Summary

Chain link, mesh, and woven metal fencing systems are components of access control systems. They define boundaries, channel access and egress, provide visual barriers, support security and safety, and deter and delay intrusion and trespassing. Many styles of chain link, mesh and woven metal fencing systems
are available to the public transportation industry, ranging from very high-security expanded metal mesh to more conventional and cost-effective chain link and woven metal fencing systems.
