Which of the following statements about fences is/are correct ?
1. Fences are the first line of protection
2. Fence posts should be placed at least 30 feet apart
3. Anti-climb paints should be used in fences as an additional measure of security
Select the correct answer using the code given below :
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: In physical security, perimeter fencing is considered the first line of protection (or defense), serving to define boundaries, deter casual intruders, and delay forced entry.
Statement 2 is incorrect: For a security fence to be effective and structurally sound, fence posts should typically be placed no more than 8 to 10 feet apart. A spacing of 30 feet would make the fence unstable, easy to bypass, and unable to maintain proper wire tension.
Statement 3 is correct: Anti-climb paint (non-drying paint) is a recognized security measure. It remains greasy and slippery, making it difficult for an intruder to gain a grip or foothold, and it also stains the clothing/skin of the intruder, aiding in identification.
