FLAT ROOF PROTECTION - ROOF & FENCE SPIKE

PREVENTING DAMAGE TO FLAT ROOFS
AND CLIMBING OVER FENCES
The Problem
• Drain pipes and the like make it easy for agile youngsters to climb up onto flat roofs.
• PC99 Anti-Climb Paint works for several weeks but gets washed off after many weeks of weathering
• Flat roofs are ideal places to skate board but roof felt rips very easily and can cost thousands of pounds to repair
• Conventional roof spikes and razor wire are ineffective – a blanket placed over them makes it easy to climb over
• Conventional roof spikes and razor wire can make the building look like an army camp or industrial unit
The Solution – BARB SPIKE 11
• Probably the most robust and effective product of its type
• It has a very neat, attractive profile
• Very competitively priced
• Perfectly Legal if fitted correctly

A. FLAT & PITCHED ROOF APPLICATION
   

1) PREVIOUS SOLUTION – DID NOT WORK

Due to previous Flat Roof damage from vandalism, the School brought in a Local company who could only off Razor Wire.  Not only did it look like an “Army Camp” rather than a School, but it did not work.  Coats were simply placed over the top of the Razor Wire and they could walk over it.  Having spent £000’s it did not work.

 
   

2) BARBED SPIKE 11 SOLUTION – DID WORK

We were brought in by the Local Crime Reduction Officer to find a Solution. We removed the Razor Wire and Brackets. Our Barb Spike 11 was attached to new “cranked” wall mounted brackets, providing a much neater result. In the 3 years it has now been fitted, NOBODY has got onto the roof – providing a very effective Solution for the School and, no more roof repairs as a result of Vandalism.
 
   
B. FENCING APPLICATIONS
   
1) PREVIOUS SOLUTION – DID NOT WORK

A good quality fence had been fitted at this School, yet climbing over the fence appeared easy. To try to remedy this a Local company fitted brackets and Razor Wire all around the School – what a sight!! What a poor environment for Children to work in. After spending £000’s the School realised that it had not worked – thieves were still scaling the fence, but with a pair of tin snips were able to cut a section of the Razor Wire out and then get over the fence. At great expense the solution did not work.

   
2) BARBED SPIKE 11 SOLUTION – DID WORK

The School called us in to find a solution being a Secured by Design company. We removed the Razor Wire and brackets. We attached Steel Angle between the posts and attached our Barbed Spike 11 to it – a much neater result. In over two and a half years since Barbed Spike 11 has been fitted, nobody has even tried to climb over it – proving how effective the product is for the School.

 
 
FITTING INFORMATION
• To comply with the requirements of the Secured by Design License and the Owner’s Liability Act of 1984, Barb Spike 11 must be fitted a MINIMUM of 2 metres above the ground.
• Schools and Educational establishments – a MINIMUM height of 2.3 metres, and ideally 2.4 metres
• It is extremely important that Barb Spike 11 is only attached to a Rigid Structure. If no rigid structure is available, then something like 50 mm x 50 mm angle may need to be fitted, prior to securing the Barb Spike 11 to it.
• Warning signs MUST be fitted just below the spike, and at a minimum of 6 metre intervals, and at least 1 per face.
• Barb Spike 11 must be placed on the leading edge i.e the side that the person will approach from. If it is not visible it is regarded as an entrapment.
• When handling Barb Spike 11 care must be taken concerning the sharp edges. It must never be balanced on an edge but be held in position for fixing.
• Fixing Barb Spike 11 requires the right screws, bolts, nuts etc, determined by the substrate that the Barb Spike 11 is being attached to. It is essential that the Spike is firmly and securely fixed to its substrate.

• Barb Spike 11 comes in lengths of 1.5 metres. So when providing a rigid substrate to attach the Barb Spike 11 too, bear this length in mind.
• It is important that Barb Spike 11 is screwed, bolted or riveted securely every 300 mms
• Barb Spike 11 MUST only be fitted to a rigid structure.
• Security fixings are ideal. If not available, it is acceptable to either drill out the heads of the fixings OR fill them with suitable Sealant or Resin.
• A Flat Roof usually provides that rigid structure which enables each length of Barb Spike 11 to be secured correctly straight onto it. A Silicone bed is usually placed underneath the length of Barb Spike 11 and into the drilled holes to make a good seal with the roof.
• If fitting the Barb Spike 11 to the top of Fencing then something like 50 mm x 50 mm angle needs to be firmly secured to the fencing posts at each end to provide that rigid structure that enables the Barb Spike 11 to be fitted directly on to it.
• If fitting Barb Spike 11 to a Pitched Roof then a series of Cranked Brackets will be required with angle or some rigid bar, tube or angle between. 50 mm x 50 mm Angle can be used as per fencing. The Barb Spike 11 can then be fitted directly on to it.
