Image shows on of the options for a fence that is using material with apertures 13mm or greater.

If a fence has larger than accepted apertures, the height of the fence then becomes critical due to the ease of using the larger apertures to climb.

Image shows the three Non Climable Zones that any barrier less than 1800mm must adhere to

There are three basic NCZ's on a barrier less than 1800mm in height that are all designed to stop children climbing the barrier or using other items near or around the barrier to assist climbing

Non Climbable Zone, No Climbing Zone, NCZ 1, NCZ 2, NCZ 4

Image is showing the effect that the weight of a child could possible have on perforated material. The height of the barrier must not be less than 1200mm even when a weight is applied to the top rail.

Perforated materials used in a barrier are much more likely to be able to be climbed so special attention needs to be taken to the size of the perforations and the rigidity of the panel overall.

Perforated, 12mm
