100m Privacy Panels and Palisade Weaving at Jeppe High School for Boys
Schools require perimeter solutions that can balance security, privacy, durability and everyday functionality. A school boundary needs to manage access to the property while also helping to protect pupils, staff, visitors and school facilities.
Wicked Weaving recently completed a substantial perimeter upgrade at Jeppe High School for Boys, involving 100m of privacy panels with palisade weaving, the removal and reinstallation of the existing electric fence, as well as the construction of a new main gate and pedestrian gate.
100m of Privacy Panels and Palisade Weaving
The project included 100m of privacy panels with palisade weaving, creating a more enclosed perimeter around the school property.
Traditional palisade fencing provides an open design with spaces between the vertical steel sections. While this can provide visibility through the fence, schools may require additional privacy around certain areas of their property.
Palisade weaving helps reduce these open spaces by installing woven steel strips through the existing palisade structure. Combined with privacy panels, this can create a more substantial perimeter while retaining the appearance and structure of palisade fencing.
Improving Privacy Around School Grounds
Schools can have a number of areas where reducing visibility from outside the property is beneficial. Sports areas, playgrounds, courtyards, staff areas and other sections of the school grounds may require additional screening.
Privacy panels and palisade weaving can help create a more enclosed boundary around these areas.
For a large school property, a 100m installation can make a significant difference to the appearance and functionality of the perimeter.
Removing and Reinstalling the Electric Fence
Another part of the project involved the removal and reinstallation of the existing electric fence.
When fencing or perimeter structures are being modified, existing security systems may need to be temporarily removed to allow the work to be completed properly. Once the new fencing and related work are completed, the existing electric fence can be reinstalled as part of the overall perimeter.
This allows the school to retain its existing security infrastructure while making changes to the underlying fencing.
Careful coordination is important when working around existing security systems to ensure that the different components of the perimeter work together once the project is complete.
New Main Gate and Pedestrian Gate
The perimeter upgrade also included the construction of a new gate and pedestrian gate.
Gates are an important part of any school perimeter because they control how people and vehicles enter and leave the property. A suitable entrance needs to work with the surrounding fencing while providing practical access for the school’s daily activities.
The new gate and pedestrian entrance were incorporated into the wider perimeter project, helping create a more cohesive finished installation.
A Complete Perimeter Upgrade
Rather than focusing on a single section of fencing, this project involved several elements working together: privacy panels, palisade weaving, the existing electric fence, a new main gate and a pedestrian gate.
Combining these components allows the perimeter to be considered as a complete system rather than a collection of separate installations.
This approach can be particularly useful for schools and other large properties where different access points and security requirements need to work together.
Why Consider Palisade Weaving for Schools?
Palisade weaving can provide several practical benefits for school properties.
- Reduces visibility through existing palisade fencing
- Creates a more enclosed perimeter
- Can improve privacy around selected areas
- Provides a fresh and uniform appearance
- Can be combined with existing security fencing
- Can complement gates, privacy panels and other perimeter solutions
It can also provide an alternative to replacing suitable existing palisade fencing where the main requirement is additional privacy or screening.
Professional Installation for Large Perimeters
Larger projects require careful planning and installation to ensure that the finished perimeter is consistent throughout.
With 100m of privacy panels and palisade weaving, correct measurements, preparation and alignment are particularly important. Gates also need to be positioned and constructed to work correctly with the surrounding fence.
Where an existing electric fence is being removed and reinstalled, the work also needs to be coordinated with the fencing installation.
Professional installation helps ensure that the different elements of the project are properly integrated.
Perimeter Solutions for Schools and Institutions
The requirements of a school perimeter can differ from those of a private home. Schools have regular pedestrian movement, vehicle access, staff areas, pupils and visitors, meaning that entrances and boundaries need to be designed around daily use.
Privacy panels, palisade weaving, gates and existing security systems can be combined to create a perimeter solution suited to the property.
These types of solutions can also be considered for other institutional and commercial properties where privacy and controlled access are important.
Upgrade Your School’s Perimeter
The 100m privacy panel and palisade weaving project at Jeppe High School for Boys demonstrates how several perimeter solutions can be combined into one comprehensive upgrade.
From the privacy panels and palisade weaving to the removal and reinstallation of the electric fence and construction of new gates, the project addressed multiple aspects of the school’s perimeter.
If your school, business, estate or other property requires additional privacy, palisade weaving, new gates or perimeter upgrades, Wicked Weaving can help.
