Perimeter fencing by site: farms, plots, solar plants, factories
Choose a perimeter fence by what it keeps out and how long it must last. SIMO Securon suggests a 6 ft Q-Knotâ„¢ fixed knot fence in Zeta Nova or Alpha for farms with nilgai, Alpha for solar plants, ZS-Knotâ„¢ (Anti Climb) for factories and data centres, and Zeta Nova at 5 ft for plots.
Which perimeter fencing suits each site?
Choose a fence by what it keeps out and how long it must last.
Farms and plantations
Crop loss to nilgai, wild boar, deer and cattle.
Solar parks
Long perimeters around a valuable asset, where replacing the fence mid-life is not an option.
Factories and data centres
People climbing or cutting in.
Highways, railways and utilities
Cattle and people crossing; steel posts stolen for scrap.
Plots, farmhouses and estates
Marking and protecting a boundary without the civil work of a wall.
Forests, wildlife and zoos
Secure containment with an open view.
The suggested designs side by side
Each type of site has a suggested starting design, set by what the fence keeps out and how long it must last. It is a starting point for discussion, not for construction: every job is built to the drawing agreed for it.
| Site | The problem | Suggested fence | Posts and toppings | Usual service |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farms and plantations | Crop loss to nilgai (blue bull), wild boar, deer and stray cattle | Q-Knot graduated grid: Zeta Nova or Alpha at 6 ft for nilgai and cattle; Pi for wild boar and smaller animals, 5 to 6 ft | QvikFixrrâ„¢ GI angle posts every 5 m; RTHTâ„¢ barbed wire where people are also a problem | Supply only with training, or supply and install |
| Plots, farmhouses and estates | Marking and protecting a boundary without the civil work of a wall | Zeta Nova Q-Knot, 5 ft | QvikFixrr GI angle posts every 5 m; RTHT where security matters | Site visit, then supply and install |
| Solar plants | A high-value asset on a long perimeter, where replacing the fence mid-life is not an option | Alpha Q-Knot, 6 ft | QvikFixrr GI angle posts every 5 to 6 m; RTHT barbed wire | Turnkey EPC |
| Factories, warehouses and data centres | People climbing or cutting in | ZS-Knot (Anti Climb) on the 4 x 2 inch anti-climb grid, Alpha, up to 8 ft | QvikFixrr posts; custom posts for 8 ft on orders of 2 km and above; RTHT barbed wire and concertina coil | Survey, then supply and install, or turnkey EPC |
| Highway, railway and utility corridors | Cattle and people crossing; steel posts stolen for scrap | Built to the authority’s specification; Alpha Q-Knot, 6 ft | Pilferage-free: RCC posts and FRP angles to the required specification and applicable standards | To the contract: supply, supply and install, or turnkey EPC |
| Forests, wildlife areas and zoos | Secure containment with an open view | Alpha or Zeta Nova Q-Knot, 8 ft | Posts made to the design, on orders of 2 km and above | Supply and install, or turnkey EPC |
How do you choose a fence for your site?
Three questions decide most fence designs: what the fence keeps out, how long it must last and who will install it.
- What are you keeping out?Animals: Q-Knot. People: ZS-Knot (Anti Climb).
- How long must it last?Choose the grade by its rated life.
- Who will install it?Supply only, supply and install, or turnkey EPC.
The three questions in full
- What are you keeping out? Animals: Q-Knot, on the graduated grid where wild boar and small animals push underneath. People: ZS-Knot (Anti Climb) on the 4 x 2 inch grid, with RTHT barbed wire or concertina coil on top.
- How long must it last? Alpha is rated for 35 years or more, Zeta Nova for 20 years and Pi for 10 years.
- Who will install it? Supply only, with training for your installer; supply and install by trained crews, which suits most sites because correct installation is what lets a fence reach its rated life; or turnkey EPC from survey to handover. See fencing supply, installation and EPC.

FAQ
Questions about fencing by site type
Which fence suits a plot or farmhouse?
For plots and farmhouses, SIMO Securon suggests Zeta Nova Q-Knot at 5 ft, with RTHT barbed wire where security matters, and at least 6 ft wherever nilgai or stray cattle come onto the land. Where the job is keeping people and animals out, it does the work of a compound wall: equivalent strength, twice as fast to install and far less civil work. A wall remains the right choice where privacy or noise matters most.
Plot boundary fencing without a wallWhich fence is used along highway and railway corridors?
Corridor fencing is built to the authority's or contractor's specification. SIMO Securon's suggested design is pilferage-free, for stretches where steel posts are stolen for scrap: RCC posts and FRP angles to the required specification and applicable standards, with Alpha Q-Knot at 6 ft.
Highway and railway fencingWhich fence suits a forest, zoo or wildlife area?
For forests, zoos and wildlife areas, SIMO Securon suggests an 8 ft Q-Knot fence in Alpha or Zeta Nova, which contains animals securely while keeping an open view, with posts made to the design on orders of 2 km and above.
Forest, wildlife and zoo fencingCan SIMO Securon design a fence for an unusual site?
Yes. On fence supply orders of 2 km running length and above, SIMO Securon makes 8 ft posts, special foundations, security accessories and other designs to suit the site.
