Ameristar Perimeter Security, a Five-Time Award Winner in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is thrilled to release the new features of the Ameristar WireWorks Anti-Climb Welded Wire Fence.

The WireWorks Anti-Climb fence is a unique perimeter security product that maintains a guarded display of visual screening balancing the need to delay and deter an attack.

The distinguishing feature of WireWorks Anti-Climb is the anti-scale and anti-cut welded wire mesh.

This makes it very difficult to get a foothold on this fence, and the cutting implements required to sever its welded heavy steel wire cannot fit into the minimal spaces of the mesh.
