prettyboi1989: I love your thinking. It's so straight forward. We are talking security here, a security conscious person reason more illogically and less logically to curb insecurity. A see-through fence is the best (as I said), because you need no 'gateman/human guard', your neigbors and passers-by will do the job for you FREELY and at all times . When you have a fully ceiled and very tall fence, you have done 70% of the job for prospective See-through fence really scare away robbers, let me not go much into details here... If u got flashy cars, let them see, afterall they see you drive by, they know your worth. Trust me, get a low fence, make sure ppl can see through, even if u plant flowers around the fence, they mustn't cover the perforated part of the fence; and get GUARD DOGS. 8 Likes 1 Share |

xreal: To each, his own. I will not have a see through fence unless I am in a gated and secured estate where all the inhabitants are of relatively equal means. People get robbed and killed in broad daylight, out in the open, on the highways, on the streets, and an argument is being put forward to rely on the bravado of neighbours to secure one's property? Rows of houses on the same street have been robbed for hours and the residents cower and scamper. In a developing community - the purpose of my fence would be fortification and to repel any form of intrusion into my compound. And then there would be bullet proofed doors every step of the way. Nothing is fool proof, but I would do all I can to protect me and mine. 5 Likes 1 Share |

lumidii: [color=#000099][/color] Thank you lumidii for your beautiful and insightful synopsis Dear op, I believe you need to avail us on the kind of environment where your edifice would be. This information is needed for a purposeful opinion as the kind of people around you would have great influence on your designs and desire. I make bold to say that if you are just among the few rich house owners in your vicinity, kindly disregard any attempt to have a low/ see through fence cos you would definitely become a cynosure of both evil and good eyes. This is just besides the turning of your house to a mecca for those looking for charity from you, knowing fully well your worth from the display of your weatlth. These days men of the underworld would follow you in gently like a member of the family without raising the slightest suspicion. More so, in many cases neighbours uphold the principle of 'to your tent oh Israel' when most crimes are happening. Kindly, know that be it high or low, see through or closed, most perimeter fencings are not fool proof. This reminds me of an attack on a supposed elite . The man had his fence broken at the base by these men of the underworld who came handy with tools. I think they killed his dogs one after the other, disarm his guards and made for the main house door which was bulletproof. As fortified as the house was, they gained entrance through the point where the point where the pipe coming from the water tank goes into the house. Who could have thought about this Achilles heel in a supposedly fortified house! So make the best decision for yourself sir! 2 Likes 1 Share |

qwertygeni: The incident you narrated reminds one of the saying "Security is a chain, and it is only as strong as its weakest link" I have seen people spend so much on supposed security and then undermine that same security by leaving a huge gap elsewhere. It was commonplace for folks to barricade their doors with bolts on the inside, with an unsecured window right next to the door, and a thief just reaches a hand through the window to unlatch the bolts and gain unimpeded access. Even the pic uploaded here by the advertisers of electric fence has a huge gap in between the arched gates and the electric wires and I wonder what's the point. 1 Like |

talking about neighbors, i remember my former residence where most houses in the neighborhood are unfenced, a neighbor shouted barawo at night, as i rushed bare hands from my sleep to help her, i heard the sounds of my neighbors quickly locking their doors. it then dawned on me that I'm on my own, i quickly dashed back indoors and locked my door too.Nigerian neighbors can't be counted up on until we have the right to own guns, simple. 1 Like |
