Context

Oakdale Primary School in Peterborough required a fencing solution to update the school perimeter and sports fencing.

Products supplied

Over 650m of Jacksons’ fencing and 8 gates were installed at the site.

Perimeter fencing with access gates

Two-metre tall EuroGuard Flatform Medium welded mesh fencing was installed around the school perimeter. A matching single leaf gate was installed for pedestrian usage, allowing for better control and monitoring of entry and exit. A manual double leaf gate was installed for vehicular and emergency access.

Sports and activity areas

A variation of EuroGuard with a heavier wire gauge was installed around the sports and activities areas, preventing children from leaving the area unauthorised while simultaneously providing good visibility from both within and outside for staff in case of an accident or emergency. Three metre high panels were specified to protect passers-by and spectators from stray equipment.

The same mesh fencing was installed around the school bike shed, its anti-climb properties defending against potential theft and vandalism and providing good visibility for video surveillance.

Railings for pathways and playground

The school also installed Sentry Residential railings to separate the car park from pathways used by pupils at the beginning and end of the day. At lunch and break times, the 1.25m high barrier keeps children within the playground without being overly imposing.

Product guarantees

All of Jacksons’ steel fencing and gates are backed by a comprehensive 25-year guarantee, for a lower lifetime cost and a more sustainable solution.
