Project Overview
Mammoth Self Storage appointed Metafence to deliver a complete commercial fencing and access control solution at their new facility in Reading. With several successful installations already completed for this client across the UK, Mammoth once again chose Metafence for our ability to provide integrated security systems, including high-security fencing, gate automation, and vehicular protection systems.
Why Mammoth Self Storage Chose Metafence
Mammoth needed a contractor who could provide a reliable, high-performance security perimeter, while also managing the automation and access control required for a 24/7 self-storage facility.
Metafence was selected due to our proven expertise in installing commercial-grade mesh fencing, heavy-duty automated gates, and impact protection systems tailored to the storage and logistics sector.
Our end-to-end project delivery and in-house automation capabilities provided a streamlined solution — reducing coordination needs and improving project efficiency.
Work Completed
- Conducted site groundworks including excavation and concrete pad construction
- Installed Meta Extreme 358 Mesh Fencing around the boundary to prevent unauthorised access
- Supplied and installed automated sliding security gates for controlled vehicle access
- Fitted fire exit gates to comply with safety regulations
- Positioned steel bollards to protect vulnerable areas from ramming or collision
- Installed double-height Armco-style crash barriers to safeguard unit fronts from vehicle impact
The team unexpectedly discovered solid concrete foundations during installation. After testing the concrete’s structural integrity, we adapted to a bolt-down mounting system, avoiding costly delays and maintaining structural strength.
Results & Benefits
- Enhanced Site Security: The new perimeter solution deters trespassing and vandalism, improving peace of mind for site operators and customers
- 24/7 Operational Access: Automated sliding gates support around-the-clock, secure access for storage customers
- Vehicle Protection: Crash barriers and bollards ensure buildings and stored goods are protected from accidental or deliberate vehicle impact
- Long-Term Value: Durable, low-maintenance systems that withstand high usage and harsh weather, delivering excellent return on investment
