In today’s world, installing strong perimeter defences is more critical than ever. As security challenges become more complex and opportunism becomes more creative, relying on traditional fencing may not be enough to keep intruders at bay. This is where perimeter barrier additions come into play on your property—specialised enhancements that upgrade the physical security across your site and provide a psychological deterrent against potential threats.
This article will explore the role of perimeter barrier additions in enhancing your security, focusing on how barrier enhancements can be integrated into existing fencing systems for superior protection. Considering your unique threat levels, we unpack the key benefits of installing these additions and their applications across various industries while showcasing how Cochrane Global’s innovative solutions can fortify your perimeter to meet your unique security demands and threat levels.
Why install Perimeter Barrier Additions?
Barrier additions are not just supplementary features or a nice-to-have atop your existing high-security fencing; they are critical components that enhance the overall effectiveness of your security infrastructure. These additions are designed to complement existing boundary fencing systems by introducing advanced deterrents, which make it more difficult for unauthorised individuals to breach your perimeter and compromise your assets and personnel.
Unlike traditional fencing, which can occasionally be bypassed or compromised, barrier additions add complexity and layers to your security, making intrusions much less likely. They serve as both a physical obstacle and a psychological deterrent, clearly telling potential intruders that your property is well-protected.
Primary Benefits of adding Barrier Additions to your Existing Perimeter
Enhanced Security
Perimeter barrier additions provide an extra layer of security that makes it much harder for intruders to breach your defences. Integrating these enhancements into your existing high-security fences creates a more robust and impenetrable layer of intrusion prevention around your property.
Versatility and Adaptability
When procured from a reputable supplier, these additions are highly versatile and can be customised to suit various environments and security needs. Whether you are securing a high-risk Critical Infrastructure or a commercial property, perimeter barrier additions can be tailored to fit your specific requirements and risk factors.
Psychological Deterrence
Sharp, menacing barriers such as razor wire or angled fence spikes can be a powerful psychological deterrent, discouraging intruders before they attempt to breach the perimeter. ClearVu wall spikes are renowned for stopping intruders in their tracks!
Durability and Low Maintenance
Manufactured and fabricated from high-quality steel materials, perimeter barrier additions are built to last and require minimal maintenance. This durability ensures long-term protection without the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
Industry Applications for Barrier Enhancements
Perimeter barrier enhancements are not confined to high-risk property profiles and can be adapted for various industries, each with unique security challenges. These industries include, and are not limited to:
Government and Defense Facilities: Where the highest level of security is required to protect against various threats, both domestically and from foreign entities.
Commercial Properties, such as warehouses, factories, and data centres, are often targets for theft and vandalism. This can also be integrated into perimeter security for manufacturing to provide advanced protection to sites that overly depend on physical patrols.
Critical Infrastructure: including power stations, water treatment facilities, and other essential services that must be protected from sabotage or terrorist activities to ensure social and economic stability.
Private Properties: Homes, residential developments, and potentially on farms where added security is necessary to protect against intrusions and safeguard valuable assets.

The following products are meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with existing ClearVu fencing and alternative fencing systems, providing an extra layer of defence that exceeds the specific security needs of our clients.
Shark Tooth
Inspired by the jaws of an apex predator, the Shark Tooth is a razor-sharp barrier addition designed to prevent unauthorised access by making fence scaling (from both sides of the perimeter) virtually impossible! Its anti-climb fencing design is ideal for installations atop existing fences, adding a formidable physical deterrent to any perimeter.
Smart Coil
A versatile enhancement that combines concertina razor wire with intelligent features for heightened security. Cochrane’s patented Smart Coil is designed to be installed on high-security fences, providing an impenetrable barrier against intrusion attempts. Its modular design allows easy integration, extension and customisation to fit various security needs.
Electric Smart Coil
An adaptation to the Smart Coil’s design, the Electric Smart Coil integrates an electric fencing component to your perimeter, delivering up to 7,000 volts of electrical current. This feature poses a powerful deterrent to intruders, making it ideal for high-risk areas such as military and defence installations and critical infrastructure.
Spike Rack
These elevated perimeter barrier additions are a robust deterrent that is particularly effective in preventing brazen intruders from climbing or scaling the perimeter fence through grappling hooks. The Spike Rack can be installed on walls or gates to provide a solid defensive measure that resists tampering and scaling.
Castle Spike
The Castle Spike is a design-inspired fence-topping addition that can be installed on various surfaces, including walls, gates, and fences. Its pointed design deters potential intruders by making it nearly impossible to scale without injury, enhancing the perimeter’s overall security. Its ornamental design also makes it an attractive barrier for sites wishing to upgrade their security without sacrificing aesthetics.
