What Is Playground Fencing?
Playground fencing is a secure boundary installed around play areas to ensure the safety of children. At Skyline Fencing Landscaping, we design and install robust fences that can endure heavy use and harsh weather conditions.
Our playground fences comply with BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177 standards, ensuring safety and quality assurance. We offer a variety of materials, including powder-coated steel, timber, and PVC, each chosen for durability and maintenance requirements. Similar considerations for boundary definition and outdoor appearance also apply to garden fencing around residential properties.
Additionally, our designs feature heights varying from 1 to 3 metres, allowing for the appropriate level of security based on each client's needs.
Playground fencing is crucial for schools, parks, and community centres, as it prevents accidents and keeps children within safe play zones. Our team ensures installations cause minimal disruption, often completing projects within a few days.

How Much Does Playground Fencing Cost?
Playground fencing typically costs between £45 and £75 per metre. The final cost depends on several factors, including the type of materials chosen, the height of the fence, and the complexity of the installation process.
For example, using timber palisade fencing can offer a rustic look, but may require regular maintenance compared to more durable options like steel palisade or mesh panel fencing, which provide increased security and are less susceptible to wear and tear. Installation may involve additional considerations, such as the need for specialist tools like post drivers and concrete mixers, to ensure the fence's stability and longevity.
We also adhere to safety standards, such as BS EN 1176, which ensures that all installed fences meet required safety criteria for playgrounds. Our team provides free, no-obligation quotations to help you make an informed decision.

What Types of Playground Fencing Are Available?
We offer a variety of playground fencing types to suit different environments:
Mesh Panel Fencing: Provides excellent visibility and security. Made from welded wire, it is coated to resist corrosion and typically stands at heights of 1.8 to 2.4 metres. This type is ideal for parks and schools where supervision is essential.
Steel Palisade Fencing: Features robust steel construction for maximum durability. Known for its resistance to vandalism, each pale is individually welded and pointed for added deterrence. It's often galvanised to meet BS EN ISO 1461, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Timber Fencing: Offers a natural appearance with sturdy performance. These fences use treated softwoods like redwood or pine and can be painted or stained to match surroundings. Timber fencing is favoured in ecological playgrounds or recreational areas where aesthetics matter.
Bow-top Railings: Prevent climbing and offer child-friendly safety. The lack of sharp edges makes them compliant with BS EN 1176, a standard for safety in playground equipment. They're also available in various powder-coated colours to enhance visual appeal.
Each type of fencing can be customised to fit playground-specific needs, ensuring both functionality and attractiveness. Contact us for a consultation and to choose the right fencing solution for your playground.
