Compare QuotesWhat Schools Usually Need
- Boundaries. Perimeter fencing, often 1.8 - 2.4m anti-climb.
- Entrances. Separate vehicle and pedestrian gates, with controlled access at drop-off.
- Visibility. See-through mesh lets staff see the boundary and leaves fewer hiding places.
- Activity areas. Fencing around sports fields, courts and play areas, separate from the main boundary.
Entrances and Access
Plan pedestrian gates at drop-off points and keep them separate from vehicle gates. Many schools use electric locks, intercoms or tag readers. See clearview pedestrian gates, clearview sliding gates and clearview gate automation.
Installation Scheduling
- Book major work during school holidays.
- Keep the site secure every night during the work.
- Separate work areas from learners if work happens in term.
- Agree contractor access, supervision and safety rules in advance.
