Project Overview
As part of a larger upgrade of facilities, Ascot Racecourse commissioned Metafence to modernise their car park boundaries and enhance security measures. The project involved replacing old chainlink fencing with bespoke 2.0m high railings designed to match the historic sections already on site. Automated rising arm barriers were installed to improve security in the main service yard, meeting current regulations. In preparation for the prestigious Royal Ascot meeting, a bespoke composite vision screening system was also installed within the Royale Enclosure, delivering both practical functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Why Ascot Chose Metafence
Metafence was selected due to our familiarity with the site and its design requirements, our ability to meet tight deadlines, and our resources and expertise to deliver a high-quality, bespoke solution tailored to a world-class venue.
