You can choose between barriers and turnstiles, a solid sliding gate or swing gate, or an efficient speed gate. Many businesses are struggling to identify the most appropriate solution for protecting their site. In this blog post, we explain the pros and cons of the various options available and give pointers on how to make the right choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to site security, many businesses immediately think of fences, detection systems, cameras, security protocols, security staff, and other resources. However, safe and secure perimeters also depend on how you manage access to your site. Just a few of the alternatives are swing gates for pedestrians, barriers for vehicles, and gates to close off the entire perimeter. I will explain in simple terms below what each of these categories involves.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heras.co.uk\/products\/entrance-control\/sliding-gates\/\"><strong>Sliding gates<\/strong><\/a> are solid barriers that offer a wide entrance &#8211; often practical when large vehicles need to simultaneously enter\/exit your site. These gates generally close at speeds of 25 centimetres per second (default speed), and in some cases as fast as 50 centimetres per second. Sliding gates are better equipped to close off relatively large openings in the perimeter compared to speed gates, but they do require more space than other gate types. Large sliding gates, when combined with a barrier, can be left open during the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white;margin: 0cm 0cm 18.0pt 0cm\"><em><span style=\"font-family: Roboto;color: black\">The text continues below the images.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many ways to manage access to your site.
