Client: Oxford University
Location: Oxfordshire, UK
System Installed: 2.4m High Steel Palisade Fence
Sector: Schools & Further Education

Project Overview

Oxford University required a high-security fencing solution to protect one of its units affected by recurring anti-social behaviour. After a detailed site visit and consultation, Metafence was chosen to supply and install a robust steel palisade fence, tailored to meet the university’s specific security needs.

Why Oxford University Chose Metafence

The university sought a durable, low-maintenance perimeter security system that could effectively deter unauthorised access and improve site safety. Our team assessed the geographical layout and existing landscape, concluding that a 2.4m high steel palisade fence offered the best combination of strength, deterrence, and long-term reliability.

Work Completed

  • Site Clearance: Removal of overgrown greenery and shrubbery to prepare the fenceline.
  • Installation: Full installation of the 2.4m steel palisade system to secure the designated unit.
  • Project Management: End-to-end delivery with zero issues or delays.

Results & Benefits

  • Improved Site Security: The new palisade fence created a clear and formidable barrier around the property.
  • Reduction in Anti-Social Behaviour: Since the installation, the site has seen a significant reduction in unauthorised activity.

Long-Term Durability: The steel palisade system offers a high level of resistance to tampering and weather-related damage.
