Discreet anti-climb detailing: Ninja Deterrent™ Gothic Black crowns the wood gate and fence.
Context & Objective
Set within a quiet residential pocket of Mid-City Los Angeles, the homeowner wanted a design-first way to secure the side yard. The brief called for a solution that would blend with the home’s chic stucco palette and black wrought-iron accents, while stopping casual climbs and tampering at the side gate.
Design & Installation
We installed Ninja Deterrent™ Gotic Black— profile in matte black—along the top of the wood gate and the adjoining fence on both sides. The heart-cut peaks form a clean silhouette that reads like a refined cap, yet blocks hand purchase effectively. The black finish ties into the window grilles and hardware, keeping the look cohesive and calm.
Heart-cut rhythm + matte black = a slim architectural line that discourages grip.Continuous coverage across the gate leaf and fence returns—no weak points at transitions.Compact peak spacing removes footholds while keeping a low visual profile.The deterrent reads as a neat cap from the sidewalk—quiet from afar, decisive up close.
Model: Gothic Black
Finish: Matte Black, outdoor-rated powder coat
Scope: Side gate top edge + left/right fence returns
Aesthetic: Complements stucco + wrought-iron accents; maintains warm wood character
Outcome: Owner reports no burglary or vandalism incidents since installation
“It looks like part of the design—subtle but clearly secure. Since the install we’ve had no break-ins or even pranks. Stylish protection really does make everyday life easier.”

This project was carried out at a medical cannabis dispensary located just outside downtown Portland, North East Sandy Blvd. Cannabis shops often face elevated security risks due to their high-value inventory and cash-heavy operations. The store management sought a solution to protect the building’s perimeter—especially the roofline and vertical drainpipe areas that could serve as climbing points for intruders.
To address these concerns, Ninja Deterrent™ stainless-steel anti-climb spikes were installed along the roof parapet, combined with barbed wire around the upper section of the drainpipe. This created a strong, layered defense against unauthorized entry.
Installation Details
