Palisade Fencing

Palisade fencing is the classic vertical steel pale fence line found around depots, substations, industrial estates and any commercial site where a strong, unmistakable security perimeter is wanted. We fabricate every run to measure — height, length, pale spacing and post fixings all built around your actual site rather than fitted to a fixed panel size. Call 02089116000 for a free quote, or read on for what to consider before you order.

Pale Profiles and Head Styles

We work with the full range of palisade pale profiles, including W-section and D-section, finished with whichever head style suits the site: triple pointed for the strongest anti-climb deterrent, single pointed, rounded and notched, or a plain rounded top where a slightly less aggressive appearance is wanted without losing the fence’s core security purpose. Fixings are set so pales can’t be unbolted from outside the perimeter.

Bolt-Down or Dig-In Posts

Posts can be fixed either by bolting down onto existing hard standing — useful where you don’t want to break up a concrete or tarmac surface — or by digging in and concreting for a new installation. Tell us about your ground conditions and we’ll advise on which suits the site.

Built to Your Run, Not a Standard Panel

Palisade fencing sold in fixed panel widths often means an awkward final section where the run doesn’t divide evenly. We fabricate to your actual perimeter length, so the whole run — including any corners, gates, or changes in level — is planned around the site as it really is.

Matching Gates

A palisade fence line is rarely ordered on its own — most sites need at least one gated opening for vehicle or pedestrian access. Our palisade double gates and palisade sliding gate ranges are built in the same profiles and finishes as the fencing itself, so the whole perimeter reads as one consistent installation rather than a fence with a mismatched gate.

Finishes

Fencing is hot-dip galvanised as standard for corrosion resistance, with a polyester powder coat available on top in any RAL colour — black and green are the traditional palisade colours, though any shade can be specified.

Where Palisade Fencing Is Used

Industrial estates, depots, utility and substation compounds, construction sites, and any commercial perimeter where the priority is a strong physical barrier and a clear visual statement of security. Where visibility through the fence line matters more than an imposing presence — school and hospital sites are the typical example — our mesh fencing achieves a comparable level of security with a more open aspect.

Made to Measure

Send us your perimeter length, any corners or level changes, and your preferred height, and we’ll confirm post spacing, pale profile and finish before manufacture begins.

Nationwide Supply and Installation

We supply complete palisade fencing runs nationwide, fabricated to your exact site, with installation available if you’d rather we handle the whole job. Call 0208 911 6000 to discuss your perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard spacing between palisade pales?

Pale spacing varies depending on the security level and specification required. Common centres are typically between 100mm and 150mm, but we can adjust spacing to suit your site requirements — contact us to discuss the most appropriate configuration for your perimeter.

What heights are available for palisade fencing panels?

Palisade panels are available in a range of standard heights, commonly from 1.2m up to 3.0m. Panels are made to measure, so non-standard heights can also be produced to match existing fencing or specific security needs.

Are the pointed tops of the pales an effective anti-climb feature?

The pointed pale tops are a visual and physical deterrent that makes scaling the fence more difficult. The design is a common choice for industrial and commercial perimeters where reducing climb-over risk is a priority.

Can palisade fencing be matched with a palisade gate of the same style?

Yes, we manufacture palisade gates using the same pale design and spacing as the fencing panels, giving a consistent appearance across the full perimeter boundary. Gates can be supplied as single or double leaf, pedestrian or vehicle width.

What post type is used for palisade fencing panels?

Palisade panels are typically secured to steel posts, which can be supplied in a range of sizes depending on panel height and wind loading. Post type and fixing method are confirmed at the specification stage for your site.

Can palisade fencing be used on uneven or sloping ground?

Yes, palisade fencing can be installed on sloping ground. Panels can be raked or stepped to follow the ground line — contact us with details of the site gradient so we can advise on the most practical approach.

Is palisade fencing suitable for commercial and industrial perimeters?

Palisade fencing is a widely used option for commercial and industrial boundaries due to its robust construction, height options, and pointed pale tops. It provides a clear boundary definition while acting as a visible deterrent.

Can palisade fencing be powder coated in a specific colour?

Yes, palisade panels and posts are available with a galvanised finish as standard, with the option of powder coating in any RAL colour. Popular choices for commercial sites include dark green, black, and anthracite grey.

How are palisade fence panels fixed to the posts?

Panels are typically secured to posts using anti-tamper fixings or standard bolts, depending on the security level required. Anti-tamper fixings are an option where there is a higher concern about unauthorised removal.
