In 2023, Tenterden Town Council completed the successful installation of vandal-proof fencing at a recreation ground situated in St Michaels village, in the borough of Ashford, Kent.
The new fencing and gates enhance security around the groundskeeping equipment storage building, to provide convenient access and ensure the grounds can be neatly kept for all users of this cherished community space
Creating a sanctuary
Situated in the idyllic village of St Michaels, a stone’s throw from Tenterden town, the recreation ground serves as a focal point for residents and visitors alike.
With amenities including a children’s play area, a skate park, and lush green spaces, it is a popular destination for leisure and recreation.
Need for robust security measures
To safeguard the well-being of park users and protect against vandalism, Tenterden Town Council enlisted fencing and security specialists, Jacksons Fencing to install robust security measures.
After witnessing the premium quality of Jacksons Fencing’s previous installation at the play area in 2013, the council opted for over 80 metres of EuroGuard® Regular fencing, complemented by two 4.9 metre wide EuroGuard Flatform double leaf gates.
Beyond the barriers
EuroGuard Regular, with its large mesh apertures, ensures good visibility from both sides of the fence
Supplied with a galvanised and architectural grade polyester powder-coated finish, the EuroGuard system stands as a stalwart defender against rust and corrosion, ensuring enduring resilience. Yet, its qualities extend beyond durability.
EuroGuard Regular, with its large mesh apertures, ensures good visibility from both sides of the fence, crucial for surveillance needs, particularly in areas prone to vandalism.
EuroGuard features
Moreover, EuroGuard features unique mesh security clips, tightly securing panels to posts with tamper-proof fixings on the secure side of the fence, mitigating the risk of panel removal.
This innovative design addresses issues that are commonly associated with mesh fencing, enhancing security and peace of mind for the community.
Sustainable and sleek
Echoing Tenterden Town Council's commitment to eco-conscious infrastructure, the EuroGuard fencing stands resplendent in its powder-coated black (RAL 9005) finish, marrying sustainability with sophistication.
Not merely a barrier, but a beacon of security and style. Each product comes with the assurance of Jacksons Fencing’s 25-year guarantee, symbolising a commitment to quality and trust.
Eco-friendly EuroGuard fencing system
Commenting on the project, Peter Jackson, Managing Director, of Jacksons Fencing, said, "Security and sustainability are at the heart of our mission at Jacksons Fencing. We're proud to have partnered with Tenterden Town Council once again to enhance the safety and beauty of St. Michaels Recreation Ground."
Peter Jackson adds, "Our EuroGuard fencing system not only provides robust protection against vandalism but also contributes to the eco-friendly ethos of the community. Together, we're reinforcing spaces where families can gather, play, and thrive."
