Palisade vs Mesh Fencing - Choosing Security Fencing
Palisade fencing and mesh fencing can both be effective, secure options, but each one will be more suitable for certain circumstances. If you’re not sure which type of fencing will be best for your property, you can discover some of the key advantages here, helping you make an informed decision.
Palisade fencing: the advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- Anti climb. The main thing that sets palisade fencing apart is the anti-climb properties it possesses. There are no footholds, and palisades are very tall, acting as a good deterrent against break-ins and vandalism.
- High security. The D and W sections give you further options depending on the level of security you require.
- Robust construction. Palisade fencing is made of galvanised steel and PPC.
Disadvantages:
- Higher cost than mesh fencing.
- Not as aesthetically pleasing as mesh fencing – tall, imposing construction.
- Takes a little longer to install.
Mesh fencing: the advantages and disadvantages
Advantages:
- Aesthetically pleasing. The fencing allows light to pass through and creates a less imposing appearance, while still offering many security benefits. If you want more privacy, you can also choose other types of mesh fencing.
- Quick and easy to install. Our mesh fence and gate systems come with everything you need for installation.
- Lower cost. They’re not as expensive as steel palisades.
Disadvantages:
- Less secure than palisades.
- Not as tall as palisades.
- More useful as perimeter fencing, as opposed to high security fencing.
The conclusion
Now you understand the benefits of each type of fencing, it’s time to decide which one will be right for you. To summarise, palisade fencing is probably the best option if you need high-security boundary or perimeter fencing, and have the budget to install galvanised steel or PPC systems.
