The EnviroProtect® Anti-Climb Post Kits are the essential structural foundation, the certified backbone, of the UK's premier high-security perimeter railing system. These are not generic fencing posts; they are a critical, tested, and approved component, specifically engineered to support the EnviroProtect® Anti-Climb railing panels, which feature a fully welded sheet of 358 “prison mesh”.
The use of these official posts is mandatory to achieve and maintain the system's formidable LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) security rating. Available in a range of security heights from 1.8m to 3.0m, these post kits provide the strength and resilience required to build a truly secure, anti-climb fence line for the most demanding environments.
A security rating is only as strong as its weakest link. For this reason, the LPS 1175 SR1 (A1) certification applies to the entire EnviroProtect® Anti-Climb system as a whole, and these posts have undergone the same rigorous testing as the panels they support.
Using uncertified or inferior posts would immediately invalidate the security rating of your entire perimeter. The SR1 (A1) standard, awarded by the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), guarantees that the complete fence line, supported by these posts, can withstand a sustained 60-second attack from a range of opportunist tools. The posts are specifically designed to resist common methods of attack, such as leveraging, forcing, or attempting to dislodge the panels from their fixings.
Furthermore, they provide the essential rigid framework required for the 358 mesh panels to perform their function effectively. The immense strength of these posts ensures that the anti-climb and anti-cut properties of the mesh are not compromised by a weak support structure, creating a unified and truly formidable barrier.
Every post in the EnviroProtect® Anti-Climb range is constructed from a heavy-duty 60x60mm box section. This substantial steel profile provides the exceptional rigidity and strength required to support the significant weight of the steel railing panels and their additional welded 358 mesh layer, even at a height of 3.0 metres.
This robust engineering ensures the fence line remains straight, true, and secure, resisting impact and preventing flexion over its entire service life. To guarantee longevity in the harshest UK weather, each post is pre-galvanised. This treatment provides a powerful protective layer against rust and corrosion, ensuring the structural integrity of your security perimeter is maintained for decades with minimal maintenance, thereby delivering a low total cost of ownership for a critical security asset.
The EnviroProtect® Anti-Climb Post Kit range is available in four distinct heights to meet the specific security requirements of any site. Each kit is precision-engineered to support the system’s three-rail panel design, providing a consistent and secure framework for the welded 358 mesh panels. The range includes:
1.8m and 2.0m Kits: Ideal for commercial and industrial sites requiring a certified and effective anti-climb perimeter.
2.4m Kit: The standard for high-security applications, offering a significant anti-climb deterrent for sites such as data centres, utility compounds, and secure storage facilities.
3.0m Kit: The maximum-height option, designed for the most sensitive locations like Critical National Infrastructure, Ministry of Defence sites, and prisons, where the highest level of physical deterrence is non-negotiable.
Recognising that every site has unique ground conditions, each post kit in the range is supplied with two distinct installation types to ensure a secure foundation can be achieved anywhere.
The bolt-down posts are designed for mounting onto existing solid surfaces like concrete pads or structural steel, with post lengths of 1800mm, 2000mm, 2400mm, and 3000mm for their respective height kits.
For installations in soft ground, the extended dig-in posts are provided for creating a new, deep concrete footing, with lengths of 2500mm, 2700mm, 3100mm, and 3700mm, respectively. The integrity of the installation is vital for the system's performance, and these options provide the flexibility to create a truly immovable foundation.
