The post Perforated Fencing and Gates: A Secure and Stylish Upgrade appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>Safety and Security with Perforated Fencing
Safety is a top concern for specifiers and fencing contractors. Traditional laser-cut fencing poses a risk due to sharp edges. Picture-perf fencing eliminates this hazard with its perforation process. This method creates intricate designs without compromising the metal’s integrity, resulting in a smooth, safe surface for everyone around the fence or gate.
Unmatched Strength and Durability for Long-Term Protection
Specifiers require fencing solutions that can withstand the elements and resist physical challenges. Picture-perf fencing by Zaun delivers exceptional strength and durability. The perforation process removes minimal material, preserving the structural integrity of the fencing. This stands in stark contrast to laser-cut fencing, which weakens the metal by removing sections. Consequently, picture-perf fencing offers superior resistance to impact, vandalism, and harsh weather conditions, making it a reliable long-term security solution.
Beyond Security: Unleash Your Design Potential with Perforated Fencing and Gates
While safety and durability are crucial, specifiers often seek fencing solutions that complement a project’s aesthetics. Picture-perf fencing by Zaun surpasses expectations in this regard. The perforating technology facilitates the creation of a vast range of designs, from intricate geometric patterns to photorealistic images. This allows for seamless integration of the fencing or gate into the project’s design, transforming it from a functional necessity into a visually striking element.
Applications for Perforated Fencing and Gates
The versatility of picture-perf fencing makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

By prioritizing safety, durability, and aesthetics, this innovative product offers a solution that surpasses the limitations of traditional laser-cut fencing. With its limitless design potential and superior functionality, picture-perf fencing is poised to redefine expectations for fencing applications across the UK and Europe.

]]>The post 3 handy MUGA accessories to consider appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>If you already have this kind of pitch or are planning on having one laid, it is also worth thinking about the many useful accessories you could install. But which are 3 of the best to mull over?
These handy divider nets are ideal for splitting your pitch up into smaller sections. This then allows you to use each section for a different sport or activity more easily. You may, for example, split your MUGA in two and have football in one half alongside hockey in another. Doing this is tricky without netting to mark out the area for each and stop balls/players straying where they should not be. This increases not only pitch usage but also gameplay. Durable, easy to use and UV resistant, this netting is something to consider.
To get the maximum use and return from your MUGA pitch, you need to make it playable in the evening or if the light is poor during the day. An easy and relatively inexpensive way to achieve this is by opting for integrated floodlight posts. These posts integrate with your current sports fencing and save you from paying out for additional civil works that installing external floodlight posts would bring. Able to hold floodlights from most leading manufacturers, they look smart and provide the foundations to illuminate your MUGA when required.
Any sports pitch can suffer from is balls flying over the perimeter fencing and out of bounds. Unfortunately, it can happen a lot, whether it is a missed shot in football, a misjudged kick in rugby or an overly powerful throw in basketball. This leads to wasted time retrieving balls and potential damage to whatever the stray balls land on. Roof nets solve this problem by providing full coverage to increase ball retention.
At Zaun, we have all of the above top-quality MUGA accessories in stock to buy. We also offer a whole load of other useful accessories for your Multi Use Games Area. Order online or contact us today at sales@zaun.co.uk for more details.

]]>If you don’t already, using tickets is a good way to start regulating the number of people at a sports event. Unfortunately, we all know the devasting impact of having too many people in a stadium, so you want to avoid overcrowding as much as possible.
By using effective ticketing software, you can impose hard limits on the number of people who can buy tickets to your event. This way, the number of attendees can’t spiral, and you can ensure a safe and fun event for all involved.
The next step to keeping your operation safe is the use of security staff. Security guards can ensure that all of your strict rules are being followed, from ensuring that bags are the right size to checking that everyone has a ticket before entering.
Security guards are the first step in active security, meaning any threats can be dealt with as soon as possible. From a simple local tennis court to the football World Cup, every sporting event needs to use security staff to keep spectators and players safe.
Finally, to make all of your other measures as effective as possible, you’ll need a custom-designed perimeter fence. After all, how good is a ticketed event’s security when wrongdoers can walk in anyway? Security fencing can guide all spectators and fans to where they need to be, simplifying the security process and letting everyone focus on the match at hand.
If you’re interested in sports fencing designed especially for your venue, get in touch with the team at Zaun today. We’re proud to offer bespoke fencing for a range of sporting venues, helping you to focus on organising the match rather than having to worry about your security. So give us a call today to find out what we can do for you.

