Key Considerations for Your Security Fence Project

Selecting the best fence involves more than just picking a style. As experts in the field, we advise clients to consider these four factors:

  1. Defining Your Security Goal

What is your primary objective? Are you simply marking a property line and deterring casual trespassers, or do you need to prevent a targeted, forced entry? The answer will determine the necessary fence height, material strength, and whether to include high-security add-ons.

  1. Durability and Environmental Factors

Your fence is a long-term investment that must withstand North Carolina’s weather. We consider factors like material coatings for rust prevention and the gauge (thickness) of the steel to ensure it holds up for decades with minimal maintenance.

  1. Site Layout and Access Control

How will people and vehicles move through your perimeter? We help you plan the strategic placement of swing gates, slide gates, and access control points to ensure security doesn’t come at the expense of operational efficiency.

  1. Budgeting for a Complete Solution

The cost of a perimeter fence is determined by linear footage, height, material choice, and site complexity. We provide transparent, comprehensive quotes that cover the entire project, ensuring there are no surprises.
