A colourful playground fencing for Onslow Recreation Ground

Onslow Recreation Ground, an esteemed recipient of the Green Flag award, stands proudly in Guildford, offering excellent views of its picturesque surroundings.

Adjacent to an arboretum, this park serves as a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Recognising the need for enhanced safety measures around its bustling playground area, the decision was made to install a new, colourful playground fence to contrast the industrial looking steel and timber play equipment.

A robust new fence was required to enhance the visual appearance and inject fun and creativity into the space, whilst protecting the area from dogs, reducing the risk of children wandering off, and averting older children from damaging the fence through climbing. In addition, the fence needed to be playground-suitable; with an anti-trap design approved to RoSPA and BS EN 1176 playground safety standards.

Jacksons Fencing, renowned for their expertise in this domain, provided the ideal solution with their Metal Playtime® fencing, certified by RoSPA and conforming to BS EN 1176.

Standing at a metre in height with a meticulously designed flat top and rounded edges, this fence not only provides a secure barrier but also minimises the risk of injuries. Beyond its functional benefits, the choice of vibrant, powder-coated railings adds a touch of visual appeal to the playground, while also serving the practical purpose of clearly defining its boundaries.

The outcome is a playground that captivates young imaginations with its vibrant colours and ensures their safety with clearly delineated boundaries. Backed by a 25 year guarantee against rust, the fence offers enduring protection without compromising on aesthetic or safety standards.

In summary, the successful completion of this project exemplifies the seamless integration of functionality and aesthetics, culminating in a safe and visually appealing playground environment for all to enjoy.
