At Corden Perimeter Systems we supply Vandgard anti climb security systems designed to provide an effective and compliant solution for preventing unauthorised access across a wide range of sites.
Vandgard is a freely rotating anti-scaling barrier that removes any stable foothold for intruders. When pressure is applied, the system rotates, making climbing extremely difficult while acting as a strong visual deterrent.
Unlike traditional security toppings such as spikes or razor wire, Vandgard is designed to be non-injurious, making it suitable for environments where safety and public liability are key considerations.

It is particularly suitable for locations where public liability legislation applies or where a less aggressive security solution is required.
Vandgard vs razor wire vs spikes
Different anti-climb systems offer varying levels of security and safety depending on the application.
Vandgard anti climb system
Provides a rotating barrier that prevents climbing without causing injury. Ideal for public-facing environments where safety and compliance are important.
Razor wire
Offers a high level of security and deterrence but is aggressive in appearance and can pose a risk of injury. Typically used in high-security or restricted-access environments.
Security spikes
Provide a visual deterrent and basic anti-climb protection. Suitable for lower-risk applications but offer less resistance compared to rotating or high-security systems.
Choosing the right system depends on the level of security required, site conditions, and safety considerations.
Complementary perimeter security products
Vandgard can be used alongside other perimeter systems to create a complete solution, including:
