What Is Playground Fencing?
Playground fencing is a protective barrier installed around play areas to ensure child safety and prevent accidents. At DP Fencing, we supply and install playground fencing using durable materials like galvanised steel and impact-resistant timber.
Our fences come in various heights, typically ranging from 1 to 1.8 metres, to accommodate different security levels.
We offer several types of fencing options, including mesh panel systems and bow top railings, which comply with the British Standard EN 1176 for playground equipment and surfacing. These fences are designed to deter unauthorised access and clearly demarcate play zones.
Additionally, self-closing gates can be integrated to ensure ease of access while maintaining security. The construction of our fences contributes to a safe environment for children.

How Much Does Playground Fencing Cost?
Playground fencing typically costs between £50 and £150 per metre. The price depends on several factors: the material chosen, the height of the fence, and the total length required.
Steel fencing tends to be pricier due to its strength, durability, and compliance with safety standards such as BS EN 1176 for playground safety. Timber is a more cost-effective option, available in treated pine or hardwood for longevity against weather elements.
Chain-link fencing offers flexibility and visibility, often used for its resiliency and ease of maintenance. The installation's complexity, such as the terrain's nature and any necessary groundwork or existing structure modifications, can also affect pricing.
Typical installation times range from two to five days depending on the site's condition and fence length. Get in touch with us to receive a tailored quote based on your specific project requirements.
