Urban Fencing
Shoppings centres for many years had open parking lots where you could park your car outside and spend a few hours in the centre, visiting shops or having lunch. To properly utilise space, parking structures were built. These parking structures had the added benefit of your car being out of the sun and if it rained you wouldn't have to get wet on the way to your car.
Having structures like this meant that malls could now charge for the privilege of undercover parking. An added benefit of this was that car theft from parking lots decreased.
Theft from parked cars, and incidents of smash and grab were still quite prevalent. Thieves could snatch things from vehicles stopped at the traffic light and disappear into the parking lot where it was difficult to chase them.
A solution
A solution to this problem and an increasing trend in new shopping centres as well as those who have begun to be more security conscious is the installation of wire mesh fencing.
Wire mesh fencing is a deterrent to criminal activity on the premises of the shopping centre as well as around the perimetre.
Why use wire mesh fence at a shopping centre?
- Wire mesh fence is not easily breakable
- The small apertures in the fence make it nearly impossible to climb. To someone trying to make a quick getaway it will be like facing a solid brick wall.
- The fence is not visible from a distance, this allows the centre to be seen
- The mesh fence acts as a deterrent because any escape route into the mall and its grounds by criminals in the street outside is effectively cut off.
- Anybody fleeing from the mall grounds will have to follow a route to the gate making it easier for them to be apprehended, this is also a deterrent.
- The wire mesh fence can be painted to suite a particular colour scheme to blend into the background more effectively than it already does.
- Welded mesh fencing is galvanised to prevent rust and requires little to no maintenance.
Wire mesh fencing is a solution that meets bot security and aesthetic requirements, whether it is at home or at a commercial centre. Visit mesh-fencing.co.za and see how you can benfit from the installation of wire mesh fencing at home and at your business.
