How we build school and nursery fencing in Stevenage
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 Stevenage jobs we adjust for shared-with-neighbour fence runs are the norm — quotes need to cover boundary checks first.
Property mix locally: post-war planned housing across Chells, Shephall and Bedwell, plus older properties in Stevenage Old Town. Typical gardens: modest rectangular plots, typically flat, with rear access alleyways on the planned estates. Postcodes we regularly service: SG1, SG2.
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
