Because of their structure, weld-mesh fences are harder to climb, and require
more cuts than a standard chain-link to make a man-sized hole.
Palisade fences
The effectiveness of Intelli-FLEX II installed on this type of fence will depend
entirely on the characteristics and construction of the specific fence. There are
several types of palisade fences.
Standard palisade fences consist of vertical metal stakes which are welded,
riveted, or bolted to horizontal support members. These, in turn, are carried by
metal posts. Some types of palisade fences have a horizontal connecting tubular
rail. This rail provides a location to install the cable that hides the cable and
protects it from the elements, tampering or other potential damage.
Unlike chain-link or weld-mesh fences, palisade fences have a uniform
construction along the entire fence line including the corners. If constructed
properly, a palisade fence conducts vibrations well and any attempt to cut into the
fence will be detected.
Because the fence is rigid, climb-over intrusion attempts generate less noise and
vibration than in a chain-link fence. The fence is also less responsive to wind and
rain. Because of this, the processor gain may be adjusted to a higher level than for
a chain-link fence.
A trial on the specific palisade fence is recommended
before an entire system is installed to determine if the
climb-over detection meets the site requirements.

representative.
