Hampton Scores with Football Ground Fencing

Kettering Town Football Club choose Hampton XNET™ to form the perimeter fencing at their ground.

UK manufacturer Hampton Steel Ltd produces an extensive range of steel wire fencing and accessories for the UK and overseas markets at their Northamptonshire based plant.

With years of experience producing quality fencing for some of the top professionals including championship jockey A.P. McCoy OBE, their recent project proved a great success at Kettering Town Football Club.

Forming the pitch’s perimeter fencing system, Hampton XNET™ was chosen for its exceptional strength, versatility and excellent rebound characteristics but also essential safety features. With its safer low profile X shaped knotted joint that locks the vertical and horizontal wires tight preventing movement under pressure, Hampton XNET™ was the first choice fencing option for Malcolm Harris at Kettering Town Football Club.

“We wanted a fence that would not only fulfil in terms of safety for our supporters and players but also would retain its form under pressure and aesthetically be less intrusive than traditional welded mesh. Hampton XNET™ could tick all those boxes but also exceed on durability,” said Malcolm Harris. “The FA and Calor League representatives have been to inspect the fencing as part of the ground grading process and were more than happy with both its functionality and safety attributes,” said Malcolm. Hampton’s are not unfamiliar with stamps of approval from government bodies; their bear enclosure at five Sisters Zoo in West Lothian was issued with a similarly favourable response from the affiliated vet “the new Hampton XNET™ bear enclosure rates as a world class exhibit.''''
