What Is FE6 Security Fencing?
FE6 designates a specific variety of security fence as recognized by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This chain link fence has several additional features that make it sturdier and more secure than other fences.
Construction
An FE6 fence is made up of 2-inch chain mesh supported on posts no farther than 10 feet apart. Each section of fence is braced by two rails and a truss for added stability.
Security
The most striking feature of an FE6 fence is the three stacked strands of barbed wire strung along the fence's top and kept straight by bracing arms at the top of each post. The wire protrudes outward at a 45-degree angle to further deter intruders.
Similar Fences
The FE6 is one of several fence models with similar designations. The FE5 shares many construction features with the FE6, but lacks the barbed wire. An FE7 fence has the FE6's three strands of barbed wire, while the FE8 uses them in addition to a large coiled roll.
