What Are Fence Spikes and How Do They Work?

Fence spikes, also called anti-climb spikes, are pointed fittings fixed along the top of a fence, wall or gate. They take away the one thing every climber needs: a safe hand- or foot-hold.

Most break-ins happen in seconds, with a grip on the top rail, a boost, and someone's over. Spikes for fence tops close that gap, turning a fast, easy climb into something slow and too risky to bother with.

That's the whole job of a good anti-climb spike: to make your fence less inviting to climb than the one next door.

Where to Use Anti-Climb Spikes

Are Fence Spikes Legal in Australia?

Yes, in most cases, but check your local rules before you order.

As a property owner, you generally have the right to install a deterrent like fence spikes on your boundary, as part of your duty of care to keep your property secure. Councils mainly look at whether spikes create an unreasonable hazard to people with a legal right to be near your fence, such as posties or pedestrians on a footpath.

To stay on the safe side:

  • Mount spikes above around 2 metres, out of casual reach.
  • Add warning signage on public-facing fences.
  • Check your council and body corporate rules, since these vary by state.

If unsure, a quick call to your local council will confirm what applies to your street.

Fence Spikes FAQs

Are fence security spikes legal in Australia?

Yes, generally, as a deterrent on your own boundary, provided they don't create an unreasonable hazard. Rules vary by council, so check before you install.

How high should I install anti-climb fence spikes?

Above around 2 metres, out of easy reach, with warning signage where the fence faces a public footpath.

What are Sharkguard™ fence spikes made of?

Our metal fence spikes are made from laser-cut galvanised steel, chosen for strength, rust resistance and a long life outdoors.

Do security fence spikes actually deter intruders?

Yes. Removing a safe hand- or foot-hold with fence spikes makes climbing slower and more obvious, which usually sends intruders elsewhere.

Which product should I choose, Mako, Bull, Great White or Megalodon?

Mako suits standard homes, Bull suits higher-risk properties, Great White is our most popular all-rounder, and Megalodon suits commercial sites. If you’re unsure which anti-climb spike to go with, our team can guide you to the right product for your home.

Can spikes for fence tops be fitted to Colorbond, timber and brick fences?

Yes. Our mounts cover timber, Colorbond, steel fencing and brick or besser-block walls.

How do I measure my fence for spikes?

Watch our How to Measure video, or call 1800 174 275 for a hand.

Do you ship Australia-wide and install in Melbourne?

Yes. Sharkguard™ offers Australia-wide shipping, plus a free install quote for Melbourne properties.

How much do metal fence spikes for security cost?
