School Fencing Installation in Sussex

Solution

As part of this school fencing installation in Sussex, we installed two types of fencing: Bow Top and EuroGuard Regular, each chosen for its suitability to different areas of the site. 

Bow Top Fencing for school grounds

For the internal areas, we supplied and installed black Bow Top fencing with matching gates to create safe and defined boundaries between sections of the school. The Bow Top design is well suited to schools because of its smooth, curved top and anti-climb construction, which ensure safety without appearing restrictive.

The new fencing was powder coated black to match existing Bow Top fencing installed previously by another manufacturer, maintaining visual consistency across the grounds. Unlike the earlier installation, this new fencing benefits from our 25 year guarantee, providing long term reassurance for the school.

Though strong and secure, Bow Top fencing allows clear visibility through each panel, so staff can easily monitor different areas while maintaining an open and welcoming feel. The gates on either side of the pathway provide flexible access and controlled movement throughout the grounds.

Bow Top fencing is a popular choice for schools, thanks to its robust tubular steel design with no visible joins or fixings. This concealed construction enhances durability and discourages tampering; pupils will not be able to remove bolts or fixings during lunch or break times, which is a common issue in school environments. Lighter than traditional metal railings, it also requires fewer posts for quicker installation and lower costs, thanks to the wider panels. In addition, our Bow Top aligns with the BRE Global Guide for “galvanised steel railings,” achieving a summary rating of B for educational settings. This means they have been independently assessed and recognised as a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice for educational environments. 

EuroGuard Regular V mesh fencing for a playing field 

For the sports and playing field, we supplied and installed green EuroGuard Regular fencing, our v mesh fencing, with a matching gate to enclose the playing fields  from the nearby path and neighbouring fields. Standing at two metres high, the v mesh fencing is tall enough to effectively stop accessibility and reduce the chance of the odd stray ball from going over, making it ideal for sports environments where durability is essential. At the same time, its open mesh design does not interrupt the school’s picturesque countryside views, meaning students and staff can still see across the fields, where sheep and chickens roam, preserving the school’s connection with nature. The green powder coated finish helps the fence blend seamlessly with the grass and landscape, creating a secure yet unobtrusive boundary. The matching gate at the end of the run completes the installation with a neat, professional finish, providing secure access to the path while remaining easy to use with a padlock. 

EuroGuard Regular is widely used around schools and sports pitches due to its strong yet non-intimidating v mesh design, anti-climb features, and vandal-proof fixings. It aligns with the BRE Global Guide for “galvanised weld mesh fencing with metal posts,” achieving a summary rating of A for educational settings. In other words, it has been rated as a highly sustainable and responsible option for schools, offering long lasting security and durability while promoting sustainability in schools. 

Philpots Manor School now benefits from two high quality fencing systems that enhance the safety, functionality, and appearance of its grounds. The Bow Top fencing provides secure internal divisions that are open and visually light, while the EuroGuard Regular fencing delivers robust protection for the sports field without detracting from the natural beauty of the Sussex countryside.

Both systems feature smooth, anti-climb designs and durable, low maintenance materials, backed by our 25 year guarantee for long term reliability. Set against the quiet backdrop of rural Sussex, this school fencing installation demonstrates how carefully chosen fencing can balance safety, practicality, and aesthetics, creating secure yet welcoming outdoor spaces.
