Problem

User FORUMHOUSE under the nickname Ilya SPb asked this question:

“I want to know who thinks what about: which fence is the most difficult to overcome? It seems to me that it is quite easy to climb over any wooden fence, only corrugated board or mesh remains. Moreover, the mesh is at least 2 meters high. It seems to me that it is easy to climb over it, but it is inconvenient to climb over it, it crumples, especially if you put a thorn on top. And it is inconvenient to climb on the corrugated board, there is nowhere to rest with your feet and the upper edge of the hand cuts.

And here are some other considerations. On the one hand, the grid - no intimacy, on the other - the house is in plain sight, let someone see that they are climbing, doors / windows are broken. These are the chaotic thoughts. Which fence is better? "

Consider the most popular country fences and determine which one is the most reliable. But before that, let's consider the concepts of a blind and visible fence.

Deaf or overlooked?

A solid high wall seems to be the most reliable, but this is not entirely true. A blank fence not only protects the area from prying eyes, but also protects the thief from unnecessary glances. If the intruder is not visible from the road and from neighbors, it will be more comfortable for him to steal. He will calmly collect and pack everything of value in daylight, and with the onset of darkness he will easily leave the territory.

If the dacha is not intended for permanent residence, it would be wiser to install a visible fence. This increases the chances that someone will see unauthorized entry into your territory. And lovers of easy money are unlikely to climb into the viewed place.

We analyze materials: professional sheet

It is one of the most popular site fencing materials. You can make an insurmountable obstacle out of it, if you take into account three nuances.

In order for a fence made of profiled sheet to become an insurmountable obstacle, the design should be as simple as possible: only racks and lintels. No corner frames and u-shaped decorative plugs! The upper edge of the fence should be as unsuitable as possible for grip. Who wants to grip a raw metal blade?

The posts should be 250–300 mm lower than the profiled sheet. This is necessary so that the post does not become an additional support. A dense fabric can be thrown over the profiled sheet in the area of the post, which will help to overcome the obstacle. If the post is slightly recessed, this trick will fail.

Self-tapping screws should be replaced with rivets. This will not allow you to dismantle the sheets using a screwdriver to make a passage in the fence. And the fence itself will not be taken away.

Rabitz

A mesh fence is the most affordable option, but not very reliable. You can overcome it with a piece of thick fabric or by cutting the passage with ordinary pliers. The chain-link requires reinforcement.

So that metal collectors and other guests have no desire to climb over it, you need to put a couple of rows of barbed wire on top.

To make it difficult to work with pliers, it is worth planting a hedge from the category of "especially thorny" along the net. Perfect for: wild rose hips, raspberries, sea buckthorn, barberry, blackthorn.

The most reliable

A reliable option would be a modern welded mesh fence. It initially contains protective functions - the design of such a mesh can be safely called anti-vandal. Only a circus artist can climb the fence from it, and ordinary wire cutters will not take it.

And, of course, a classic: a fence made of twigs with peaks. It is very insurmountable (if designed correctly), perfectly visible. To enhance the protective effect, you can also plant "particularly harmful" shrubs along it.

Comfortable to overcome

The most easily overcome are wooden fences (if it is not a three-meter fence). A wooden fence is best reinforced with barbed wire. Fence boards should be mounted tightly to each other, leaving no gaps. This is necessary in order to exclude the dismantling of the fence elements using a mount.

Conclusion

Not a single fence will 100% protect property from thieves. But if you leave the dacha for the winter, you must take a full range of security measures. If there are fears that they will crawl into the yard, then for the winter period it is best to re-equip both the fence and the house with the adjacent territory.

Barbed wire can be run in the winter along the perimeter of the entire fence. A couple of Egoza thorn bays are not so expensive. For only 1,500 rubles, you can purchase 100 meters of reliable protection.

Grilles should be installed on windows, doors should be reinforced. Set a loud alarm for opening. Dummies of video cameras can be placed - this also reduces the risk of being robbed.

An excellent preventive measure is performed by spotlights with motion sensors. Such a searchlight can be installed on a house in tandem with a dummy camera - this will mislead lovers of appropriation of someone else's property.
