Perimeter Protection & Fencing galore!!

Security protection around Schools and other commercial establishments requires perimeter control, either computer clamps, window & door grills, perimeter fencing, or a combination.  Perimeter security will require fencing protection and Décor-Grille are the leading UK fence protection specialists.

SCHOOL SECURITY

Section3 -  PERIMETER PROTECTION & FENCING
 
The Problem - Schools
Out of hours are a target for mischief and vandalism
Need fencing around the Perimeter to try to eliminate problems
Most fences around Schools are not keeping people out
Most fences are easily climbed by agile youths
Increased levels of IT equipment are being purchased by Schools
IT equipment is getting smaller, lighter and easier to steal
Schools are becoming a much greater target for Burglary
Fencing is difficult to make not only secure, but less “climbable”
7 Laptops can be stolen in less than 4 minutes, even with perimeter fence, alarms and CCTV – detailed on School Security Home Page

The Solution – Options for Schools
Electric fencing – too expensive and too obtrusive
Secure individual items such as Projectors
Create Secure areas by securing windows and doors

SCHOOL SECURITY

 

PROTECTING THE PERIMETER

The substantial increase in high spec IT equipment is making fencing less of a deterrent to the more determined thief who sees Laptops and Projectors being relatively small items of high value that are easy to steal and conceal, as well as dispose of.

If experience has shown that Fencing is very difficult to make secure without adding Electric fencing, then what other options are available to keep IT equipment safe in a School?

HOW SHOULD YOU SELECT FENCING

 
To grade a Fence in terms of the Security it provides requires TWO aspects to be evaluated

1 - “CUTABILITY” - How difficult it is to cut through to breach the perimeter
2 - “CLIMBABILITY” - How difficult it is to climb over and back

Below is a good example of a fence that is graded HIGH for “Cutability” but only LOW / MEDIUM for “Climbability”.
 

A Schools Playground Fencing with Razor Wire fitted.

 

THE RESULT; Able to pick up 7 Laptops from a Classroom, jump back out of the window, go 150 metres across a Playground and scale this 2.4 metre high fence and away before the Police arrived within 4 minutes of the alarm being activated.

NOTE:
The School thought when they bought a good quality fence 2. 4 metres high that they were completely secure. In fact, Burglaries were still taking place, but now by scaling the new fence. This meant the School would have to spend even more money, having Razor Wire coiled around the top of the fence – all around the School. A very sad situation for a School, that now looked more like an army camp.
Even this Razor Wire did not stop the thieves – they simply cut a section of the Razor Wire out, allowing them to get over the fence and back. Every time it was replaced they came back and cut a different section of Razor Wire out. So money wasted.

The most difficult fencing to climb is 358. This is a wire mesh type utilising 3 mm thick wire very closely spaced – preventing any grip to be able to climb. This is a very heavy fence as a result but the only one graded as High Security. It is also very expensive.
All other fences are Low to Medium Security and will provide a lesser or greater amount of security BUT coupled with the “Climabability” aspect reduce its overall effectiveness considerably for a School.
