Meet the Castle Fence System
Castle is CerKa Fence Supply’s close-mesh anti-climb fence system.
Its narrow mesh openings create a rigid physical boundary while maintaining visibility through the fence. This combination makes Castle suitable for properties where perimeter observation and restricted climbing opportunities are important.
The Castle system provides:
- Close-mesh welded wire construction
- Small openings that reduce gripping and foothold opportunities
- Visibility through the perimeter
- A rigid, flat panel profile
- A 2,400 mm reference height
- Compatible post and connection options
- Gate and access-control possibilities
- Available security extensions
- A professional higher-security appearance
“Anti-climb” describes the characteristics of the close-mesh design. It does not mean that the fence is impossible to climb, breach or damage.

How Castle Supports Perimeter Security
Restricted Hand and Foot Access
The 12.7 mm dimension creates a narrow opening that is more difficult to grip or use as a foothold than larger open-mesh fencing.
Reduced Opening Size
The close mesh reduces the size of the openings through the fence. This may help limit the passage of certain objects through the panel, depending on their dimensions.
Visibility Through the Perimeter
Castle maintains visual observation through the fence rather than creating a solid wall.
Rigid Panel Construction
The welded horizontal and vertical wires create a rigid, flat security panel.
Tall Reference Configuration
The current Castle panel is 2,400 mm high, supporting projects that require a taller perimeter boundary.
Security-System Integration
Castle can be planned with compatible gates, access hardware, post extensions and other project-specific security components.
The security performance of a fence depends on the complete system—not only the mesh panel.
The Complete Security System Matters
A close-mesh panel alone does not determine the total security performance of the perimeter.
The complete Castle system should consider:
- Panel height
- Panel-to-post connections
- Post dimensions
- Post spacing
- Post foundations or mounting method
- Corners and termination points
- Gate design
- Gate hinges and latches
- Access-control requirements
- Ground clearance
- Security extensions
- Adjacent structures
- Terrain and elevation changes
- Inspection and maintenance
A weak gate, exposed fastener, unsuitable post or excessive ground clearance can reduce the effectiveness of the overall perimeter.
CerKa Fence Supply provides materials and component-sourcing support. Final security design and project suitability must be confirmed by the purchaser, designer, security consultant and installer.
Common Castle Applications
Industrial Facilities
Create a visible, close-mesh perimeter around manufacturing plants, equipment areas, storage properties and industrial yards.
Utility and Infrastructure Sites
Consider Castle for utility properties, infrastructure areas and other controlled locations requiring restricted public access.
Warehouses and Distribution Properties
Define property boundaries, loading areas, inventory yards and restricted zones.
Transportation and Municipal Facilities
Use close-mesh fencing for qualifying municipal, transportation and public-infrastructure applications.
Controlled-Access Properties
Coordinate Castle panels with suitable gates, locking hardware and access-control systems.
Higher-Security Commercial Properties
Consider Castle where conventional open-mesh perimeter fencing does not meet the project’s security objectives.
Institutional Applications
Castle may be considered for qualifying institutional or public-sector projects, subject to the applicable specification and safety requirements.
The product should not be represented as approved for a specific security level, government classification or regulated application unless the necessary testing and documentation have been confirmed.
Everything Needed to Complete Castle
A complete Castle perimeter requires compatible supporting components.
CerKa Fence Supply can help organize the following product categories into one quotation.
Castle Panels
Determine panel quantities using the fence length, layout, gate openings, corners, ends and partial-panel requirements.
Line, Corner and End Posts
Post dimensions and spacing must support the selected fence height, connection method and project conditions.
Gate Posts
Gate posts may require different dimensions, reinforcement or foundations from standard fence-line posts.
Secure Panel Connections
Compatible clamps, brackets, cover plates and fasteners connect Castle panels to the posts.
Connection hardware must be reviewed for:
- Compatibility with the 4 mm wires
- Compatibility with the post dimensions
- Fastener type
- Fastener accessibility
- Tamper-resistance requirements
- Required coating or finish
- Panel overlap or connection arrangement
- Project security specification
Post Caps
Compatible caps finish and protect the open tops of the selected posts.
