Security fencing that matches your risk level and site
MES Systems designs and installs commercial security fencing across Nuneaton, Warwickshire, and the wider Midlands.
Security fencing isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right system depends on:
- Threat level: opportunistic theft vs targeted intrusion
- Site type: industrial, school, depot, utilities, offices, leisure
- Visibility needs: clear sightlines for CCTV and patrols
- Access points: vehicle and pedestrian entry/exit, deliveries, shift changes
- Ground conditions: slopes, retaining edges, uneven boundaries
- Compliance requirements: insurance, audits, or security standards (where applicable)
We’ll help you choose the correct fence type, height, finish and gate strategy, then deliver a clean install with clear handover documentation.
MES Systems: A complete perimeter approach
We focus on what actually reduces risk to give you complete peace of mind.
- Fencing specified around real threats and site constraints
- Gates and access designed as part of the perimeter (not an afterthought)
- Practical installation that suits operations and safety requirements
- Clear proposals and scope
- Professional installation standards
- Optional ongoing support and maintenance
Security fencing with integrated gates and access
We can specify and install fencing alongside:
- Vehicle gates (manual or automated)
- Pedestrian gates with controlled access
- Barriers for vehicle management
- Access control & intercoms for authorised entry
- CCTV integration considerations (sightlines, coverage, lighting)
Designing fencing for CCTV and layered security
A fence performs best as part of a complete security approach, to ensure:
- clear sightlines for cameras and patrols
- reduce blind spots around corners, gates and boundaries
- consider lighting and access control to prevent tailgating
- gates and fencing are specified together
Want a perimeter plan, not just a fence? Book a site survey, and we’ll recommend a bespoke solution.
| Option | Best for | Strengths | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| 358 Mesh / LPS 1175 | High-security sites |
Strong anti-climb profile Great visibility for CCTV |
Often higher cost than standard mesh Spec must match risk, including posts, fixings and gates |
| Weldmesh / V-mesh | Most commercial/industrial sites |
Balance of strength, looks and value Good perimeter visibility |
Higher-risk sites may need additional security measures Gate strategy is crucial |
| Palisade | Industrial deterrence |
Durable and well-known solution Strong visual deterrent |
Less open visibility than mesh options May not suit public-facing aesthetics |
| Railings | Schools / public-facing sites |
Safer, more appropriate appearance Strong boundary definition |
Not designed for high-threat environments Consider access control at entry points |
