Security fencing.
Wire mesh partitions, expanded metal, welded mesh, cages, gates. Lock down high-value inventory, dock zones, and IT cabinets — drawn into the rack install, not bolted on after.
A controlled enclosure, drawn into the layout.
Security fencing is the way you turn a piece of your floor into a controlled zone — a tool crib, a secure dock cage, a server room enclosure, a hazardous-material area. Wire mesh lets supervisors see through. Solid panels stop sight-lines. Cages keep specific SKUs separated.
416 designs fencing into the rack install. Posts land where the rack column grid lets them. Gates open where forklift traffic doesn't fight them. Mesh height matches the surrounding rack so sight-lines and sprinkler patterns work.
One trade, one drawing, one permit, one install crew.
- Welded wire meshStandard 2" x 1" or 2" x 2" mesh on 10ga or 8ga wire. Best general-purpose fencing.
- Expanded metalPunched + stretched flat sheet. Heavier-gauge, harder to cut through. Used for high-security cages.
- Modular panels4', 5', 8', 10' panel widths. Posts every panel. Field-relocatable.
- Roof + ceiling optionsFull-enclosure cages get a wire-mesh roof. Required where sprinkler shadow isn't a problem.
- Powder-coat safety yellow or blackYellow for high-vis warehouses. Black for office-side or front-of-house enclosures.
Five configurations we build.
Standard welded mesh.
The default. Welded steel wire grid on a tube-steel frame, mounted to floor-anchored posts. Sight-through so supervisors can monitor without entering. Sprinkler water passes through.
- Mesh2" x 1" or 2" x 2", 10ga or 8ga wire
- Panel height4 ft, 7 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, custom
- Panel width4 ft, 5 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft
- FinishSafety yellow or black powder-coat
- Best forTool cribs, secure storage zones, IT rooms
Expanded metal.
Heavier-duty alternative to welded mesh. Punched + stretched steel sheet. Smaller openings make it harder to defeat with hand tools — used where the goods inside are valuable enough to attract focused effort.
- Pattern3/4" #9 standard, 1-1/2" #9 for higher-vis
- Sheet thickness9ga to 13ga depending on application
- Panel height7 ft, 10 ft, full-height
- FinishGalvanized or powder-coat
- Best forHigh-value SKU cages, narcotics rooms, evidence storage
Wire mesh partitions.
Floor-to-ceiling room dividers in welded wire. Used to carve a portion of the warehouse into a separate enclosure — server room, parts crib, hazardous-material room. Sliding or hinged door integrated.
- Configuration2-wall, 3-wall, full-enclosure with roof
- Door typesHinged single, hinged double, sliding
- Lock optionsPadlock hasp, key cylinder, card reader bracket
- RoofWire mesh roof for full enclosure
- Best forServer rooms, parts cribs, secure office zones
Storage cages.
Smaller modular cages built around specific rack bays or floor zones. Locked individual cages for tenant storage, contractor stock, returned-goods quarantine, or dispute-hold inventory.
- FootprintBay-width or custom dimensions
- TopOpen-top (sprinkler-compatible) or wire roof
- DoorHinged or sliding, padlock-ready
- Add-onsShelving inside, anchor cleats, signage backer
- Best forTenant storage, contractor lock-ups, quarantine zones
Gate options.
Every fence needs a way in. 416 spec's the gate type per traffic frequency, vehicle type, and lock requirement.
- Hinged single3-4 ft personnel access, padlock-ready
- Hinged double6-8 ft pallet jack / scissor lift access
- Sliding10-20 ft forklift / vehicle access
- HardwarePadlock hasp, key cylinder, panic bar, card-reader-ready
- Best forPick whichever matches your daily traffic pattern
Drawn in. Not bolted on.
Posts land in the rack grid
Fence posts are coordinated with the rack column grid + aisle clearance. No post inside a forklift turning radius. No anchor in an under-spec slab zone.
Fire code compatible
Mesh tops on enclosures are checked against sprinkler shadow. Solid roofs need in-cage sprinkler heads — 416 flags this to the sprinkler trade before the install.
Slab-anchored, plumb, level
Every post anchored with wedge or sleeve bolts to manufacturer torque spec. Plumb checked on install. No leaning panels at turnover.
Same salaried crew
Fencing installs during the rack mobilization or as a follow-on with the same crew. No sub-contracted day-rate labour.
