How we build school and nursery fencing in Potters Bar
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 Potters Bar jobs we adjust for many gardens border the green belt — the brief usually needs sturdy stock-proof boundary work.
Property mix locally: 1930s semis, post-war detached homes around Cranborne Road, and infill developments near Little Heath. Typical gardens: generous rear gardens — often deep enough for decking plus a separate utility area. Postcodes we regularly service: EN6.
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
Typical school and nursery fencing briefs in Potters Bar
- → 1.8m weld-mesh on galvanised posts around a primary school MUGA
- → matched pedestrian and vehicle gates with mag-lock and DDA-compliant pedestrian access
