The design includes 80 x 80 mm high-tensile posts on concrete foundations, high-tensile mesh panels with polyester electrostatic coating, 100 mm toughened steel razor spikes along the top, and an anti-dig mesh panel buried at least 600 mm below ground level. Ten gates are included, among them a motorised 15 m sliding main gate with two D20 industrial motors, and several 3 m sliding gates of between 3.9 m and 5 m in length. All fixings must be on the inside of the fence and secured with anti-vandal bolts.