]]>Mesh fencing is commonly used as a perimeter wall or security fence. It can offer security purposes to residential, industrial or commercial properties. Mesh is also a popular choice for securing homes, however, this is often combined with a form of fencing that is generally considered more aesthetic. For increased security, some people choose a type of mesh fencing that prevents finger holds or tools being able to cut through, due to the extremely small openings.
As mesh fences can be installed in various different colours, some people enjoy the look of it in their local parks. For those who are passionate about plants, a mesh fence is a good alternative to wires for plants that climb, as they can easily take the weight without having to be regularly repaired, unlike the alternative.
Mesh fencing is a popular choice for fencing in animals, no matter what they are. As it’s possible to purchase the fence with different sizes of holes, it can accommodate any form or size of the animal. Some of the most common options are horse fencing, rabbit fencing and chicken coops. It is also an extremely safe option for animals, due to the lack of sharp edges.
One of the main industrial uses of mesh fencing is on highways and railways for security purposes. They are extremely beneficial for preventing damage of the tracks, and also to prohibit animals from crossing over dangerous areas.
To shop our range of premium mesh fencing, don’t hesitate to visit our website, or contact us at Zaun for information and guidance.

]]>The post What features does Advantage Tennis Court Fencing deliver? appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>The key to the usability of outdoor tennis courts is security fencing. It is wise to have specialist sports fencing installed, though, rather than standard fencing, which businesses might use. The Advantage Tennis Court System is sport-focused and ideal for protecting outdoor courts. But what features make it so great?
Any perimeter fencing for tennis courts needs to be robust and durable. This is because it has to stand up to being outside in all weathers and handle regular heavy impact from tennis balls. The Advantage Tennis Court Fencing System uses a twin wire mesh design which is designed to be tough. It also includes a mesh aperture that gives superb ball retention and saves you from going outside of the court to collect stray balls.
Although the practical features this court fencing system offers make it appealing, it is worth noting that it looks great. The wire mesh design looks brilliant and will enhance the courts themselves and the general area. The gaps in the wire mesh design also give spectators a great view of the on-court action and help make the fencing itself look more inviting.
One major problem for outdoor tennis courts can be rattling on perimeter fencing. If standard fencing is installed with room for movement between the panel and post, it can rattle each time the ball hits it. This can soon get tiring for anyone who lives close by. Advantage tennis court fencing, however, eliminates this by using extra fixings every 200mm in high-impact zones. An EPDM insert is also used to insulate each panel from the post and thus cut down on noise.
The Advantage Tennis Court Fencing System from Zaun has been specially developed for use on tennis courts. As well as the above features, it is great value for money and hard for would-be intruders to breach. Contact us on 01902 796699 for more details.

]]>The post Why installing spectator rails benefits outdoor football pitches appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>The obvious benefit of installing spectator railings around your football pitch is the additional safety element they provide.
Whatever level of football is being played, players and fans must be safely separated. Robust rails and purpose crafted sports fencing provides that separation. It means spectators can watch and enjoy the game in comfort and from a safe distance while allowing the match to unfold without fear of fans inadvertently appearing on the field of play.
By adding mesh infills to the rails, you can enhance the sense of security around the pitch, with the further benefit of fewer dashes across the park to retrieve the ball.
From an aesthetic point of view, the addition of a quality constructed, beautifully finished, and durable railing can elevate the football pitch above and beyond your ‘standard’ park pitch. It can create more of an event-type feel for those watching the game while enhancing the players’ environment and overall match experience.
On a practical level, they also help with pitch maintenance and protection. With secure fencing in place, there’s less likelihood of unsanctioned use or access from people and pets, helping to maintain a higher standard of playing field.
To maximise the benefits from your spectator rails around your outdoor football pitches or any other sports field, then you need to invest in a quality solution.
At Zaun, we’re specialists in providing rails, and sports fencing specifically crafted to meet the demands and legal requirements, providing your club with a safe, attractive and long-lasting solution. Thus, helping maintain a safe playing environment and healthy pitch for years to come.

]]>The post Is your outdoor arena ready for the grassroots sporting boom? appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>Below are some steps that will help to ensure any sporting venue is roadmap-ready when crowds flock back to the playing fields over the coming months.
With most sporting venues situated in local parks surrounded by residential streets, noise pollution is a common complaint, especially now that people have become used to a quieter period. Luckily, this problem has a simple solution. By replacing existing wooden boards or standard fencing in high-impact areas, such as outdoor football pitches, outdoor basketball courts, and outdoor tennis courts, with sound-reducing options like our Duo Sports fencing, you can minimise the rattle caused by balls hitting the perimeter.
As families start to spend more time outdoors together, venues should expect an increase in spectator footfall at grassroots matches. To ensure the highest level of protection for players and spectators alike, sturdy fencing options such as our Spectator Rails will allow for excellent visuals whilst maintaining a safe play zone for the sportspeople.
For pitches located near playgrounds, or those that host a lot of children’s sports, the choice of fencing should be attractive enough to suit a local park, as well as being safe enough for energetic kids and toddlers. BowTop fencing, like that of our BowTop Play selection, combines a classic design with enhanced, British Standard safety features to ensure curious hands won’t get caught whilst giving parents an uninhibited view of their child at all times.

