Construction Will Begin This Summer to Make White House Fence Taller

​From "Construction Will Begin This Summer to Make White House Fence Taller"
Washington Post (05/24/19) Hedgpeth, Dana

The White House perimeter fence is up for a replacement with a structure that will be about 13 feet tall, an increase of about five feet.
The changes are intended to keep out intruders after the arrests of several people who have tried to scale the fence in recent years.
The Secret Service and the National Park Service, which maintains the White House grounds, received final approval in 2017 from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and National Capital Planning Commission to move forward with building what officials called a “tougher, taller and stronger” fence.
Other changes will include wider and stronger fence pickets, as well as sharper points at the top — described in a National Capital Planning Commission report as “pencil point anti-climb measures intended to deter climbers from grasping the top bar.”
Thomas Luebke, secretary of the fine arts commission, said the White House is not alone in having increased security measures, citing the Escorial near Madrid and the fence around Buckingham Palace. “It’s part of the physical impact to the city that’s inevitable with increased security,” he said. “We’ve seen this over the last 18 years in public buildings and public space, and this is just one more part.”

Adscaff design tensile strength exceeds the Workplace Health and Safety ‘minimum tensile breaking force requirement of 2 kilo-newton’s (kN) per strand’ whilst incorporating an additional AS/NZS 1170 variability factor of kt of 1.33. Tensile strength as tested through NATA accredited testers ‘Melbourne Testing Services’ recorded 3.2 kN and 2.9 kN breaking force per strand in the longitudinal and transverse directions respectively exceeding the base 2kN requirement.

Tourists may find it harder to get that perfect snap of the White House after construction begins on a new 13-foot fence, almost double its current height, to help keep intruders out.

The White House fence is currently being supplanted under the course of the U.S. Secret Service and the National Park Service. The move comes after a progression of safety breaks throughout the long term, including a 2014 episode when a Texas man scaled the fence and made it into the White House prior to being halted.

The initial segment of the substitution hindrance is as of now up. At 13 feet tall, it's practically twofold the current 6-feet 6-inch tall fence. The posts are thicker and more grounded, and consolidate hostile to climb and against interruption innovation.
