Why is Playground Fencing so Important?

Timber Fencing
Playground Fencing Safety and Logistics
Our Commercial Play team can help you choose the best Playground Fencing for your needs.
Importantly, all fences must be constructed and maintained according to BS 1722 and EN 1176.
While minimum height requirements are not specified, we recommend at least one metre in height.
When it comes to Playground Fencing, not all fences are made equal. That’s why it’s so critical to work with an expert like Commercial Play.
We will assess and advise on all aspects of your fencing project and maintenance, including:
- Removing all sharp edges and proprietary caps
- Preventing child entrapment within the fence
- Ensuring that all fences and gates are secure
- Avoiding rigid panels on sloped sites
- Anticipating and preventing vandalism
- Choosing the most durable and hard-wearing materials
- Advising on preservative treatments, such as hot-dip galvanising for steel and pressure impregnation for timber
Most fencing companies do not specialise in children’s Playground Fencing, and they don’t know the specific concerns to look out for and prevent. It’s always a better idea to work with a specialist.
