Pioneering Fencing Project for Vitry Centre Metro Station in Paris
We are proud to announce the completion of an innovative project for the Vitry Centre metro station in Paris, setting new standards in the fields of public space safety and aesthetics. As pioneers in the retractable fencing industry, our company has introduced a unique solution that perfectly fits the specific architectural requirements of the location, while offering unparalleled protection against unauthorized access.
Unique Shape of the Main Entrance and the World’s Only Ground Retractable Gate Solution
The project for the Vitry Centre metro station posed a unique challenge due to the distinctive shape of the main entrance, which required a custom approach. Thanks to the advanced technology of ground retractable fences offered by Fancy Fence, a system was created that not only secures the main entrance to the metro station but also harmoniously blends with the surroundings, maintaining its aesthetic character.
The system developed by Fancy Fence consists of 5 independent sections of ground retractable fences, which can be controlled both individually and collectively. This modular design not only provides flexibility in access control but also allows for adaptation to varying ground heights, which was crucial for the Vitry Centre metro station project. Moreover, the system offers the option of opening only the central section, which is particularly useful in cases requiring increased access control.
Advanced Security Systems
The application of cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced 3D laser security systems and additional protections to prevent small objects from falling into the mechanism, elevates the functionality of the fencing to an unprecedented level. The use of highest quality materials, including 316 stainless steel, ensures long-lasting durability and resistance to weather conditions.
In the event of a power failure, the Fancy Fence fencing system can be powered by an emergency energy source, ensuring uninterrupted protection. In the last resort, despite its mass (over 1000 kg), the gate can be manually operated by an authorized operator, adding an extra layer of security.
Fancy Fence Technology Applied to the Protection of Public Spaces
The ground retractable fencing project for the Vitry Centre metro station in Paris demonstrates how Fancy Fence technology can be applied to protect public spaces while enhancing their aesthetic values. This unique combination of functionality, security, and aesthetics opens new possibilities for designers and architects worldwide, providing them with tools to create safe yet beautiful urban spaces.
Fancy Fence continues its mission of innovation and excellence in designing fencing systems that meet and exceed global safety and aesthetic standards. We invite you to contact our team to learn more about our solutions and how they can contribute to your projects.

New implementation in Minsk, Belarus – Electric retractable gates
We proudly present our latest implementation – the ‘Console’ project carried out in collaboration with our new partner – Individual Entrepreneur Illarion Petrov. This innovative system of gates and fences lowered into the ground is located in the prestigious north-western part of Minsk, in the vicinity of the President of the Republic of Belarus’s residence ‘Drozdy’.
The central element of the Fancy Fence system is a steel gate section that can be lowered into the ground, becoming invisible when the situation requires it. Placed in a concrete basin, the gate ensures stability and durability, while offering exceptional aesthetics and minimalism. This system, equipped with massive counterweights to balance the weight of the gate section, allows for the use of economical electric drives, ensuring reliability as well as ease of use and maintenance.
The project of a electric retractable gates into the ground in Minsk fits perfectly into the demanding conditions of modern residential construction
The ‘Console’ project in Minsk, which utilizes the Fancy Fence system, perfectly fits into the demanding conditions of modern residential construction. Its modular design allows for the creation of fences of various lengths, and its thoughtful design ensures that the system blends seamlessly with the modern architecture of homes in this prestigious area.
In the case of the ‘Console’ project, an integral element is a 1.8 m high gate section that can be hidden in the ground. The total length is 3.96 m. The gate filling consists of 29 steel posts powder-coated. The investor additionally installed lighting inside the concrete pocket.
This is the first gate of its kind in the Russian-speaking countries, serving as an excellent example of combining innovation and aesthetics in the fencing and gate sector. The installation, carried out by an experienced installer, took only 7 days! The investor of the ‘Console’ project, seeking an alternative to standard sliding or swing gates, chose the Fancy Fence system, which not only enhances the attractiveness and value of the property but also emphasizes style and modernity.
More photos of this project can be found in the REALISATIONS.

The latest realisation of the Fancy Fence fencing system
Kolduby – Implementation: WWD
In Kolbudy, we used our innovative fencing system, consisting of a fixed part and a unique movable part, hidden in the ground. Thanks to this solution, installation was possible in places where traditional gates would be problematic, such as steep driveways or narrow plots. Additionally, the pedestrian gates, which are an integral part of the system, were equipped with a modern remote opening and closing system, significantly enhancing user comfort.
Warsaw – Implementation: Konstruktora Sp. z o.o.
In Warsaw, in collaboration with the company Konstruktora Sp. z o.o., we carried out another project based on the FANCY FENCE system. As in Kolbudy, the fence consisted of a fixed part and a movable part, concealed in the ground. The flexibility of the configuration allowed the system to be adapted to the specific needs of the plot, and the pedestrian gates were designed to harmoniously blend with the rest of the fence.
Both implementations highlight how the FANCY FENCE system can meet the diverse requirements of single-family and multi-family homeowners, while simultaneously offering a high standard and user comfort. We invite you to explore our full offer and to contact us to discuss your individual needs.
Successful tests of anti-terrorist gates
In an era where urban safety becomes a priority, innovations in security gates are key to protecting public spaces. The Polish company Fancy Fence, known for producing high-quality retractable gates, has achieved another milestone in safety.
In April of this year, the newly designed HVM gate by Fancy Fence underwent a rigorous crash test at the renowned CTS testing center in Münster, Germany. The test involved a 7.5-ton truck colliding with the gate at a speed of 50 km/h. The results were impressive: the gate not only stopped the vehicle but also exceeded expectations, achieving a penetration value of -2.8 m, meaning the vehicle was repelled backward.
Jacek Kühnl-Kinel, the creator and owner of Fancy Fence, commented, “Crash tests are a crucial element in the design process of new gates. We wanted to be sure that our HVM gate not only meets but also surpasses international safety standards. The test results at CTS confirmed our expectations and give us confidence that we are heading in the right direction.”
The HVM gate, named after the acronym “Hostile Vehicle Mitigation,” was designed with the aim of providing maximum safety in public places. Its unique construction allows for effective vehicle stopping while maintaining an aesthetic and discreet appearance.
This success in Münster is another step in Fancy Fence’s mission to deliver innovative and safe solutions for cities and public places worldwide.
