Blean Primary school in Canterbury is for pupils aged four to 11. As more and more schools seek to use the outdoors as an aid to learning, so schools have a need for safe, secure and aesthetically pleasing perimeter security. With these factors in mind, Blean wanted to update their existing perimeter security protecting the front of the school.
The Kent-based firm Jacksons Fencing were invited to survey the grounds with the remit to update the entrance security at the front of the school. After the site survey and consultation Jacksons designed, made and installed Bow Top fencing to run along the front of the school, which is near a busy main road. The fencing was powder-coated to match their corporate colours making a striking appearance as you view the entrance of the school grounds.
Two double leaf bow top gates were installed in the fence line for vehicles to gain access to the car parks, gate stops were installed to safety hold the gates in the open position and preventing them from closing is windy conditions. With space at a premium, the gates were required to open 180 degrees so the gate leaves were not an obstacle for cars driving in and out of the premises. So as to keep pedestrians safe and away from moving traffic two pedestrian gates where installed for them to gain access onto the site.
