Solid fence reduces surveillance into and out of the area. Timber is generally less resilient to attack and should be avoided as security fencing.

Security fencing needs to be appropriately specified. For instance timber fencing offers poor resistance to attack and steel palisade fencing provides an unattractive boundary. It is acknowledged that there may be locations where steel palisade is appropriate. If specified it should be certificated to the relevant standard required by SBD.

Appropriate security fencing is in place particularly to the side and rear of units to prevent criminal intrusion.
The fencing provides demarcation between public space and the commercial premises and in particular protects commercial areas that are vulnerable to criminal attack. It provides safety for employers and employees, prevents casual intrusion by trespassers as well as intrusion by criminals and reduces the wholesale removal of property from the site by thieves. Secure fencing should be certificated to the relevant standard required by SBD.

Gates within perimeter fencing systems match the design, height and construction of the adjoining fence and thus do not compromise the overall security of the boundary.
