Welded mesh sports fencing-like our very own Lochrin BallGUARD™ offers a robust solution that protects both your spectators and your property, all whilst handling the unique demands of sporting environments.

To help our customers understand why they should consider this specially designed mesh fencing solution, we’ve put together a list of the key benefits that the Lochrin BallGUARD™ and similar products have to offer.

1. Increased Durability for High-Impact Sports

Sports grounds are subject to rigorous daily use. Whether it’s a hockey game, tennis match, or one of the many other high-impact sports games enjoyed by players across the country, your perimeter fencing solution needs to stand up to the job.

High-energy impacts from balls, players, and equipment have all been taken into account during the design of the Lochrin BallGUARD™. This mesh fence is designed with durability in mind and is constructed using twin wire 8mm diameter horizontal wires either side of a 6mm diameter vertical wire welded at each intersection. This creates a strong and rigid panel that is capable of withstanding the impact of most games.

2. Enhanced Visibility for a Better Spectator Experience

One of the standout features of welded mesh fencing is its ability to offer perimeter protection without obstructing views. The 200mm x 50mm mesh apertures of the Lochrin BallGUARD™ help to ensure excellent see through visibility, allowing spectators to watch the action on the field without visual barriers.

This feature is especially useful in sports like football, where uninterrupted sightlines enhance spectator enjoyment, engagement and their overall experience.

3. Increased Safety for Spectators & Players

As already mentioned, safety is one of the main concerns in any environment involving sports. Welded mesh fencing offers a solid barrier that keeps spectators safe from possible impacts. It can also serve to help keep the players inside the field of play, minimising the possibility of injuries due to running off the pitch.

4. Perimeter Security for Your Sports Facility

Besides protecting spectators and players, your chosen fence must also guard the various pieces of equipment that has to be provided to participants in a range of sporting activities. With this equipment been vulnerable to the risks of theft, vandalism, and unauthorized use, a medium to high level of security is required, and this is something that the Lochrin BallGUARD™ can offer.

5. Low Maintenance & Long-Lasting

As standard, all our mesh fencing products are pre-galvanized and powder coated, making them resistant to corrosion, rust, and weathering. This low-maintenance quality makes it ideal for sports facilities, where managers cannot justify annual repairs or the frequent replacement of components.

Once installed, welded mesh fencing provides many years of reliable service with minimum upkeep, allowing the manager of any sports facility to attend to other important tasks. On the Lochrin BallGUARD™, we currently offer design life guarantees ranging from 5 to 10 years, depending on location.
