About EPPA

What Is Perimeter Protection?

EPPA members offer a wide variety of products to meet different levels of outdoor security. They work closely with customers to find bespoke solutions.

Perimeter protection products can be divided into three categories:

  • Boundary demarcation – to signal a limit and create a physical obstacle
  • Protection – to restrict access and make those within feel safe
  • Security – to defend people and their possessions

 

In determining the appropriate type of perimeter protection it is first necessary to understand the customers need and to correctly categorise that need. e.g. to regulate access to a property.

Environmental considerations and product life expectancy could also have a significant impact on the suitability of the product for the application. For example, a high security fence that is situated at a Norwegian coastal port has to meet different criteria to a school fence in a sleepy village in the heart of Spain.
Finally, the way a product is operated can affect its function and vice versa.

EPPA members have a wealth of experience with all types of products and applications whether standard or bespoke solutions are required. They are able to provide valuable advice so that a fitting and cost effective solution can be designed.