]]>The post 3 mistakes to avoid when looking after outdoor rugby pitches appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>As with any sport, the pitch on which rugby is played is key. If you are responsible for any outdoor rugby pitches, it is wise to know what mistakes to avoid when keeping yours in check. But what mistakes should you swerve?
Perimeter fencing is a real must for any outdoor rugby pitch – be it on school grounds, private land or a local authority-owned patch of grass. Without this in place, your pitch is wide open to intruders coming onto it and causing damage. This could be anything from littering to damaging the turf or posts. With high-security fencing installed, though, intruders find it much harder to cause mischief, which keeps your pitch safer. Of course, if you already have this sort of fencing installed, make sure there are no gaps or broken sections for people to breach.
Even if there is no damage from vandals, outdoor rugby pitches still need to be well-maintained. This will not only make them more welcoming to use but also better to play on. It should also help reduce player injuries, as long grass or divots will not be there to trip players up. But what are the essential maintenance jobs to keep an eye on? Next to filling in divots and mowing the grass, you should reseed any bare patches of turf (ideally before regular use starts), keep it debris-free and repaint markings.
Although you may be experienced in looking after a rugby pitch, life can sometimes throw us curveballs which we do not know how to handle. So if something occurs which you are unsure how to deal with, do not try to guess or sort it out alone. There are many fabulous sites on the web now (like Sport England) that can offer reliable advice on any specific issues for pitch maintenance.
If you need tough, strong and great value sports fencing for your rugby pitch, get in touch with Zaun today. Our sports fencing has been specifically designed to not only perform well but look great too. Drop us a line at sales@zaun.co.uk for more information.

]]>Wimbledon, the British Tennis Championships are led and conducted by the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. The championships occur every year at Wimbledon, London, in July and are well attended by tennis enthusiasts, celebrities and other spectators worldwide.
The AELT&C required the venue to regularly and temporarily install tennis ball stop netting around the smaller courts around the arena to act as a ball stop fence and stop stray balls, therefore required removable fencing.
Removable posts were designed and manufactured by Zaun’s in-house design team. The bespoke designed temporary posts were created to slot into support sockets in the ground, ensuring that the posts could be installed and removed easily for when the Wimbledon Tennis Championships are played.
These removable posts were manufactured with offset holes for eyebolt type tensioners and supplied with a 30x5mm strip to thread the net through to provide a neat and tidy termination or corner. These are designed specifically to support the line wires and the netting on the additional smaller courts outside of the main court, providing a temporary ball stop netting area to stop stray balls from venturing on other courts around the venue.
The removable fencing and temporary netting are installed during Wimbledon Championships and removed for the day to day running at the venue. In addition, specialist ball stop netting designed specifically for tennis courts is installed with apertures that are small enough that tennis balls cannot pass through.

]]>The post What security tips can you take from Wimbledon 2021 into your own tennis courts? appeared first on Zaun Limited.
]]>While this is common knowledge, it might be a surprise to hear you can take some aspects of Wimbledon security into your own courts. If you run a private tennis club, are responsible for courts at a private gym or look after public tennis courts, this is worth thinking about.
But what tips are the most useful to borrow?
Although the courts at Wimbledon might not have perimeter fencing or railings around them directly, it is a feature you will see around the perimeter of the All England Club. This makes sense as it allows the organisers to stop intruders wandering onto the site who should not be there. It also makes the site perimeter hard to breach and protects people inside. Using security fencing to protect players and visitors whilst also securing your perimeter is something you can use for your grounds as well.
It is, of course, also possible to erect specialist sports fencing for tennis around your own courts. This provides the court with two features, a secure court to stop any unauthorised visitors or vandals and perimeter sports fencing for ball retention.
Whether it is players, employees or fans, the organisers of Wimbledon don’t just let anyone gain entry. They will have strict processes in place to ensure only authorised people are allowed to enter. This not only keeps the players and crowds safe from dangerous individuals but also stops anyone from tampering with facilities inside the All England Club. Enforcing a robust visitor policy is certainly something you can take into your own club or courts to keep everyone safer and ensure that you know who is on the site each time.
There are other options, including using the ASSA Abloy Cliq system to give the site owners complete control over the access to the locks, without the need for multiple different keys. A key can be programmed to provide players with access to the court at a set time frame, providing you with a full log of who has accessed the court and at what time.
One handy tip that Wimbledon 2021 organisers will use is taking an integrated approach to security. This basically means they will use multiple systems which work together to keep everyone safe. They may, for example, have security fencing in place, plus CCTV and hostile vehicle mitigation. This gives them more coverage and leaves them better prepared to pick up on or deal with any suspicious activity. Once more, this integrated approach works just as well for other tennis clubs or leisure facilities.
At Wimbledon 2021, organisers will be deploying temporary HVM measures to protect crowds and pedestrians from a potential hostile vehicle attack. This kind of security is a must for any major event to protect spectators and visitors.
As per the organisers of the Wimbledon tennis championship 2021, it really does pay to keep your own courts better protected with measures like this. At Zaun, we have a range of great value security fencing, metal railings and integrated security solutions to consider. Get in touch at sales@zaun.co.uk today for more details.
