Fencing

Fencing structures have been used since ancient times to demarcate boundaries and as protective barriers, preventing unauthorised entry of strangers into ones territory. In modern times, fencing is used commonly for fields, yards, gardens, military camps and other private or restricted areas. Today, the need of such fences is crucial, especially, with the threat of robbers, terrorist, etc. More and more houses and offices have constructed protective fences for security and privacy against trespassers and thieves. Fencing is generally constructed of stakes or posts that are bridged with barb wires, boards or rails.

The fences are made of wide variety like plank fencing, picket fencing, board fencing, rail fencing, barbed wire fencing, electric fencing and fencing panels. Fencing panels are horizontal flat slabs that are installed vertically on the ground between two supportive posts. Fencing panels, typically, are available in wood as they are durable and look good. For durability, they are painted in varying colours to suit the exterior of the property. An electric fence is another type of fence widely in industries for security reasons by private and government bodies. They are more commonly setup in prisons to discourage prisoners from escaping. The also provides an ideal solution for keeping animals and livestock safe. Certain advanced electric fences come with monitoring devices that can instantly detect if anyone tries to cross or breakthrough the fence.
