1) Tollgate Retail Park, Stanway (Colchester)

Where they’re used: Around service yards, delivery bays, staff parking, and rear-of-house walkways behind the retail units.

Typical security fencing & gates:

• Welded mesh security fencing (often 2.4–3.0m; 656/868 twin-wire or 358 mesh)
• Lockable metal gates for pedestrian/service access
• Electric security gates (commercial) – sliding or tracked for goods-vehicle entrances
• Add-ons: anti-climb fence toppings, CCTV brackets, mag-locks and keypad/FOB control

Purpose & details:

• Create a clear fencing perimeter that separates public shopping areas from loading operations.
• Prevent unauthorised access to stockrooms and back-of-house doors.
• Ensure safe movement of HGVs by controlling access times with automated security gate doors.
• Integrate with fire routes and emergency egress hardware.

Why used here: High footfall, valuable stock, constant deliveries, and multiple tenants sharing back-of-house spaces.

Benefits:

• Visible deterrent to shoplifting gangs and after-hours intruders (metal fencing security).
• Controlled access for tenants and logistics partners (audit trail with automation).
• Durable, low-maintenance finishes (galvanised/powder-coated) suited to retail environments.
• Helps compliance with insurance and landlord estates standards.

2) Severalls Industrial Estate (Northern Colchester)

Where they’re used: Site boundaries of manufacturing units, distribution warehouses, utilities compounds, and fleet yards.

Typical security fencing & gates:

• Steel palisade fencing (D- or W-profile) with matching palisade gates
• Heavy-duty motorised sliding gates or tracked cantilever commercial gates for HGV entrances
• Anti intruder fence options with toppings (spikes/rotating anti-climb), crash-rated barriers at gate lines
• Segregation lines in-yard using mesh security fencing and security fence panels

Purpose & details:

• Protect plant, tooling, and high-value goods stored externally.
• Maintain 24/7 controlled access for shift operations with ANPR, keypad or FOB.
• Integrate with fire-rated doors, roller shutters and yard lighting for a complete perimeter.

Why used here: Larger plots, valuable stock/vehicles, and out-of-hours activity create higher risk profiles.

Benefits:

• High strength and tamper-resistant boundary; excellent delay factor for intruders.
• Smooth HGV flow through wide, automated entrances; reduced congestion at peak times.
• Scalable: easy to extend or re-configure as units expand or tenants change.

Types of Security Fencing & Gate Systems

Welded Mesh Security Fencing
Also known as rigid mesh fencing or twin-wire fencing, this system uses 656 or 868 twin-wire panels, or 358 mesh for higher security. It offers clear visibility with a clean, modern appearance, making it ideal for premises that require security without creating a closed-off feel.
Common applications: business parks, schools, public buildings, sports facilities, warehouses, and logistics hubs.

Steel Palisade Fencing
Constructed from robust vertical steel pales and galvanised components, steel palisade fencing provides high physical strength and a formidable deterrent. Available in D- or W-profile pales, this fencing resists impact, cutting, and scaling.
Common applications: industrial estates, power stations, depots, data centres, and transport infrastructure.

Anti-Climb & Anti-Cut Fencing
Designed for maximum resistance, these systems feature narrow apertures, reinforced joints, and anti-tamper fixings. They are ideal for sites requiring protection against forced entry or vandalism.
Common applications: correctional facilities, high-security compounds, telecom masts, and sensitive government or defence sites.

Electric Security Fencing
Combining physical strength with active deterrence, these systems use electrified wires or integrated detection sensors to trigger alarms upon contact. They can be added to existing fences or supplied as complete electric perimeter systems.
Common applications: high-risk commercial compounds, logistics yards, restricted-access facilities, and secure storage areas.

Mesh Panel Fencing
A versatile, high-visibility option using security fence panels for moderate to high security. Panels can include anti intruder and anti climb enhancements and are compatible with security cameras and lighting systems.
Common applications: car parks, sports grounds, schools, office parks, and light industrial sites.

Metal Security Gates
From lockable metal gates to motorised sliding gates, bi-fold gates, and crash-rated vehicle gates, our range provides safe, efficient access control for any site. All systems can integrate with electric motors, intercoms, ANPR, or access cards.
Common applications: factories, business parks, distribution centres, car dealerships, and storage facilities.

Temporary & Portable Fencing
For sites that need short-term perimeter security, such as construction site fencing, event fencing, or temporary access control, we supply flexible and reusable systems that can be rapidly installed and repositioned.
Common applications: construction projects, civil works, outdoor events, temporary compounds, and maintenance zones.