Pedestrian and Vehicle Gates
Coordinate Castle gate infill with appropriate gate frames, posts, hinges, locking hardware and access requirements.
Security Extensions
Post extensions or security arms may be available for projects requiring an additional top-of-fence barrier.
Additional Security Components
Depending on the project, the system may need to coordinate with:
- Access-control hardware
- Locking systems
- Ground barriers
- Vehicle-control products
- Surveillance systems
- Warning signage
- Other perimeter-security measures
Availability and compatibility must be confirmed during the quotation process.
Castle Posts and Installation Planning
The current Castle reference drawing shows:
- Square steel post section: 50 × 50 mm
- Post wall thickness: 3.0 mm
- Reference post length: 2,730 mm
Because the reference panel is 2,400 mm high, the 2,730 mm post length provides only 330 mm of additional total length.
This reference dimension must not be interpreted as a universal embedded-post specification.
The final post configuration may depend on:
- Required finished fence height
- Concrete embedment
- Surface-mounted base plates
- Foundation design
- Soil conditions
- Frost conditions
- Wind exposure
- Post spacing
- Panel connection method
- Gate loads
- Security extensions
- Terrain changes
- Engineering requirements
- Project specifications
CerKa Fence Supply will confirm the quoted post configuration. The purchaser, project designer and installer must confirm its suitability for the intended installation.
Castle Panel Connections
The connection between the panel and post is a critical part of the Castle fence system.
The selected fitting should:
- Match the approved post dimensions
- Secure the close-mesh panel correctly
- Use compatible fasteners
- Match the required finish
- Account for corners and termination points
- Meet the project’s tamper-resistance requirements
- Allow the specified panel alignment
- Follow the approved installation detail
CerKa’s current fitting drawing and panel-post drawings must be checked together before a specific bracket or clamp is published as compatible.
Do not select Castle fittings based only on a generic photograph.
Castle Security Extensions
Top-of-fence extensions may be considered when the project requires an additional perimeter barrier.
Available configurations may include project-specific:
- Straight extensions
- Angled extensions
- Single-arm extensions
- Compatible security wire supports
- Other approved top-of-fence components
The extension direction, angle, height, material and legal suitability must be confirmed before ordering or installation.
Security extensions must not create an unsafe or prohibited condition. Applicable property, building and safety requirements remain the responsibility of the project owner, designer and installer.
Gates for the Castle Fence System
Every access opening must be considered part of the security perimeter.
Castle pedestrian and vehicle gates can be planned with compatible close-mesh infill and project-specific hardware.
A gate package may require:
- Single or double gate leaves
- Castle 358 infill
- Gate posts
- Hinges
- Latches
- Locking hardware
- Drop rods
- Gate stops
- Hold-open hardware
- Anti-lift features
- Access-control components
- Manual or automated operation
When requesting a Castle gate quotation, provide:
- Number of gates

Castle should be selected when the security specification requires a close-mesh welded wire panel rather than a general-purpose open-mesh panel.
Colours, Coatings and Finishes
The protective finish contributes to the appearance and service life of the Castle system.
Available colours, coating systems and finishes may vary according to the product, quantity, environment and project specification.
When requesting a quotation, identify:
- Preferred colour
- Required coating or finish
- Environmental exposure
- Indoor or outdoor application
- Project specification
- Required testing or documentation
- Warranty requirements
The exact finish must be confirmed in the CerKa Fence Supply quotation. Website photographs and digital screens may not accurately represent the final colour, texture or coating.
Is Castle a Privacy Fence?
Castle is a close-mesh security fence, but it is not a solid privacy fence.
The narrow mesh reduces the size of the panel openings while still allowing visibility through the perimeter.
Standard privacy slats designed for larger mesh openings may not be compatible with the Castle panel.
If the project requires both anti-climb characteristics and privacy, identify this requirement during the quotation process so compatible options and their effect on wind loading can be evaluated.
