Yes, if installed as per our recommendation, SIMO Securon Alpha is specifically designed to withstand impact from large animals including nilgai and wild boars (300-400 kg/m²) common in Indian agricultural regions. The high-tensile wire and fixed knot design create superior resistance without injuring animals.

While barbed wire is a common security solution, fixed knot fencing offers several significant advantages:

• Complete Barrier: Fixed knot fence provides a full barrier without gaps, unlike barbed wire's spaced horizontal lines

• Animal Safety: Non-injurious design prevents harm to livestock and wildlife

• Small Animal Control: Effective against all sizes of animals, including smaller wildlife that can pass between barbed wire strands

• Superior Durability: 10-20 year lifespan vs. 3-5 years for typical barbed wire

• Better Aesthetics: Professional appearance vs. industrial look of barbed wire

While barbed wire typically has a lower initial cost, the total cost of ownership for SIMO Securon fixed knot fence is significantly lower due to its longer lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.

SIMO Securon combines several key advantages that distinguish it from traditional fencing:

• Superior Strength: High-tensile wire (upto 1150-1300 MPa) provides exceptional resistance to impacts and cutting

• Advanced Coating: Galfan (90% Zinc, 10% Aluminum) offers 3-4x better corrosion protection than standard galvanizing for SIMO Securon Alpha and, 120 GSM Zinc coating with wax top-coat for SIMO Securon Zeta Nova

• Fixed Knot Design: Non-slip knot configuration maintains structural integrity under pressure

• Reduced Post Requirements: Up to 50% fewer posts needed (5-6m spacing vs. 2.5m for chain link)

• Variable Spacing: Optimized wire spacing provides greater security where needed while reducing material use

• Long-Term Warranty: 20-year guarantee against red rust formation for SIMO Securon Alpha and 10-year guarantee against red rust formation for SIMO Securon Zeta Nova
