If you\u2019re a sports site manager, you\u2019ll want to ensure that your tennis courts and other pitches are secure and suitable enough for an influx of customers. In this article, we\u2019ll discuss some things to consider when looking to buy sports ground fencing.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Security<\/h2>\n<p>First, consider how high you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/sporting-event-security\/\" title=\"Why even small sporting events need security fencing\">need your sports fencing<\/a> to be. For some sports, such as <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" data-wpil=\"url\" data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/our-products\/\" title=\"hockey\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">hockey<\/a>, fences can be shorter; however, higher fences need to be put in place for sports such as tennis, football or cricket, often with additional mesh or netting. Stray balls can often exit the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/perfect-tennis-court-fencing\/\" title=\"Why mesh makes perfect tennis court fencing\">court and interfere with nearby traffic if the fences<\/a> are too low. High <a title=\"The fun of having good sports fencing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/good-sports-fencing\/\">fences also deter unauthorised people from trespassing onto your sports<\/a> ground and causing damage through vandalism or theft.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Gates<\/h2>\n<p>People often forget that many sports courts and pitches require access <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/products\/358-vehicle-gates\/\" title=\"358 Vehicle Gates\">gates that can be opened easily to allow vehicle<\/a> and pedestrian access. Mesh wire gates and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/fence\/\" title=\"What does your fence say about your business?\">fences<\/a> help blend into the surroundings and allow for spectators to see in and keep track of what is happening on the court and advertise your facilities to passersby.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Wildlife<\/h2>\n<p>Where your court or pitch is located will determine the type and frequency of animal trespassers you get. While they may not sound like a nuisance, they can cause damage to your facilities, spread disease and even leave a mess which can deter customers. Please look at your location and the animals and wildlife that inhabit it before <a title=\"Safety when it matters \u2013 choosing the right playground fencing\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/safe-playground-fencing\/\">choosing a suitable fence<\/a> that can keep them out. A stronger and more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\/blog\/strong-fencing\/\" title=\"Withstand the winter weather with sturdy, strong fencing\">sturdy fence<\/a> or metal railings will likely be required for larger animals, but smaller animals may be kept out with a simple mesh fence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zaun.co.uk\">Zaun <\/a>offers sports fencing for all facilities, so if you are a sports site manager looking for an affordable but professional fencing solution, we are here to help.
