Rank: Guest		Posted By artisdeeian What is the law regarding putting barbed wire around a Transformer house fence top. If I install 'Warning' signs (Pictogram type) stating the dangers is this sufficient. Regards Ian.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Roger the Dodger You might come unstuck on this one, my understanding is that you are not allowed to 'set traps' - occupiers liability rules will kick in. Think you might be better, trying to stop people climbing in the 1st place.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Gareth Bryan This topic has been covered several times, try a search for the previous threads. Basically Roger is wrong, you can use barbed wire or even razor wire provided that it is above a certain hight (I think it is 2m but not sure) and will not harm people going about their lawful business. Signs should be displayed as you suggest.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Rich Hall its paint that doesnt dry basically , and the pesky naughty burgulars get it all over them thus enabling plod to make a swift arrest, before letting them free to do it again obviously.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Ken Taylor I would go for 2.5m (as 2.4m appears in Highways legislation). You could also try revolving top panels and anti-climb weld-mesh fencing (ie the holes are too small for footholds).

Rank: Guest		Posted By Gareth Bryan We've found that anti climb paint is easily overcome, just throw an old coat or similar over it and away you go !
