How we build school and nursery fencing in Hatfield
1.2m or 1.8m bow-top or 358 weld-mesh, hot-dip galvanised then RAL powder-coated posts, self-closing gates with anti-finger-trap hinges. On Hatfield jobs we adjust for uniform new-build estates mean visual consistency across runs is important to keep frontages looking right.
Property mix locally: post-war new-town estates, university accommodation, and Old Hatfield's period cottages. Typical gardens: compact rectangular plots, mostly level, often shared with neighbour-owned fences. Postcodes we regularly service: AL9, AL10.
we install to BS 1722-14 for bow-top and BS 1722-10 for weld-mesh, provide safeguarding-relevant sign-off notes, and can attend outside term time only.
Why this spec, for primary schools, nurseries and early-years settings
- no horizontal rails at climbable heights — safeguarding-first geometry
- hot-dip galvanised then powder-coated finishes carry a 25-year service life
- welded rather than bolted joints so nothing works loose over a school year
Where school and nursery fencing isn't the right answer
- — conservation-area primary schools where planning restricts galvanised finish visible from the street
- — domestic-scale nurseries in a converted house where a timber boundary already meets Ofsted line-of-sight rules
