Benefits of Using Cobra Spike
Superior Security
The primary purpose of Cobra Spike is to provide superior perimeter protection. The sharp spikes act as a formidable barrier against intruders, making it extremely difficult for anyone to climb over walls or fences topped with these spikes.
Minimal Maintenance
One of the standout features of Cobra Spike is its minimal maintenance requirement. Made from durable materials like hot-dipped galvanised steel and polyester powder coating, these spikes are resistant to rust and corrosion. This ensures that they remain effective and visually appealing for many years without frequent upkeep.
Aesthetic Appeal
While security is paramount, aesthetic appeal should not be overlooked. Cobra Spikes are available in various colours—white, black, green—and can be customised for large orders. This allows property owners to choose a colour that complements their existing fencing or wall design.
Easy Installation
Cobra Spikes are designed for easy installation on top of walls and fencing. However, it’s essential to note that in some cases, the installation of security extras may require planning permission or building regulations approval. If in doubt, consult your relevant local authority department.
Ideal Locations for Cobra Spike Installation
Cobra Spikes are versatile and can be installed in various locations to enhance security:
- Residential Properties: Protect your home from potential intruders by installing Cobra Spikes on boundary walls.
- Commercial Premises: Secure your business premises by adding these spikes to perimeter fencing.
- Public Buildings: Enhance the security of schools, hospitals, and other public buildings.
- Industrial Sites: Safeguard valuable equipment and materials by fortifying industrial sites with these robust spikes.
Safety Precautions
While Cobra Spikes offer excellent security benefits, it’s crucial to ensure safety precautions are taken during installation:
- Danger Signs: We recommend using “danger signs” every 8 – 10 metres along the length where the spikes are installed (please order code 329330).
- Consult Local Authorities: As mentioned earlier, always check with local authorities regarding planning permission or building regulations approval before installation.
