The main reason for fencing a property is to provide security from burglars and thieves. This simple reason gives many the idea that any kind of a fence can act as a deterrent for burglars; however, the truth is far from it. In fact, there are a number of fences that can actually aid a burglar in his activities. This is because the three main points to focus on when installing a fence were overlooked:

• Firstly, the fence should be tall enough for a burglar to not get over it (or at least, in areas that restrict overly tall fences, tall enough that it impedes jumping or climbing over it)
• Secondly, it should not create any blind spots for the burglar to hide behind.
• Thirdly, it should encompass the entire property and be firmly entrenched so as to not give the burglar a way to bypass it easily.

  From the above descriptions, it is easy to see that chain-link and colorbond fencing Bunbury, for example, are not ideal types of fences to guard oneself against theft. Chain-link fences are surprisingly easy to cut and remove, whereas colorbond fences are solid and do not allow one to see the other side of the fence (they are, however, ideal for providing privacy). By considering the above three pointers, a perfect fence would meet the following criteria:

• It is at least eight feet tall (or more than three feet tall in areas that restrict tall security fencing).
• The topmost part of the fence provides some sort of security to discourage the trespasser from climbing over it, such as:
• Pointed spikes
• Razor wires
• Anti-climb spikes
• Glass shards
• It has few horizontal railings (these are basically invitations for a burglar to climb over the fence, as they can basically act as foot holds).
• The fencing is a see-through variety, which prevents the burglar from hiding on the other side by not harbouring blind spots.
• The fencing cannot easily be removed manually or cut through with the use of appliances.
• It is safely entrenched in a way that prevents it being removed. The best way to do this is to secure the entire fence with concrete bases, but since this is quite expensive, it is recommended that the fence posts are secured in concrete at the least.
• It does not allow a trespasser to creep under it or dig under it. Concrete bases prevent the latter option; as to prevent the trespasser from creeping under it, making sure that the fence reaches all the way to the ground will be enough (you can include razor wire too, if you want).
