01

The brief

The play area was bounded by low timber picket fencing that no longer met the school's security or safeguarding requirements, with no controlled access between areas.

02

What we installed

The picket line was stripped out and replaced with 1.8m high 868 twin-wire mesh fencing, and a new double-leaf swing gate was installed with anti-trap gas closers, card entry access control and a magnetic locking system. Access control cabling was run through the fence line during installation.

03

The result

A secure, controlled school boundary with card-managed gate access, plus privacy netting added to a second play area.

Card entry access control

Proximity card readers mounted to the gate posts, wired back through the fence line so the school controls exactly who moves between areas.

Anti-trap gas closers

Both leaves fitted with anti-trap gas closers and a magnetic locking system, so the gate closes safely and holds secure without slamming.
