Customized & Tailored High Security Solutions
High-security fencing needs vary greatly depending on the specific requirements of each project and facility. At Hurricane Fence, we understand that one-size-fits-all solutions are rarely adequate when it comes to protecting critical assets and infrastructure. That’s why we specialize in designing and implementing customized fencing solutions tailored to the unique needs and challenges of each client.
More durable than chain link, ornamental fencing is the most popular style of security fencing. Its construction makes it difficult to climb and it can be fashioned with spear-topped and curve-topped pickets. Ornamental fencing is also typically used to achieve crash ratings, and with over 30 years of experience, Hurricane Fence Co. is prepared to help you reach your security standards.
Ornamental & Welded Wire Options We Install
Our high-security fencing solutions are designed to meet the rigorous security demands of various industries. Explore the ornamental styles, welded wire systems, and anti-climb enhancements we build into a secure perimeter.
Ornamental Steel & Aluminum
Best for: The most popular style of security fencing
More durable than chain link, ornamental fencing is the most popular style of security fencing. Its construction makes it difficult to climb and it can be fashioned with spear-topped and curve-topped pickets. Ornamental fencing is also typically used to achieve crash ratings.
Spear-Topped Pickets
Best for: A formidable barrier that is difficult to climb over
Spear-topped pickets combine security with aesthetic design, providing a formidable barrier that is difficult to climb over. The spear-like tops deter intruders by presenting a sharp, pointed obstacle, significantly increasing the difficulty of unauthorized access.
Curve-Topped Pickets
Best for: Balancing security with aesthetic appeal
Curve-topped pickets offer a stylish yet effective deterrent against intruders. The curved design makes it challenging for individuals to gain a foothold, thereby preventing climbing, an excellent choice for locations requiring a balance between security and aesthetic appeal.
Anti-Climb Wire & Mesh
Best for: Deterring intruders from scaling fences or walls
Anti-climb wire and mesh are critical for deterring intruders from scaling fences or walls. Designed with sharp edges and closely spaced wires, they make climbing extremely difficult and risky, often used in conjunction with other barriers to create a comprehensive security perimeter.
Chain Link & Welded Wire
Best for: Cost-effective perimeter security
Chain link fencing is a classic option for perimeter security. It is cost-effective, easy to install and repair, and can be outfitted with additional security features such as anti-climb wire, barbed wire, and reinforced cable systems.
Crash-Rated Systems
Best for: High-risk projects requiring vehicle impact resistance
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.
Durability & Low Maintenance
Built for Maximum Perimeter Protection
Reinforced materials resist cutting and tampering, anti-climb fencing options prevent unauthorized access, and crash-rated options stand up to vehicular impact. Corrosion-resistant materials and heavy-duty construction withstand harsh weather and impact, while durable coatings and reinforcements keep upkeep minimal, delivering long-term cost efficiency with reliable security. Every system can integrate with perimeter security infrastructure for real-time monitoring.
Codes, Compliance & Crash Ratings
Compliance involves adhering to local, state, and federal regulations that govern security fencing, which can vary depending on the location and type of facility. We design fences to meet or exceed the required standards before we build.
Regulatory standards
High-security fencing solutions are designed to meet strict federal and military standards, along with local and state regulations that vary by location and facility type. Working with a fencing company that understands these regulations is crucial to compliance.
Crash ratings
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 M ratings have become the industry standard, K and M ratings are often used interchangeably.
Site assessment
The right type of fencing depends on your facility’s specific security needs, location, and potential threats, along with the desired level of security, visibility, and regulatory requirements. A thorough site assessment from our team helps identify the most suitable option for your project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ornamental Steel & Welded Wire 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.
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.
