Products supplied

61 metres of 2 metre high vertical bar Sentry® fencing were installed around the perimeter of the school site. Comprising of wide vertical bars with concealed fixings Sentry® is a non-intrusive fence that offers security through its anti-climb design and welded semi pale-through-rail construction, making it extremely difficult to break through. The pales are spaced with a maximum gap of 100mm to conform to anti-trap regulations, reducing the risk of children getting their limbs or heads stuck.

Sentry® fencing can be tailored to suit specific requirements; it is commonly seen with a security comb topping, but in order to provide a non-intimidating solution, this was not included in this project.

Due to the uneven terrain, the panels were stepped upon installation along the sloping ground. The fencing and gates were powder coated green, enabling them to blend with the natural foliage in the surrounding area and create a welcoming environment.

Four manual single leaf pedestrian gates were also installed to match the fencing, two with push pads to stop unauthorised access from the outside.

Sentry® fencing and gates come with our 25 year service life guarantee, offering a cost effective, sustainable solution.
