In a quiet residential pocket of Venice, we upgraded the rear alley-facing perimeter with a continuous run of Gothic paired with Classic Short Dual (Black). Mounted along the top edge of a black-stained wood fence, the line remains understated from the street—reading as a clean shadow band—while clearly removing any usable grip points up close.
Back alleys are often low-traffic, low-visibility corridors where an intruder can work unnoticed. This installation addresses that specific risk by eliminating footholds and hook points along the fence cap, effectively shutting down the “starting point” of a climb without introducing a harsh, industrial look.
What the homeowner appreciated most was the balance: a noticeable increase in deterrence with no sacrifice to exterior design. The black finish and low-profile geometry blend into the woodwork, preserving the property’s calm, minimal aesthetic while reinforcing the perimeter with intent.

Client Voice
We wanted stronger security, but we didn’t want it to look aggressive. This raised the deterrence without changing the look of the home.”
