In many cases, property owners limit themselves to building a standard enclosure: a metal fence, mesh, brick wall, or concrete block. These structures visually mark the boundary and create an illusion of security. However, in practice, they cannot withstand a determined intruder. Climbing over a regular fence is easy – especially if it’s low, lacks access control systems, or is shaded. Installing Egoza on a fence transforms a typical barrier into an actual security solution that not only physically prevents intrusion attempts but also has a powerful psychological effect. This is especially important when security needs to be enhanced quickly and reliably without rebuilding the existing infrastructure.
What Installing Egoza on a Fence Provides
The main advantage is the dramatic improvement of perimeter efficiency. A concertina wire barrier mounted along the top edge of a fence forms not just an additional obstacle, but a complete physical and visual deterrent. Sharp blades, dense coils, and the specific spiral shape create a perception of an impenetrable barrier. Any attempt to overcome it involves injury risk and significant time loss, making it highly undesirable for intruders.
Another key benefit is versatility. Egoza can be installed on virtually any type of fencing: corrugated panels, chain-link mesh, brick walls, concrete blocks, or welded sections. Special brackets are used – straight, V-shaped, or outward-angled. These brackets hold the concertina wire (400–600 mm in diameter), forming a raised section and increasing the total fence height by 50–70 cm. This makes climbing much harder, even with improvised tools.
Who Benefits Most and When
For private property owners, Egoza is an optimal way to improve site security without needing to demolish and rebuild a fence. Importantly, it can also be installed on existing fencing with minimal expense. This upgrade is especially relevant when the property is left unattended – during winter, holidays, or the off-season.
At industrial, warehouse, and logistics sites, Egoza helps to quickly reinforce perimeter protection when building a new fence is not feasible in terms of time or budget. It is also a practical solution during maintenance of the primary security system: when surveillance, alarms, or checkpoints are temporarily out of service, physical deterrence becomes crucial.
Another common use case is temporary facility protection: construction sites, hangars, exhibition pavilions, utility zones. Even if these areas are fenced, the fence rarely provides true security. Adding Egoza coils significantly enhances safety without lengthy approvals or design work.
Alternatives and Additional Solutions
If a concertina barrier cannot be installed due to structural limitations (e.g., the fence is too narrow or low), a flat Egoza barrier may be used. It is mounted along the fence line and follows its contour, without increasing the perimeter width or disrupting visual balance. This solution is particularly useful in urban areas and confined spaces.
When the fence is made of mesh or grille, a Egoza razor mesh is effective. It attaches directly to the mesh surface, reinforces it, prevents cutting, and eliminates the possibility of grabbing or hooking. It provides not only intrusion protection but also safeguards the fence itself from vandalism and damage.
What Egoza Installation Achieves
Adding reinforced razor tape to a fence radically changes how the perimeter is perceived. A regular fence is no longer just “decorative” – it becomes a serious engineering security solution. Even if an intruder counts on luck, the appearance of Egoza and its reputation are strong deterrents – no one wants to get caught with cuts and stuck in coils, especially under the gaze of surveillance cameras.
From a practical standpoint, Egoza on a fence solves the problem quickly, without the need for major modifications. It is compatible with most structures, easy to maintain, weather-resistant, and does not require electricity. It is an efficient and cost-effective solution for both private and commercial properties.
