Palisade Fencing
Palisade fencing comprises of robust vertical steel pales secured to horizontal rails to form panels that mount on steel RSJ support posts. It is a popular type of perimeter security fencing when there is a need for higher security and vandal resistance. Difficult to cut and climb because of the high-strength materials and lack of footholds, palisade is a great choice when the primary concern is to keep intruders out.
The steel pales of Procter Contracts palisade fencing can be D-section, W-section for higher security or other sections are also available on request. Pale material thickness depends on the fence height, and the pale head style options are rounded, rounded and notched, single-spiked or splayed triple-spiked. Standard palisade fencing fixings are galvanised steel bolts with tamper-resistant shear nuts, or stainless steel rivets can be used to provide higher security.
Why use palisade fencing?
One of the advantages of palisade over some other types of fencing is that it is easy to add extra security measures. Options range from barbed wire, razor wire and rotating toppings, through to monitored electric pulse fencing, concrete sills and buried pales. The gaps between the pales provide visibility for CCTV or viewing by security guards, provided the angle of incidence is not too great.
Procter Contracts always use our own team of trained installers, not casual labour, so we can guarantee the quality of the installation.
Properly installed, palisade fencing offers long, maintenance-free security fence. Nevertheless, should the steel palisade fence sustain any damage, we can readily replace individual pales or complete panels.
How do you use palisade fencing?
Examples of applications for palisade fencing are highways, railways, utility sites, commercial and industrial premises, airports, docks, waste recycling centres, schools, and sports grounds and leisure facilities. Depending on the project requirements, Procter Contracts can install palisade fencing in heights ranging from 0.9 to 4.0 m on flat, sloping or undulating ground. The standard finish is long-lasting, corrosion-resistant galvanising to BS EN ISO 1461, or we can add polyester powder coating in a range of standard or custom colours of black, green and many more colours.
What are the key features of Procter’s palisade fencing?

Our work
Procter Contracts have been designing, manufacturing and installing fencing for over 100 years, earning ourselves an enviable reputation for quality and customer service. What’s more, our family-owned and run business can trace its roots back to 1740. Today we are a market leader in fencing and gates, so you can be sure that we have the knowledge and experience to meet your requirements for palisade fencing and palisade gates.
A good illustration of our capability is a project in which we supplied and installed palisade fencing and gates for Iron Mountain, a world leader in storage and protection of information and assets. The company’s Aberdeen facility stores information and core samples for the off-shore oil and gas industry. When the site required upgraded security, we provided palisade fencing, a cantilevered sliding gate with palisade infill for vehicular access, and a separate palisade swing gate for pedestrians. The fencing and gates were all finished with a polyester powder coat in a shade of blue that complements the company’s corporate branding. We also supplied and installed Pro-sure358 security mesh fencing for other sections of the site’s perimeter. Iron Mountain was delighted with our work, particularly the speed of installation.
