Palisade W-Pale
High-Security Fencing

Most perimeter breaches occur not because of a lack of fencing, but because the system wasn’t designed for the threat it faced. In critical environments, anything less than robust protection is a risk.

For facilities requiring an impenetrable defence, Summit Fencing’s Palisade 
W-Pale High-Security Fencing is the solution. Engineered to British Standard BS1722-12:2006 (the benchmark for high-security palisade fencing), it resists climbing, cutting, and tampering, delivering high security fencing suited to deliberate intrusion attempts. This makes it the preferred choice for data centres, government sites, and high-security industrial assets across Australia.


Why Choose Palisade W-Pale Fencing?

 

Conventional mesh or chain-wire fencing leaves critical weaknesses: cutting points, easy footholds, and deformation under force – making them unsuitable for high-risk environments.

Palisade fencing overcomes this with a robust design featuring a vertical W-pale profile, which significantly enhances resistance to cutting, bending, and impact. This, combined with narrow spacing between pales, effectively eliminates footholds, creating an unyielding barrier. Crucially, this formidable security solution still preserves clear sightlines for CCTV and patrols.

Summit’s W-Pale Palisade Fencing uses solid steel pencil-point posts and cold-rolled triple-point W-pale pickets. These are engineered to resist cutting and bending. The result is a durable anti-climb fence designed for high-risk sites rather than opportunistic breaches.


Key Features & Benefits

Our Palisade W-Pale High-Security Fencing delivers reliable, 
long-term protection:

  • Heavy-Duty Construction

    3 mm W-pales, solid posts, triple-point tops resist climbing, cutting, and tampering.

  • Customisable Heights

    Standard 2400, 2700, 3000 mm; custom heights available.

  • Fast Installation

    Pre-cut rails and pales enable efficient, weld-free assembly.

  • Extended Service Life

    Galvanised and powder-coated systems typically last 20+ years with
minimal maintenance.

  • Unclimbable Design

    Narrow spacing removes footholds; spikes or razor wire add extra deterrence.

  • Pale Top Options

    Triple-point (standard), single-point, 
or flat tops.

  • Integrated Access Control

    Gates match fence height and can include gate automation for consistent perimeter protection.

  • Durable Finishes
