Commercial security fencing
Security Fencing Cardiff
We will provide you with a personalised service which will allow you to get the balance you need between security, practicality and looks.
So, what can we offer? We will come to your premises to conduct a site survey and discuss your aims and objectives. We also like to see the site in operation, as this will sometimes provide some additional insights into how practical certain options could be, and whether there are any additional security or safety issues that should also be considered. Clearly, we also need to understand your budget, as a security fencing and gating system can become all-singing and all-dancing, and costs can keep running away with all the latest additional security options.
We have experience and understanding of the different types of security fencing, and can provide advice on the different options and how they compare for security and looks.
To update or repair damage to an existing boundary around your business, offices or warehouse, we can offer a bespoke service to suit your needs and budget.

Working on live sites
Commercial Fencing Contractors Cardiff
Our team are experienced commercial security fencing contractors and, importantly, understand how to work safely in what is often a business warehouse environment, with various modes of transport going in and out of a site all day and sometimes right through the night. We will also discuss the stages of installation or repair so that it has minimal impact on your day-to-day business activities.
As well as fencing, the other part of your boundary security strategy will be your access and exit points, namely your gates and how vehicle and pedestrian movement is controlled and monitored. We can provide suggestions and advice on getting the balance between security and simple access for staff and visitors.
What we install
Commercial Fencing Cardiff
Commercial fencing is quite a broad term, as commercial premises vary from location to location, and in particular fencing requirements will depend on the nature and activity of a business. As a result, we provide a supply and installation service which can include the following fence types:
- Palisade fencing
- Wire mesh fencing
- Vertical bar fencing
- Metal railings
- Anti-climb guards and rollers
- Bow top railings
- Chain link fencing
- Concrete fence panels
Sometimes, due to the size, shape and different activities on a multi-use site, more than one fence type will be needed, possibly with multiple gates between business sections. We are experienced with all sorts of commercial fence installations, so there is no need to employ different subcontractors for different commercial fence types. Below is a little more information on some commercial fencing options.

The most recognised
Palisade Fencing Contractors
If you drive around business parks you will typically see palisade fencing in Cardiff. This is the most common and well-known type of security fencing, mostly due to its intimidating appearance.
The construction of palisade fencing involves vertical metal bars being fixed to several horizontal metal bars. The metal will almost always be cold-rolled galvanised steel. The galvanising provides resistance to rust and stiffens the metal to give a robust bar which is relatively thin.
The reason palisade fencing is so well known is that it is very recognisable. The tops of the vertical bars are designed to look intimidating, and the pronged tops mean that it is very difficult to simply grab the bars and lift yourself up and over a palisade fence. Different manufacturers may have subtle variations to the tops of the bars, such as a single spike or a split triple spike, often referred to as a 'W' topped palisade bar, which is more likely to cause an intruder to snag their clothes if attempting to climb over.
Other variations involve the colour of the fence. Often the galvanised finish will be used, but some businesses may wish to have a powder-coated finish in their corporate colours, while others choose the most popular colour, green, to make the fencing more discreet by blending it into the surrounding bushes and trees.
We can erect palisade fencing on virtually any surface, with heights reaching up to 3 metres from the ground.
Harder to climb
Security Mesh Fencing Cardiff
Whilst security mesh fencing in Cardiff may not be as widespread as palisade fencing, it does have some advantages over palisade fencing which may not be obvious simply by looking at the two fence types side by side.
Mesh fencing can provide a very hard fence to climb, especially the high security variants, which have gaps too small for fingers to fit in and therefore provide no means of getting a grip on the fence. Whilst it may not look as fearsome as palisade fencing, an opportunist will soon realise that trying to climb a mesh fence is extremely difficult.
A mesh fence is made up of much thinner metal rods, and as a result much more light is visible through the fence, making it much more attractive than palisade fencing, especially for public areas such as parks and in facilities such as schools and residential homes. Neither staff, residents nor pupils want to feel that they are in a dangerous or confining environment, which a palisade fence is more likely to convey.
The higher 'see through' level of a mesh fence also means that it will be more effective as part of a total security system which incorporates CCTV, as the cameras will be able to capture more imagery beyond the fence perimeter, which would be much more difficult with palisade fencing.
Recent installation
V Mesh Security Fencing Installation in Cardiff
Here is a recent installation of a V mesh security fence we installed for a small business in Cardiff. As you can see, this mesh fencing is fairly discreet, so the trees and greenery are still visible but the property has a clear boundary fence.

Boundaries
Commercial Railings
Depending on the finish you choose, commercial railings will often simply be a means of creating a boundary to your property rather than a security-focused fence. Most metal railings are made of vertical bars mounted on two or more horizontal bars. The vertical bars are more tubular than palisade fencing, so they are much easier to climb than mesh or palisade fencing, but they provide a more decorative boundary, so they only provide a low security function. To stay hard-wearing they will often be galvanised and powder-coated, often in black or green to remain discreet.

Repairs
Commercial Fencing Repair
It is fairly common for commercial fencing to become damaged, not, as you may think, by intruders breaking the fence to try to get through, although this does happen on occasion, but mostly by vehicles, especially where your fence surrounds a busy warehouse operation. Large vehicles will sometimes need to make awkward manoeuvres if there are other works going on and the usual drive route has been compromised for some reason. Whilst large vehicles will be fitted with reversing sensors which should pick up a mesh or palisade fence, there will be instances when the sensors simply fail or are not accurate enough, because dirt has not been cleared from them and they are blocked.
Whilst this can be frustrating, often the damage will be contained to just a few sections of fencing. Fortunately, most fences are built up in sections, and security fencing is no different. If this happens, simply get in touch: our team of commercial fencing specialists can inspect your fence and see what replacements are necessary to get it back to its best. We'll do our best to get the repairs done as quickly as possible with minimum fuss and disruption, and we can cover almost all types of security fence.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Commercial Fencing Questions
What is the most popular commercial security fencing and why?
The most common type of commercial security fencing in the UK is palisade fencing. For the security of large industrial or commercial properties, this type of fencing is designed to be intimidating as well as difficult to scale should someone decide to try to climb it. It also cannot be cut through easily with bolt cutters, unlike chain link fencing. It can be finished in a number of powder-coat colours, so it can be a little more decorative than a plain galvanised finish.
Why choose J&Z Fencing Cardiff to install palisade fencing in Cardiff?
We have years of experience in fencing and good relationships with suppliers, so whether you need a complete palisade fence or a small repair, we should be able to get your boundary fence sorted for your business with minimal disruption.
How high can a palisade fence be?
In Wales, a fence can usually be up to 2 metres high (about 6 feet 6 inches) without planning permission, or 1 metre (about 3 feet 3 inches) if it is next to a road used by vehicles or its footpath. Security fencing is often taller than this, at 2.4 or 3 metres, and will then usually need planning permission. Local planning authorities can also have their own restrictions, so it is always advisable to check with your local council before briefing us.
What are the main differences between mesh and palisade fencing?
Palisade fencing is the more intimidating of the two: the pronged tops are designed to deter anyone from climbing over, and the galvanised steel bars are hard to cut. Mesh fencing looks less fearsome but is very hard to climb, especially high security mesh with gaps too small for fingers. Because mesh is more see-through, it suits schools, parks and residential homes, and works better alongside CCTV. We can advise on the right choice for your site at the survey.
