2024 is the Year to Install or Upgrade Your School Security Fence!
Enhancing School and Playground Safety with Security and Playground Fencing
Educational and playground fencing is designed to prioritize safety, aesthetics, strength, and durability, especially in school and college environments where these factors are paramount. Fencing in educational settings serves various purposes, such as providing security and defining boundaries. It should also serve as a beauty that allows the students and staff to feel safe and secure but not imprisoned or institutionalized.
The necessity for implementing a perimeter fence commences with the national Threat and Hazard Identification Risk Assessment (THIRA) to identify the specific threats or entities the fence(s) should deter or impede. These fences serve the dual purpose of safeguarding against potential threats while fulfilling safety-related roles, combining deterrent and delay capabilities. To enhance the effectiveness of fencing, it is imperative to incorporate a detection component into the design.
It's important to note that security fences can be deployed around perimeters and within enclosed compounds or areas where varying security needs or levels exist. These diverse requirements may necessitate the subdivision of fencing elements, creating distinct zones or secure pathways for inter-building travel. In cases of heightened security, incorporating multiple layers of security fencing becomes essential to ensure comprehensive security.
The design of a security fence should consider features such as gates, barriers, and sally ports to regulate access through the perimeter and devise contingency plans in the event of a breach. Using Security Guards or electronic access control systems can expedite authorized individuals' entry and exit procedures. Simplifying these processes can significantly alleviate congestion, particularly for legitimate or frequent users.
It is crucial to recognize that all fencing installations are subject to local, municipal, state, and national regulations, and bylaws may impose restrictions, limitations, or specific construction standards that must be adhered to when installing fences.

Black Vinyl Coated Deer Fence - 1" Hex Netting
This black vinyl coated (VC) hexagonal poultry netting fence will last a long time. 1" mesh, 20 gauge core wire, galvanized before weaving (GBW) hex netting fence is dipped in a tough, flexible, thick coating of black PVC. The resulting vinyl coated hexagonal poultry netting fence is very corrosion resistant. Inhibitors in the vinyl protect it from UV degradation. The thick coating is tightly bonded to the wire and extremely resistant to cracking, chipping and weathering. Black color makes the mesh blend in with the landscape.
The strong, long-lasting mesh works well as a deer barrier fence. When deer encounter a black fence, they know there is a barrier but cannot see it distinctly. When deer cannot clearly see the top of a fence to judge the distance, they are much less likely to jump. Extra tall 90" height eliminates piecing together narrower rolls. The 90" dimension is nominal. Due to the tension and heat of the coating process, actual height may be between 88" and 90". The inherent resiliency of this mesh allows the fence to give upon impact.

Black Polypropylene Deer Fence
Heavy Duty Perimeter Fence - C-Flex P - from Tenax was specifically designed to be an
impenetrable, impact resistant fence system to protect any designated area from deer and wildlife predation. Black plastic (UV stabilized polypropylene) is extruded into a strong 1.77" x 1.97" mesh netting fence, stronger than what was originally available. Greater strength reduces the chance of breakage from deer and wildlife running into it, lowering the need for fence repairs. 7½ foot height eliminates the need for multiple overlaps, reducing labor and installation time. The black plastic fence is very unobtrusive, yet serves as an effective barrier.
