ABOUT GIBRALTAR’S GIDEON™ FENCE SYSTEM
The patent pending Gideon™ Fence System is an innovative steel fence framework capable of accepting multiple facades. Clients can choose from 8’-0” Height to 12’-0” Height on most systems with palisade pales, 358 welded wire mesh, and expanded metal façades. For the palisade options, Gibraltar offers standard spacing of 6” on center and options for climb resistance with 4” on center pale spacing along with curved and straight pales. All Gideon™ Fence Systems utilize proprietary Huck® Fasteners saving labor and time on installation, while maintaining tamper-proof security requirements. This allows facilities to have higher anti-personnel protection. Standard post spacing for the Gideon™ Fence System is 10’-0” on center, saving installers 20% on holes and concrete when compared to systems with 8’-0” on center post spacing.
Gibraltar’s Gideon™ Fence System is designed so there are no gaps in palisade pale spacing at any posts. The design at the connection post allows for a 1-¼” tolerance in the field. The system provides a clean aesthetic finish and can be designed into perimeters with our passive vehicle barriers. Clients can choose from a standard galvanized finish or RAL color specific finishes which include both wet coat applications with Carboline® Carboquick 200 or TIGER Drylac® polyester powder coat finishes.
Our Gideon™ Fence System utilizes a 3” C-Channel Rail that can support up to 540 lbs. with no permanent deflection and less than ¼” of deflection when the weight is applied. This C-Channel can also support two 1” conduits inside the rail for perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) or fiber runs for cameras and perimeter security equipment.
The Gideon™ Fence System is offered in a 2-rail or 3-rail design depending on height and client need.
Gibraltar has also breach test certified two versions of the Gideon™ Fence System to LPS 1175: Issue 8.2 B3 (SR2) Certifications. This certification is provided through the Loss Prevention Certification Board and requires annual audits of facility and products.
Our Gideon™ Fence System – Palisade 12 carries the B3 (SR2) certification as does our welded wire mesh variant the Gideon™ Fence System – Rigid Welded Mesh 10. Both of these systems are 3-rail designs that have additional features and hardware that are included that exceed the performance of the standard Gideon™ Fence System configurations. Both systems are designed to delay an attacker with hand tools for a minimum of 3 minutes to breach a hole sized for the torso of a person to fit through. This delay gives time for sites with perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) to send a response to the area and intercept any intruder before gaining entry to a facility perimeter.
Gibraltar offers these fence systems in options to meet Buy American requirements as well as import options.
