High security fencing does protect the establishments that install it from thieves. Most of the time this type of fencing is put into place to protect the people on the outside from what is on the inside, and to protect the property owner from being sued for injuries sustained on their property.
Most of the time the residential fences are built because people have a dog they want to keep in their yard. They are built so that children are safe when they go outside to play. They are built so that the people that own the property can have gardens and things like this without animals disturbing their plants.
If you are uncertain which type of enclosure you need talk to the supplier of the fencing components. Tell them what your biggest concerns are and they will be able to help you choose the best components for what you need done.
When you are going to install a fence that is meant for a higher level of security you need to have professionals do the installation. These fences are taller than average, their components weigh more than average, and you want to make sure they are correctly installed.
