A number of factors were considered, including durability from collisions, projectile resiliency, scaling deterrence, damage absorption, sound protection, and visibility privacy.

Here are the top designs which offer ideas for commercial and residential projects.

Pros: Due to the tight meshed elements used to construct this fence, this design offers anti-climb features and a strong deterrent to scaling on height alone. The fence also does well to keep out objects of a variety of sizes with it’s tight knit design improving upon typical chain linked constructs. Collisions against this type of fence spread the impact throughout the mesh, giving it impressive resiliency.

Cons: Sound and visibility protection is a vulnerability for this type of fence. An opportunity for improvement would be to increase the size of the posts to provide added security against car collisions.

Pros: Different levels of elevation help ensure that each unit can withstand an impact while minimizing the impact to adjacent blocks. The fence effectively safeguards property assets from vehicle collisions. The pickets at the top offer a rudimentary deterrent against climbing. This fence offers quick setup compared to other designs all things equal. This design offers more strength and durability compared to chain linked fencing.

Cons: The privacy is limited without shrubs or greenery as property belongings are easily seen otherwise.

Pros: Providing impact does not damage the exterior frames, the internal modular design provides an opportunity to swap out damaged or worn out planks providing greater life span.  The high design not only deters unwanted climbers, but also provides privacy on the visibility front that improved upon a chain linked fence. This type of fence is also quick to install as foundations are typically set in soil rather than cement.

Cons: Because of its modular design, it may be difficult to contain sounds coming in or emanating from a property. Based on the fabrication of components this fence may require longer periods to

Residential Chain Link Fence #20#2 Versatile Fencing

Pros: A unique mix of comprehensive durability and aesthetics. The chain linked fence offers durability towards collisions or projectiles. The towering height of this fence also makes it difficult to climb. Lastly, the security screen beneath the chain link offers visibility and climbing protection that is uncommon for regular chain linked fences.

Cons: With any integrated perimeter, replacing portions of the fence may cause difficulty, but in terms of security this fence stands tall. This fence would not do well against on-coming vehicles but serves well in a typical residential setting. It will also typically take longer  to install than common chain fences.

Security fence institution / business#1 Commercial /Institutional Fence

Pros: The heavy gauge wiring is difficult to tamper or to circumvent with conventional pliers or cutting instruments. The top of the fence also provides added security to prevent intruders from getting in. The solid heaven gauge post make it resistant to collisions with vehicles and other projectiles. The difference between the security grade of this design compared to chain linked fences are in favour of the former.

Cons: Visibility protection could be improved with a screen behind the meshed metal to ensure sound and institutional operations are kept confidential.
