Pulished on Aug. 14, 2023

Fence Material

One of the components of airport fencing is the fencing material. Commonly used materials include metals such as steel or aluminum alloys and chain link mesh. Metal fencing has high strength and durability, able to withstand external pressure and withstand harsh weather conditions. The chain link net can provide good visibility and ventilation, and has certain anti-climbing and anti-cutting functions. The choice of fencing material depends on factors such as security needs, budget, and environmental conditions.

support structure

The support structure of an airport fence is a key component in ensuring the stability and robustness of the fence. The supporting structure includes columns, beams and support rods, etc. Columns are usually made of metal and are buried in the ground or secured by anchor bolts. The beams are connected between the posts to support the main structure of the fence. Support poles are used to stabilize the fence and support the installation of the fence material.

Safety accessories

Airport fencing also includes a variety of safety accessories to enhance safety performance and protection. These include a safety top that prevents climbing and leaping. Security tops are typically bayonet-style or angled anti-climbers to prevent trespassing. Additionally, security equipment such as surveillance cameras, sensors and alarm systems can be installed to improve monitoring and response capabilities.

Access Control and Gate Control Systems

The structure of the airport fencing also includes access control and gate control systems to manage and control people and vehicles entering and leaving the airport area. These systems can include access control gates, swipe card systems, biometrics, and more. The access control and access control system is closely integrated with the fence structure to ensure that only authorized personnel and vehicles can enter the airport area, improving security and protection.


By understanding the components and structure of airport fencing, we can better understand its function and purpose. Materials, supporting structures, security accessories and access control systems of airport fencing work together to form a highly secure and reliable fencing system that helps protect the security and safe operation of the airport area.
