Pencil Fencing – FAQs
What are the key benefits of Pencil Fencing?
Pencil Fencing is a colourful, child-safe perimeter solution ideal for nurseries, schools, and playgrounds. It’s fun design adds visual appeal while maintaining safety and controlled access.
Is Pencil Fencing suitable for my site or application?
Yes. It’s perfect for early years settings, themed areas in parks, school boundaries, and play spaces. It defines zones clearly and is designed with safety in mind, with no sharp edges or climbable elements.
What sizes and specifications are available for Pencil Fencing?
Standard heights are usually 1.0m to 1.2m, with rounded timber or metal pales shaped like pencils. Available in natural timber or vibrant colour finishes, typically treated for weather resistance.
How secure is Pencil Fencing?
While not a high-security solution, Pencil Fencing creates a clear, child-safe boundary that deters wandering and separates areas effectively in public or educational spaces.
Does Pencil Fencing require regular maintenance?
Yes. Coloured finishes may fade over time and should be maintained for appearance. Timber elements should be checked periodically for weather damage, splinters, or loose fixings.
Can Pencil Fencing be integrated with gates or automation systems?
Yes. Matching pedestrian gates can be supplied, typically with child-safe locks. Automation is rarely required but could be considered in supervised environments.
