serrated strips

Spiked strips are a tried-and-tested solution when fences, gates, parapets or metal structures require additional protection against climbing over . The spiked design acts as a deterrent, enhances security and complements existing enclosures as a robust, low-maintenance protective measure – in both private and commercial settings.

In metal construction, serrated strips are frequently used where a clear safety benefit is required without the structure becoming unnecessarily complex. Thanks to their linear design, they can be easily integrated into projects – for example, as a top section on gates and fence elements or as a supplementary component along edges and finishes. Depending on the substrate and structure, installation is typically carried out by screwing or welding.

The intended environment plays a key role in the selection: in outdoor applications, corrosion-protected variants are particularly suitable, whilst in indoor settings or where a subsequent coating is applied, untreated material may also be suitable as a base. This allows the serrated strip to be selected to suit the application and the desired appearance – from functional to decorative.

Typical applications

• Climbing protection on fences, gates and railing elements
• Securing wall copings, edges and property boundaries
• Addition to metal structures in commercial and industrial settings
• Retrofitting of existing installations as a rapid safety measure

What to look for when selecting

• Material/protection: suitable for the weather, location and desired finish
• Installation: screw-mounted or welded, depending on the project
• Appearance: functional, classic or modern – coordinated with fence and gate design
• Planning: uniform alignment and a clean finish for a harmonious overall look

Tip: For a seamless result, it’s worth combining with matching fence and gate components as well as suitable fixing and surface treatments. This creates a cohesive system combining security, stability and aesthetics.
