Actually the design of the fence is wrong, every gap should be big enough for a camera lens. If they don't want people in some areas they need a solid wall or dense vegetation.
A few decades ago someone decided chain link fences should be at a 2" hole size which worked well for keeping tennis and other balls going astray. In other applications they just use the standard stuff. Nobody had cameras in 1941 or whenever it was this fencing became popular, so 2" holes have persisted, QWERTY style.
You would need a different machine for making a 10cm hole size but it would be cheaper.
- michaelt 7y agoPerhaps they chose a hole size that's hard to fit a shoe into, to make climbing over difficult? Of course, dense vegetation would be even better, as you say.
- Theodores 7y agoTrue, that is probably the reason why 2" is the hole size. It has been a while since I have bypassed a fence and it would be negligent to have something that worked as good as a ladder! Normally you find an area that can be lifted up and you can expect barbed wire at the top, climbing is out the question though. I would go for the bigger holes if it was my fence just so people don't vandalise it by lifting it or cutting the wire.
