Protect Your Perimeter, End to End
Security fencing is more in demand than ever, protecting everything from military bases and law enforcement facilities to solar farms and data centers. With over 30 years of experience, Hurricane Fence provides commercial security fence solutions including fencing, gates, barriers, and crash-rated systems tailored to your project’s needs.
Your perimeter is only as strong as its weakest point, which is almost always at a point of entry. Hurricane Fence Co. specializes in both manual and automated entry systems, and as the first fence company in the state with its own gate operator division, our specialized project managers are here to make sure your access points are secure.
Access Control & Gate Automation
As the region’s only fence company with a fully in-house gate operator division, Hurricane Fence designs and installs the entry systems that go with your commercial security fence line, not just the fencing itself.
Entry systems we install:
- Slide gates and cantilever slide gates (no ground track required)
- Swing gates, single or double-leaf
- Vertical lift and vertical pivot gates for space-constrained sites
- Barrier arms for high-traffic vehicle access
- Turnstiles and pedestrian gates for foot traffic control
Authentication and monitoring:
- Keypad entry and card readers (proximity cards, smart cards, key fobs)
- Mobile credential and biometric options
- Vehicle detection loops and photo-eye obstruction detection
- Video intercom systems with real-time access logs
- Manual emergency releases on every automated system
For sites requiring vehicle-impact protection, we also install crash-rated wedges and bollards, with rapid deployment options under two seconds. Our installation teams hold Hysecurity M30/M50 certification along with CAGOI and CGAD gate automation credentials. Whether your project is a single automated gate or a full commercial security fence system with integrated access control, our in-house team designs and installs it as one project, not two. See our full gate operators and access control page for the complete range of systems we install.
Anti-Climb & Anti-Cut Fencing Options
Hurricane Fence installs several proven anti-climb and anti-cut systems:
358 welded mesh. Rigid panels with a 3-inch by 0.5-inch aperture — too narrow for fingers, toes, or bolt cutters to gain purchase. Typically installed at 8 to 10 feet, this is one of the most common high-security perimeter choices for government and infrastructure sites.
Expanded metal panels. Cut and stretched from a single steel sheet with no weld points for an intruder to attack, and no clear sight line through the panel.
Palisade fencing. Vertical steel pales with no horizontal rails and a spiked or triple-pointed top, removing any gripping surface between pales.
Toppers for existing fences. For sites that already have a perimeter fence but need to upgrade it, we install angled extensions (12 to 24 inches, angled outward), rotating anti-climb drums, spike strips, and razor coil.
Every installation uses dry-packed posts, anti-tamper fasteners, and welded panel-to-post joints, so the anti-climb feature can’t simply be unbolted. For a deeper look at how these options compare, see our blog post on anti-climb and anti-cut fencing options for high-risk sites.

Anti-climb toppings and vehicle detection at entry points are common requirements across this sector. Read this guide for choosing the right fence.
Transportation & Logistics
Best for: Airports, rail yards, seaports, trucking terminals, and freight and distribution centers
Ensuring the safety of high-traffic and high-value transport hubs, including airports, rail yards, seaports, trucking terminals, and freight and distribution centers. Gate automation matters as much as the security fencing itself, given the volume of vehicle and pedestrian traffic these sites manage daily. Read more in this guide.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities
Best for: Corporate campuses, manufacturing plants, warehouses, business parks, industrial facilities, and chemical plants
Safeguarding businesses, manufacturing plants, and industrial operations, including corporate campuses, warehouses, business parks, industrial facilities, and chemical plants. Card-reader and keypad access control are common upgrades for facilities managing multiple shifts or contractor access.
Financial & Data Security
Best for: Banks and financial institutions, cybersecurity facilities, and high-value storage facilities
High-security fencing for sensitive financial and technological institutions, including banks and financial institutions, cybersecurity facilities, and high-value storage facilities. These sites often pair anti-climb mesh fencing with credentialed, logged access control for audit purposes.
