A commonly prescribed height for an airport perimeter barrier includes an 8 ft wall or fence topped with an additional 1½ ft of concertina coil overhang.
Airport perimeter barriers are designed to deter and prevent unauthorized entry. The height and design, including the use of difficult-to-climb elements like concertina wire, are standardized to provide a significant physical obstacle. The concertina coil effectively increases the overall barrier height and makes climbing much more hazardous.
