An enhanced security fence for use in high security situations is provided. The fence is made of high strength materials that are preferably welded together in a convenient, location and sent as prefabricated sections to the installation location to form an all welded bracket-less perimeter barrier fence system. Posts with section hangers are provided and installed at a perimeter, and the prefabricated panels are quickly and securely attached to the posts. The panels can be friction fit to the posts and, if desired welded thereto. The invention includes a method of creating an enhanced security fence, that includes prefabrication of panels and rapid, fitting and securing the panels to posts to more quickly create a secure perimeter in places having difficult environments.

Bracket (1) for supporting a wall element (50) between two posts (60) and a system for shielding an area. The bracket (1) which is tube-shaped and arranged to enclose a post (60) comprises a front part (2), a back part (3), and first and second side parts (4, 5). At least one of the first and second side parts (4, 5) comprises a slit (6) with a receiving section (6a) open towards the front part (2) and arranged for receiving a protrusion (51) of a wall element (50). The slit (6) comprises a locking section (6c) for keeping a protrusion (51) of a wall element (50) in a locked position, and is arranged at a first distance (a) from the receiving section (6a) in a first direction (X1) of the bracket (1). The slit (6) comprises a guiding section (6b) arranged between the receiving section (6a) and the locking section (6c) which is arranged for guiding a protrusion (51) from the receiving section (6a) to the locking section (6c). The system comprises a wall element (50) with lower and upper protrusions (51, 52), two posts (60), an upper bracket (20) provided on respective one of the posts (60) in an upper position, and the lower bracket (1) provided on respective one of the posts (60) in a lower position.

A water-ballasted protection barrier array and fencing and gate assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment of the water-ballasted protection barrier array, first fence assemblies are placed in a superjacent relationship with barrier segments to form stacked first fence assembly-barrier segment combinations. The water-ballasted protection barrier array may be constructed by placing second fence assemblies in lateral interposed relationships with two stacked first fence assembly-barrier segment combinations. Alternatively, gate assemblies may be placed in lateral interposed relationships with two stacked first fence assembly-barrier segment combinations to buildout the water-ballasted protection barrier array. A system of connecting lugs and connectors having a common vertical axial alignment such that a connecting rod is inserted therethrough to securably join the components of the water-ballasted protection barrier array.

Systems and methods of fencing systems are provided that incorporate tri-truss assemblies and/or self-closing gates. A tri-truss assembly may provide stability and support to a gate that is part of a portable or temporary fencing system. A tri-truss assembly may be configured to support a self-closing gate that is part of a pool fence. A tri-truss assembly may include three vertical support members. Two of the three vertical support members may include pins configured to be placed within pre-drilled holes in a surface in order to maintain the tri-truss assembly upright. A third vertical support may be a different length (shorter or longer) than the first two vertical support members and include an adjustable foot, such as a threaded bolt, configured to contact the surface and provide additional stability and/or support.

A barrier panel is formed of a first vertical rail member and a second vertical rail member mounted to and extending between a top rail member. The first vertical rail member includes a first web portion and a pair of leg portions extending from the first web portion, and a second web portion disposed spaced apart from the first web portion and between the pair of leg portions. The first web portion and second web portions define a plurality of aligned through holes. A plurality of cables are mounted to and extend between the first vertical rail member and second vertical rail member, wherein a first end of each cable is secured within one set of the aligned first and second through holes and a second end of each cable is secured within an opposite one of the third through holes.

A barrier panel is formed of a first vertical rail member and a second vertical rail member mounted to and extending between top and bottom rail members. At least one vertical support member is also mounted to and extends between the top and bottom rail members. The first and second vertical rail members include first and second openings, respectively, spaced apart along their lengths. Horizontal cables are mounted to and extend between the first vertical rail member and second vertical rail member. A first end of each horizontal cable is secured within one of the first openings in the first vertical rail member and a second end of each horizontal cable is secured within an opposite one of the second openings in the second vertical rail member. Each cable further passes through an additional opening provided in the vertical support member (which is positioned between the first and second vertical rail members).

An enhanced security fence for use in high security situations is provided. The fence is made of high strength materials that are preferably welded together in a convenient location and sent as prefabricated sections to the installation location to form an all welded bracket-less perimeter barrier fence system. Posts with section hangers are provided and installed at a perimeter, and the prefabricated panels are quickly and securely attached to the posts. The panels can be friction fit to the posts and, if desired welded thereto. The invention includes a method of creating an enhanced security fence, that includes prefabrication of panels and rapid fitting and securing the panels to posts to more quickly create a secure perimeter in places having difficult environments.

A mesh panel holder (1) for an edge protection barrier system (30) comprising mesh panels (33) supported on posts (31) by means of the mesh panel holders. The mesh panel holder has a post attachment member (2) and a mesh panel support (3) attached to the post attachment member. The mesh panel support has a mesh panel retainer (4) arranged to pivot between at least a first locked position and a second locked position at different pivotal angles. The mesh panel retainer (4) is arranged to, in the first locked position, enable a mesh panel to be received at the mesh panel support, and, in the second locked position, prevent a received mesh panel from being unintentionally removed from the mesh panel holder. The mesh panel holder includes a resilient locking member (5), wherein unlocking of the mesh panel retainer from the first and second locked positions requires operation of the resilient locking member.
