Security Fencing & Gates

Palisade & Maxiguard Fencing

Palisade and Maxiguard® are strong, robust, steel pale, post and rail fence systems which rake to sloping ground. They are a rigid bolted fence system with anti-tamper shear nuts. Palisade is a straight pale design, and Maxiguard® provides increased scaling difficulty with an attack side outwardly curved pale top. We have our own in-house pale rolling beds which can produce around 800 pales per day, so supply is very quick.

Our designs are based on British Standard BS1722-12:2006 Specification for Steel Palisade Fences, with numerous design options available. We make British Standard Security Purpose (SP), General Purpose (GP) and our own Commercial Grade (CG). Please contact us so we can help you with which best fits your need and budget.

Pales are in a ‘W’ profile which provide great strength. You have the choice of 3mm, 2.5mm and 2mm pale thickness, and triple point, single point or flat pale tops. Extra fence hardening and strengthening can be added with Gryffin’s Enclosure® system or cable ram-resistant system.

Powder Coating
Gryffin’s standard process is to powder coat over a galvanized finish, to provide a duplex system, where the galvanization provides corrosion protection should the powder coat surface be penetrated and the powder coat top coat provides aesthetic appeal and or additional weathering protection. Gryffin follows third party supplier galvanization and powder coating standards, and only uses Certified Powder Coat Applicators.

Standard powder coating is suitable for general non-corrosive environments, and greater than 1 km from the sea. No Warranty provided.

Harsh environment powder coat options with Warranty available on request. Conditions apply.
Standard powder coat details:

  • Hot degrease and iron phosphate clean
  • First clean water rinse
  • Second clean water rinse
  • Dry and degas material in dry off oven
  • Powder coat to 70 +/- 10 microns
  • Cure material in cure oven to powder manufacturers specification
  • Pack all product with protective packaging for transport
  • Complies to AS4506-2005.

Touch Up
Galvanized finish: Following installation of all fasteners, break off points should be treated with a generous coating of zinc rich cold galvanizing paint.

Powder coat finish: As above with the addition of a matching colour touch up paint.

Also available:
Gryffin designs, engineers and manufactures to any requirement and specification required.
