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.
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.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Mesh | 2" x 1" or 2" x 2", 10ga or 8ga wire |
| Panel height | 4 ft, 7 ft, 10 ft, 12 ft, custom |
| Panel width | 4 ft, 5 ft, 8 ft, 10 ft |
| Finish | Safety yellow or black powder-coat |
| Best for | Tool 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.
| Pattern | 3/4" #9 standard, 1-1/2" #9 for higher-vis |
| Sheet thickness | 9ga to 13ga depending on application |
| Panel height | 7 ft, 10 ft, full-height |
| Finish | Galvanized or powder-coat |
| Best for | High-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.
| Configuration | 2-wall, 3-wall, full-enclosure with roof |
| Door types | Hinged single, hinged double, sliding |
| Lock options | Padlock hasp, key cylinder, card reader bracket |
| Roof | Wire mesh roof for full enclosure |
| Best for | Server 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.
| Footprint | Bay-width or custom dimensions |
| Top | Open-top (sprinkler-compatible) or wire roof |
| Door | Hinged or sliding, padlock-ready |
| Add-ons | Shelving inside, anchor cleats, signage backer |
| Best for | Tenant 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 single | 3-4 ft personnel access, padlock-ready |
| Hinged double | 6-8 ft pallet jack / scissor lift access |
| Sliding | 10-20 ft forklift / vehicle access |
| Hardware | Padlock hasp, key cylinder, panic bar, card-reader-ready |
| Best for | Pick whichever matches your daily traffic pattern |
Pairs with the rack systems we install.
Drawn in. Not bolted on.
Security fencing earns its keep when the zone matters — a tool crib, a high-value SKU cage, a server room, a tenant lock-up. Done right, it is coordinated with the racking, the forklift traffic, and the fire code from the first drawing — part of our design process, not retrofitted around a finished install.
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.
Aligned with the standards we build to: CSA A344-17 (User Guide for Steel Storage Racks), ANSI MH16.1 (Pallet Rack Design Standard), WSIB insured (workplace coverage in good standing), MLITSD-ready (inspection reports formatted for filing), and Bill 41 compliant (Ontario construction reform updates).
