Project Overview
Reading Football Club wanted to enhance safety at their Bearwood Park Training Ground by installing a fencing solution to help deter access to the on-site lake. The project required a durable, high-performance barrier that could withstand challenging terrain and blend seamlessly into the natural surroundings of the training facility. Metafence was selected to provide a robust fencing solution that prioritised safety while maintaining a professional appearance.
Why Reading Football Club Chose Metafence
The club required a fencing contractor with experience working in difficult landscapes, including uneven and sloping ground. Our team collaborated closely with Reading FC to and it was decided our PROVMESH fencing system capable of securing the lake perimeter while being resilient to environmental conditions. The high-quality metal mesh offers long-term durability, requires minimal maintenance, and provides peace of mind that the area would remain safely restricted.