Healthcare & Research Institutions
Best for: Hospitals and medical centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing sites, biomedical research labs, and public health facilities
Ensuring restricted access for critical healthcare and research environments, including hospitals and medical centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing sites, biomedical research labs, and public health facilities. Controlled access points matter as much as the perimeter for facilities balancing public access with restricted areas.
Correctional & Detention Facilities
Best for: Prisons and correctional institutions, juvenile detention centers, and border security checkpoints
Providing robust security solutions for high-risk detention environments, including prisons and correctional institutions, juvenile detention centers, and border security checkpoints. These sites are where anti-climb and anti-cut fencing options are most critical, often combined with our highest crash-rated barrier systems.
Crash-Rated Solutions
Crash Rated Fence, Gate & Barrier Solutions
For certain high risk projects, such as military installations, data centers, and solar farms, you may be required to use crash rated materials to secure your perimeter. Crash ratings denote how well fencing, gates, and other barriers will withstand a head-on attack by vehicle. The two most prevalent crash ratings in use today are K ratings, established and awarded by the DOS/DOD, and the more modern M ratings, established and awarded by The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Although the modern M ratings from the ASTM have become the industry standard, K & M ratings are often used interchangeably, understandably so considering their many similarities.
Permits, Codes & Site Requirements
High-security fencing must adhere to local, state, and federal regulations that govern security fencing, and those requirements vary depending on the location and type of facility. As a licensed and bonded Class A contractor for multiple municipal, state, and federal locations, Hurricane Fence designs fences to meet or exceed the required standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
High Security Fencing — Common Questions
What makes a fence “high-security”?
High-security fences are designed with enhanced features that prevent unauthorized access, resist cutting and climbing, and withstand high-impact forces. They often include additional security elements like anti-climb toppings, reinforced materials, and integration with electronic security systems.
How do I choose the right type of high-security fencing for my facility?
The choice of fencing depends on your facility’s specific security needs, location, and potential threats. It’s essential to consider factors like the desired level of security, visibility, aesthetic preferences, and compliance with regulatory standards. Consulting with a high-security fencing expert can help identify the most suitable option for your site.
What are crash-rated fences, and when are they necessary?
Crash-rated fences are designed to withstand and stop vehicles from breaching the perimeter. They are necessary for high-risk facilities like military bases, government buildings, and critical infrastructure sites. The rating indicates the fence’s ability to stop a vehicle of a certain weight traveling at a specific speed.
Can high-security fences be integrated with electronic security systems?
Yes, high-security fences can be integrated with a range of electronic security systems, including surveillance cameras, motion sensors, intrusion detection systems, and access control mechanisms. This integration enhances the overall security posture by providing real-time monitoring and response capabilities.
How do I ensure my high-security fence complies with regulatory standards?
Compliance involves adhering to local, state, and federal regulations that govern security fencing, which can vary depending on the location and type of facility. Working with a reputable fencing company that understands these regulations and designs fences to meet or exceed the required standards is crucial.
What maintenance is required for high-security fences?
Regular maintenance is vital to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of high-security fences. This can include inspections for damage, immediate repairs to any compromised areas, and routine cleaning to prevent corrosion. Specific maintenance requirements can vary based on the fence material and environmental conditions. For gate operators, we recommend professional inspections at least twice annually for commercial applications.
How long does it take to install a high-security fence?
The installation time can vary significantly depending on the fence’s size, complexity, and site-specific challenges. A thorough site assessment and detailed project plan from a professional fencing company can provide a more accurate timeline for your specific project.
What’s the difference between anti-climb and anti-cut fencing?
Anti-climb features, like angled toppers, rotating drums, or a palisade’s spiked top, are designed to stop someone from scaling the fence. Anti-cut features are about wire gauge and aperture size, making it difficult for cutting tools to gain leverage on a single wire. High-security sites often use both together, such as 358 welded mesh, which is narrow enough to resist cutting and tall enough to resist climbing in the same panel.
