    What Is Steel Palisade Fencing?

    Palisade fencing is a high-security steel fencing system made from:

    Specs include:

    • Vertical steel pales
    • Horizontal steel rails
    • RSJ steel posts concreted into the ground
    • Anti-tamper security fixings

    The pale tops are formed into pointed or notched profiles to deter climbing and unauthorised access. It is widely used across:

    Where visible deterrence and structural integrity are required, palisade fencing is often the preferred solution.

    Product use:

    • Industrial estates
    • Distribution depots
    • Schools and academies
    • Vehicle compounds
    • Commercial premises
    • Utility sites
    • Rail & infrastructure projects
    3-prong-palisade-fencing

    Triple Point (3-Prong) Palisade Fencing

    The most common and widely specified configuration. Each pale is formed into three sharp points to maximise anti-climb resistance and act as a strong visual deterrent.

    • Industrial yards
    • Commercial compounds
    • High-risk perimeters
    • Logistics depots

    Triple point palisade fencing is the industry standard for commercial security.

    single-point-palisade-fencing

    Single Point Palisade Fencing

    A slightly less aggressive profile while still maintaining anti-climb performance.

    Often specified where planning or aesthetic considerations apply.

    • Warehouses
    • Industrial Estates
    • Storage Yards
    • Sports Facilities
    rounded-palisade-fencing

    Round & Notched (Safety Top) Palisade

    Designed to reduce injury risk while still discouraging climbing.

    • Schools
    • Parks
    • Community facilities
    • Public-sector buildings

    Frequently Asked Questions – Commercial Palisade Fencing

    3Palisade fencing is a high-security steel perimeter fencing system made from vertical steel pales fixed to horizontal rails and secured to steel posts set in concrete. The pale tops are formed into pointed or notched profiles to deter climbing and unauthorised access, making it a popular choice for commercial and industrial sites.

    Palisade fencing provides a strong visual deterrent and rigid steel barrier that is difficult to climb or force. Mesh fencing, such as 358 prison mesh, offers enhanced anti-cut resistance and improved visibility for CCTV-monitored sites. The better option depends on your site’s risk level, exposure, and insurance requirements.

    For most commercial and industrial premises in the UK, 2.4 metre triple-point W-section palisade fencing is the most commonly specified height. Higher-risk sites may require 3.0 metres or additional security toppings such as barbed wire.

    The cost of palisade fencing depends on height, pale thickness, section profile (W or D), ground conditions, and total linear metres required. Commercial 2.4m W-section palisade fencing is typically priced per metre including supply and installation, with a site survey required for accurate quotation.

    Yes. Triple-point (3-prong) palisade fencing is specifically designed to deter climbing. The pointed tops reduce grip points and make scaling the fence significantly more difficult, especially when installed at heights of 2.4 metres or above with anti-tamper fixings.

    W section pales are stronger and more rigid, offering greater resistance to bending and forced entry, making them ideal for commercial and industrial security. D section pales are lighter-duty and more economical, typically used in lower-risk environments.

    Hot-dip galvanised palisade fencing manufactured to BS EN ISO 1461 standards can last over 20 years in normal UK conditions. Powder coating adds additional corrosion resistance and improves appearance, particularly in exposed or urban environments.

    Palisade fencing is most effective on industrial estates, warehouses, distribution centres, vehicle compounds, schools, and infrastructure sites where visible deterrence and structural strength are required to protect the perimeter.
