Wall Spikes
Are there restrictions as to where wall spikes can be used? The short answer is yes, however there are a wide range of commercially available wall spikes on the market, offering different levels of protection and with designs suitable for use in different types of location, so there is likely to be an off the shelf solution for you whatever your needs. Less aggressive spikes such as those manufactured from plastic material are widely used to form a protective topping to garden walls or fences and are also often used around the top edge of easily accessed flat roofs, such as those found in the school environment, etc. More aggressive metal type wall spikes are typically used to protect the perimeter of commercial premises and their use is subject to a number of considerations and legal guidelines, such as the minimum height at which they can be installed, the use of warning signs to alert persons to their presence and so on.
Your perimeter is your first line of defence against thieves, vandals and other unwelcome intruders, so fitting wall spikes or some other form of anti-climb product or intruder deterrent typically represents a practical and cost effective investment, whether you are looking to protect your business premises or your home. Wall spikes are just one of a number of types of anti-climb security spike and whilst the name wall spike indicates that they are designed to be mounted on a wall (typically along the top edge), they can often also be found welded or otherwise fixed along the top of steel gates and robust fences.
