Anti-climb fencing, sometimes called anti-scale fencing, is built to stop people from getting over or through it. It removes the footholds and handholds that make an ordinary fence easy to climb.
TOWN Fence & Deck installs anti-climb and security fencing for businesses, schools, park districts and homeowners across the western suburbs. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request, and we take on public and prevailing-wage jobs.
Where Anti-Climb Fencing Makes Sense
- Commercial and industrial sites: yards, loading areas and equipment that need to stay secure after hours.
- Schools and parks: perimeter fencing that keeps people out of restricted areas.
- Utilities and storage: enclosures around equipment, generators and storage.
- Pools: pool barriers with no climbable rails on the outside and self-closing gates.
- Homes: extra security for property lines along busy roads, alleys or open land.
Anti-Climb Fence Options
- Narrow-mesh welded wire panels: openings too small for fingers or toes, so the fence cannot be climbed or easily cut.
- Ornamental steel with security tops: vertical pickets with pointed or curved tops and no outside rails to step on.
- Taller heights: where your town allows it, a taller fence makes climbing much harder.
- Secure gates: matching gates with locking hardware, plus automatic gates with keypads, remotes or app access.
- Chain link security enclosures: interior and exterior chain link cages for storage and equipment.
Comparing Security Fence Types
| Fence type | Climb resistance | Visibility | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Narrow-mesh welded wire | Very high | See-through | Commercial, utilities, schools |
| Ornamental steel with security tops | High | See-through | Commercial fronts, parks, upscale homes |
| Chain link | Moderate | See-through | Budget security, enclosures |
| Solid privacy fence | Moderate | Blocks views | Screening, residential |
Height and Material Rules
Towns set limits on fence height and on features like barbed wire, which many villages in our area do not allow on homes. Commercial and industrial properties are often allowed taller fences. We check the code for your property, file the permit, and design a fence that is secure and approved.
For business properties, see our commercial fence contractor page.
How a Project Works
- Free estimate: Adam or Jill walks your property, measures, and talks through styles, heights and gates.
- Written quote: every quote is built for your property. Pricing depends on material, size and the time of year.
- Permits and utility locates: we file the permit with your town and have underground lines marked before we dig.
- Install: our own crew builds it and cleans up when the job is done.
What Our Customers Say
"From the owner Adam coming promptly to give us a bid to the three men who came 3 weeks later to install our 65 feet of black aluminum fencing, everything was done professionally."
Barbara L., Google review"They worked to secure the permit for our fence and quickly scheduled the crew to complete the work within the same week. We're very happy with the timeliness and the quality of our fence."
Tracy W., Google review"TFC installed a 50-foot fence for us last week, removing two old fences, cleaning up the site, and putting in one composite fence to divide our property from the neighbors'... Pricing was fair and competitive."
William G., Google reviewAnti-Climb Fence FAQ
What makes a fence anti-climb?
Small openings and no horizontal rails on the outside, so there is nothing to grab or step on. Pointed or curved tops and extra height add more protection.
Can I put an anti-climb fence around my home?
Often, yes, within your town's height and material rules. Barbed wire is not allowed on homes in many towns.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes, on request. We also take on public and prevailing-wage projects.
Can you add an automatic gate?
Yes. We install driveway gates and gate openers in-house.
