The
Barbican range was designed over 26 years ago by Jacksons Fencing to be the
most complete, versatile, adaptable and durable range of fencing and gates
available.
Over the years, as we have continually improved on it,
Barbican has grown to become our signature design and recognised for the high
levels of security it provides, without compromising on style. This is a direct
contrast to one of the more frequently used and unattractive products on the
market, steel palisade.
Steel palisade
fencing is typically used to protect commercial premises with its intimidating
look and low initial costs, proving popular with many property owners.
However, steel
palisade fencing is a false economy. Issues with rust, low quality steel and
poor finishes mean that the long term costs end up being much higher due to
constant maintenance and repair.
Cost is not the only
factor. Most security experts consider steel palisade fencing to be far less
effective than alternative products available on the security market, such as
Barbican.
For example, because
of the width of the upright pales, visibility through the fence is poor which
impedes surveillance. Palisade fences are secured by rivets or bolts, which can
be knocked out or unbolted with relative ease, allowing intruders to swing them
aside, giving access to the site without leaving a tell-tale sign that the
perimeter has been compromised. The danger here is that unauthorised accessed
can be gained numerous times before a breach is identified.
Barbican is a
superior product to steel palisade in every way. Its high-quality design is
backed by a 25 year guarantee, reducing lifetime costs.
Far sturdier than
its cheaper counterpart, its rails cannot be easily removed thereby providing
assurance that a site’s perimeter security won’t be breached. Along with its
anti-climb design this prevents access either through or over the perimeter.
Barbican fencing is
also available as LPS 1175 SR1 rated and can also be customised to accommodate
barbed wire, razor wire or Rota Spike as well as be installed on uneven or
sloping ground.
Barbican conforms to
anti-trap regulations, clearing it for use at parks and playgrounds. Barbican
is adaptable to any situation with a range of aesthetically pleasing finials
available.
