August 2026 - 868 Double Wire Mesh & Ball Netting- Windsor
When managing a school site, securing the perimeter is essential for keeping students safe and ensuring peace of mind for staff and parents.
Recently, Safesite Fencing was approached by a school facing a critical boundary security challenge. Their existing chainlink fence surrounding the main playing field was nearing the end of its natural lifespan and, more importantly, had developed gaps and breaches—allowing pupils to slide through during break times.
To solve both the security risks and secondary site issues like stray balls entering neighboring properties, Safesite designed and executed a durable, custom fencing solution.
The Boundary Challenges
Schools often face unique perimeter control issues due to daily wear and tear, landscape obstacles, and nearby residential properties.
Wear and Tear: Standard chainlink fencing degrades over time, sagging, warping, and developing vulnerable gaps.
Student Truancy & Safety: Unsecure gaps in perimeter boundaries present immediate safeguarding risks during school hours.
Neighboring Property Relations: Sports activities near site borders can lead to lost balls, damaged gardens, and ongoing friction with nearby residents.
Natural Obstacles: Overgrown foliage, mature trees, and uneven root systems along the boundary line make traditional installations difficult.
The Solution: Heavy-Duty 868 Twin-Wire Mesh Fencing
To ensure a high level of security and long-term durability, Safesite recommended replacing the old chainlink structure with a 2.4m high 868 double wire mesh system across the entire field boundary.

Why Choose 868 Mesh for School Perimeters?
Superior Strength & Vandal Resistance: Built with twin 8mm horizontal wires sandwiching a single 6mm vertical wire, 868 mesh offers incredible rigid structural strength that resists cutting, climbing, and heavy impact.
Enhanced Safeguarding: The tight mesh profile eliminates gap formation, ensuring students remain safely within designated school zones throughout the day.
Clean Architectural Aesthetic: Heavy twin-wire panel systems provide a sleek, modern, professional look that upgrades the visual appearance of the school ground.
Specialized Pitch Solution: Integrated 4m Ball Catch Netting
To address sports field activities directly adjacent to nearby residential houses, Safesite implemented a tailored height extension behind the field's primary football goal section.
Combined Protection System: Safesite engineered and installed 4m high ball netting mounted directly above the 868 mesh panels.
Community Relations: The extended sports ball netting keeps play continuous on the field while protecting neighbors' gardens and property from stray footballs.
Overcoming Complex Installation Terrain
Installing continuous perimeter boundaries across established field borders requires specialized equipment and expertise. Safesite’s installation team successfully navigated dense foliage, established root networks, and existing mature trees along the line without compromising structural integrity or damaging surrounding nature.
The completed 2.4m twin-wire boundary and integrated 4m sports netting give the school an attractive, long-lasting, and completely secure solution.
