Metal Fencing Anti-Climb Products

What you're not allowed to do:

Historically embedding broken glass or nails into a cement bed on the top of the wall (or more recently nailing carpet gripper battens to fence and wall tops), has been widely favoured, however, whatever the location, this is now illegal and could lead to prosecution.

Installation Considerations:

Installation of the more aggressive perimeter security systems should be undertaken by professional installers, who will be aware of installation guidelines, current codes of practice and general safety issues.

Local guidelines may vary and the Police, and the "Planning" and "Environmental Health" departments of your Local Authority can offer advice on local policy or regulations.

Warning:

Use of products of this type could obviously cause injury to intruders, which could in turn have implications for the owners of the premises under the Occupiers Liability Act 1984. Installation of any form of physical anti climb barrier at a height of less than 2 metres from the ground (minimum acceptable height for some applications may be higher), may be illegal and in all cases, the display of appropriate warning signs may be a legal requirement.
