Perimeter Safety

Sprowston ManorMARRIOTT SPROWSTON MANOR HOTEL GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB (NORWICH)
The driving range was modified in the early months of 2008 and the back fence was no longer high enough to protect the members when on the green immediately behind the back fence, as you can see by the picture the fencing was originally installed at the height of 2 – meters, we removed a 40 –meter section and replaced it with fencing to the height of 10 – meters, please note the picture shown was taken during the installation of the netting and not the completed project.

cleckheaton

CLECKHEATON CRICKET CLUB
(WEST YORKSHIRE).
This fence was installed to replace an existing fence in which after a number of years was seriously damaged by high winds to the extent were it was beyond economical repair, the height of the fencing was raised slightly higher than the old one to minimize the risk of balls being hit over the fence, immediately behind the boundary wall is a pedestrian footpath and a main road, all the steel sections were Hot Dipped Galvanized and Powder Coated Green.

BAY VIEW GOLF CLUB
(PENSEVEY BAY SUSSEX) 2008.

maidenhead 4

MAIDENHEAD GOLF CENTRE
(BRAYWICK PARK, BERKSHIRE)
This Fence was installed at Maidenhead Golf Centre, Braywick Park, Maidenhead Berkshire to protect the Market Garden Centre in which is adjacent to the Golf Driving Range, Maidenhead Golf Centre seem to have a lot of rabbits around the area so 500mm of Galvanized Rabbit wire was in installed to the bottom of the fence. It is always good to advise us on any wildlife in which live on the premises prior to us installing our fences, as they cause a lot of damage to the lower level of the nets and can be very costly to rectify at a later date.

Maidenhead 5

MAIDENHEAD GOLF CENTRE

croydon

CROYDON GOLF DRIVING RANGE
(SURREY)
This fence was installed at Croydon Golf Driving Range at the bottom of the range outfield to protect a tram station, as you can see the original fence was proving to be inadequate as balls were going over the top and endangering members of the public whilst waiting for the public transport.

portsmouth

PORTSMOUTH GOLF CENTRE
(HAMPSHIRE)
160 – meters x 6.5 – meters of our ball stop perimeter/safety fencing was installed to the right hand side of the Golf Driving Range and Shop to replace an old system that had been damaged by the high winds & the salt in the sea air, the sea is about 400 yards to the left of the Driving Range Out Field, the ground is very soft in this area therefore they have the pleasure of having lots of rabbits living in the area! 500mm of Galvanised Rabbit wire was installed to the bottom section of the fence to prevent the golf netting from being damaged.

This was our third contract carried out for Mr Terry Healy at Portsmouth Golf Centre, our first contract was to carry out an earth moving contract, clear an area of waste land, form & reshape an earth bund to extend the total length of the driving range to 300 yards plus and also to install a low level ball stop perimeter/safety fence on the top of the newly formed earth bund.

60 – Meters x 6.5 – meters of our ball stop perimeter/safety fencing was installed at the back of the Driving Range to protect the employees of the water board who frequently are working on the reservoirs situated immediately behind the existing back fence, due to golf club technology the existing fence was no longer high enough, this is the case with a lot of existing Ball Stop Perimeter/Safety Fencing Systems around the country.

GRIMSBY GOLF CENTRE
(LINCOLNSHIRE)
The fences at Grimsby Golf Centre were extremely damaged caused by the extremely high winds and snow in 2008, we carried out the repair works by reusing any materials in which we could repair and also new netting was needed in several sections, again the fences are to protect the players using the golf course adjacent to the left hand side of the range and also the fence on the right hand side protects members of the public using the public footpath and also the green staff in which travel down the same route to gain access to there greens storage sheds.

The Above Picture is of the left hand fence during and after the high winds and heavy snow falls at Grimsby Golf Centre.

The picture below is of the same fence at Grimsby Golf Centre after the repair works had been completed, as you can see at the bottom of the driving range outfield a tracked access boom was needed to carry these repair works out as the ground was so wet and self propelled wheeled access machines were just sinking and causing a lot of damage to the outfield, the wheeled machines had to be towed off the outfield and the tracked access boom had to be transported over from Liverpool, there are only a limited amount of these machines in the country and on some occasions we can be waiting several weeks if not months for one to become available. We always recommend that any suspect repair works that looks like it will need attending to if we experience any extreme weather should be carried out during the summer months whilst the ground is dry enough to stand the heavy access equipment required to carry out the works.

grimsby12

The picture below is of the right hand side fence after the repair works were carried out after the high winds and heavy snow falls also in the winter months of 2008.
