders trying to climb the fence.

Another option is to electrify the fencing. If it is electrified, you will need to post signs stating that there is an electrical current flowing through it and you won't have to worry quite as much about anyone attempting to climb over.

Clear the Area

Keeping the areas around the fencing clear will help to deter some potential intruders. Clear out any landscaping materials or any other obstacles that can conceal anyone that is trying to cut through the fencing. If every area around the fence is clear from obstacles, you'll make it less inviting for anyone to spend any time even thinking about how to get in.

Security System Inclusion

Is the fencing included in the security system monitoring? There are alarms that can be added to the fencing to alert the monitoring service if the fencing is being tampered with. Perimeter intrusion detection systems can be added to your chain link fence to give you a true sense of security. This system consists of a cable or wire that runs through the fencing to a component box. If the fencing vibrates, the alarm sounds. Yes, there will sometimes be false alarms from animals, harsh weather and tree limbs, but for the most part, you'll know when anything is messing around with the fencing securing your property.

Talk with your local commercial chain link fencing professional to learn more about what you can do to maximize the security of your chain link fencing. If you don't do all that you can, the fencing will not be as effective in keeping trespassers off of your property like you had intended when you installed the fencing. Soon, you will have the security in place to keep everything safe from potential thieves or other intruders.
