How Do I Know Which Palisade I Need?

Our Buyer’s Guide
There are 3 main types of palisade First Fence offers: standard palisade, PaliGuard®, and GRP non-conductive palisade.
Standard Palisade
Palisade Fencing provides a strong, long-lasting security solution, offering both protection and a clear boundary for sites.

Palisade systems can include pedestrian or vehicle gates and are suitable for both hard and soft surfaces, with all components assembled on-site.
Matching gates are available.

The fencing is BS1722 Part 12 compliant, and is thicker than standard palisade. PaliGuard® has a pale thickness of 2.5mm or 3mm for increased wind bearing.
Matching gates are available from 1.0m to 10.0m to cover everything from walkways and restricted areas to access areas for heavy goods vehicles.
