This presentation reviews the engineering and applicable building standards that modern perimeter systems employ. For projects requiring dumpster, mechanical, or recycling enclosures, or any other building adjacent exterior enclosures, the key is providing robust and long-lasting solutions. This course also provides insight into the human component relative to the need for aesthetics while still fulfilling its intended purpose as a security-based solution.

Learning Objectives:

1. Define the components that make up a fence and differentiating features between styles and application types.

2. Review the standards used in selecting and specifying enclosure systems like fences, gates and trash/ equipment enclosures.

3. Discuss the importance and impact of aesthetics. 

4. Discuss how these products impact security and human behavior.
