Ultimate Guide to choosing your Palisade Pale Type

If you’re not sure on the different pale type options, and which might be best for you, have a read of our latest blog to find out more and help you make an informed decision for your project.

What is Palisade Fencing?

Palisade fencing is a popular permanent choice for security and perimeter installations, known for its durability and effective deterrent qualities.

This type of fencing provides a strong barrier against unauthorised access, and a long-lasting fencing solution for a range of applications.

Available in a range of sizes, and with matching gates, there is also the option of different pale types to best suit your project:

• Triple Pointed
• Single Pointed
• Round and Notched

Let’s have a closer look at the pale types…

What is the difference between pale types?

First Fence offers three different types of pale types, each offering unique characteristics. Understanding these and the project that you are working on is essential for selecting the right pale type for you.

Triple Pointed

Triple pointed pales have three sharp points on the pale, creating a more intimidating appearance for your perimeter fencing. This design enhances the security of the palisade fencing by making it more difficult for intruders to climb.

Single Pointed

Single pointed pales feature a single sharp point, providing a balance between security and a more visually appealing solution. While not as intimidating as triple pointed pales, the single pointed palisade fencing design still offers great security features, making it suitable for various applications.

Round and Notched

Round and notched pales have a rounded shape with cutouts along their length, offering a visually appealing and less threatening design. Although not as sharp as pointed pales, the round and notched design can still provide a reliable level of security suitable for certain environments, and therefore used in environments where aesthetics are considered more of a priority. It is typically the preferred pale type for rail infrastructure and similar.

Which pale type suits my application?

The choice of pale type for your application, depends on the level of security that you require, whether aesthetics are important to your project and of course the location of your project.

High Security Areas - If you are looking for an intimidating fencing solution that provides high security and deters any unauthorised access the triple pointed pales for our palisade fencing are the ideal solution. They work well around businesses that stock a range of goods and power plants.

Balance of Security & Aesthetics – Our single pointed pales are perfect for applications that need a good level of security but also have a balance of aesthetics. Especially with the option to powder coat the fencing you can still have the best of both worlds. This could be used for a range of commercial premises.

Security where Aesthetics are Key – Security fencing is required for a range of applications, for example, schools, residential areas and public spaces. If you know security is still a key factor but aesthetics, also take a priority, our round and notched pales are the best solution. Again, with the option to powder coat in a range of RAL colours, you can have a good level of security while still having a visually appealing fencing solution.

Choosing your palisade pale type depends on your project, and understanding the unique features of these pale types to help you make the right decision.

By considering security, visual appeal, and budgets you can confidently select the palisade pale type that best works for your fencing project requirements.
