**Investing in a Well-Designed Security Fence: Protecting Your Property and Business**

As a property or business owner, you face significant risks and costs associated with security breaches and criminal activity. Investing in a high-quality, well-designed security fence is a smart and effective way to safeguard your assets and maintain peace of mind.

Not all security fences are created equal. Here are 13 essential considerations before installing a security fence:

*The reality is that a poorly designed security fence can inadvertently encourage crime by providing hiding spots, obstructing surveillance, or impeding security responses. Conversely, research demonstrates that a properly designed security fence is a proven investment that can:*

- Discourage break-in attempts

- Prevent unauthorized entry

- Slow intruders down

- Increase the likelihood of apprehension

A robust security fence is a valuable asset. Take the time to review these 13 critical design features and consult with the experts at Profence to discover how we can help protect your home or business

1. What’s the Function of Your Fence?

While it may seem straightforward, understanding your fence’s primary purpose is crucial. Is it solely for security, or does aesthetic appeal also matter? If your business aims to foster a welcoming environment, striking a balance between security and attractive design is essential.

Avoid using intimidating features like razor wire or electric fences where they could deter customers. Instead, options like Palisade, Boulevard security fencing, or chain wire can provide strong anti-climb features, high visibility for surveillance, and durability, all while maintaining an appealing appearance.

Determine the appropriate security level: For controlling access to swimming pools, garden areas, or separating traffic, solutions like Banksia, Garden, Harvest, Roll Top Safety Fencing, or Esplanade Pool Fencing may suffice.

The Australian Open is one of the world’s most prestigious tennis tournaments, attracting thousands of fans, players, and media from around the globe. Behind the scenes, a massive logistical effort goes into preparing the venue to ensure everything runs smoothly, especially when it comes to site modifications and safety upgrades. In 2024, we were proud to be part of this exciting process, helping with the removal and renewal of fencing at the tournament site.

Preparing for the Main Staging Area

Our involvement began with the critical task of removing all existing fencing around the venue. The goal was to clear the space for the main staging area, which would accommodate media, VIPs, and operational staff during the tournament. This required meticulous planning and coordination, as we had to work seamlessly alongside hundreds of other tradespeople involved in the event setup.

Precision in Removal: Marking and Crane Lifting

Every fencing panel was individually marked to ensure a smooth and organized removal process. This attention to detail was essential because the panels needed to be carefully crane-lifted out of the site without causing damage or delays. Our team coordinated closely with crane operators and site managers to ensure each panel was safely and efficiently removed, all while adhering to strict safety protocols.
