Comprehensive Site Protection: From Playgrounds to Perimeters
Every area of an educational estate has distinct operational needs. Our diverse product range ensures that every boundary, entrance, and vulnerable asset is reliably protected:
- Vertical & Bowtop Railings: Ideal for playgrounds, multi-use games areas (MUGA), and pedestrian zones, providing a safe, welcoming aesthetic without compromising on safety compliance. Head options include bow top, ball top, and standard vertical bars.
- Security & Palisade Fencing: For high-protection perimeters, our robust palisade systems feature strong D or W pale profiles with multiple top options (including single pointed, triple pointed, or round and notched) to prevent unauthorised access.
- Access & Playground Gates: Tailored pedestrian and vehicle access points engineered to integrate seamlessly with your chosen fencing system, ensuring smooth site management.
- Window Grilles & Barsets: Heavy-duty physical security layers designed to safeguard vulnerable ground-floor windows and property from vandalism or intrusion.

- Roof Handrails & Edge Protection: Permanent, fabricated handrails deliver robust edge protection for maintenance teams, ensuring compliance with working-at-height regulations.
