Electric Security Fence: A Proven First Line of Defense
Electric security fences are a powerful deterrent and one of the most effective ways to secure a construction site. Designed for temporary or permanent use, our electric perimeter fences deliver a non-lethal shock to anyone attempting to breach the boundary. The presence alone of a high-voltage barrier, clearly marked and professionally installed, is often enough to send would-be intruders packing.
We use state-of-the-art fencing and hardware from Gallagher Security. Paired with our team’s local expertise and professional installation, the result is perimeter security solutions that are rugged, reliable, and fully compliant with all local codes. Because we’re a locally owned and operated company, we understand the unique challenges of securing job sites in our region—and we’re just a phone call away when you need us.
Security Gate & Access’s electric perimeter systems provide a highly visible, physical, and psychological barrier. We also offer portable security fence systems, including electrified solutions, so that your security can move with you. Our systems:
-
-
-
- Deter intruders with warning signage and a physical electric deterrent
- Trigger alarm systems the moment the fence is touched or tampered with
- Integrate seamlessly with access control systems and construction site security cameras for real-time monitoring and comprehensive protection

Electric Fences in the Tacoma Area
Unfortunately, Tacoma is a city well-known for high crime rates, including property crime rates that continue to outpace the national average. Your chances of experiencing property crime in Tacoma are 1 in 14. Those aren’t good odds, and when your property is a job site holding lots of valuable materials and equipment out in the open, you’re at an added disadvantage. From construction equipment theft to vandalism and unauthorized access, job site security in Tacoma has never been more essential.
That’s where Security Gate & Access steps in—with electric fencing solutions that are now even more accessible thanks to a recent change in Washington state law. The recent passage of SHB 1304 makes it easier than ever for contractors, property managers, and business owners to protect their job sites with electric security fences.
New WA Legislation for Electric Fences
As of 2024, Washington state law now overrides outdated local codes that restricted electric fence installation. The new statewide standard allows for the use of electric security alarm systems on manufacturing, industrial, and outdoor storage properties. Under the new law:
- Cities and counties cannot prohibit electric fencing that meets IEC safety standards.
- The law sets clear rules for installation height, signage, and power limits, ensuring safety while maintaining strong deterrence.
- No permits are required beyond a basic security alarm permit, and fees are capped to keep compliance affordable.
That means your Tacoma job site can now benefit from the same electric fencing solutions trusted on commercial and industrial properties across the state, with fewer red tape hurdles and faster installation timelines.

Construction Site Security Cameras and Monitoring
In our experience, electric perimeter fencing is the strongest protection for your jobsite. However, it can be made even more robust with additional measures to create a comprehensive security system. We also offer jobsite security cameras and surveillance systems that integrate seamlessly with your perimeter defenses. From solar-powered mobile camera towers to motion-activated alerts and cloud-based video storage, our systems provide real-time insights so you always know what’s happening on your job site—even when you’re not there.
With construction site security cameras, you can:
- Monitor employee activity and deliveries
- Deter vandalism and theft
- Provide video evidence for insurance or law enforcement
- Reduce liability and improve site safety
We’ll help you design a system that fits your needs and budget, combining fencing, cameras, and other security measures for a multi-layered approach to jobsite security.
