British Playground Fences Punished More Than UK Prison Fences!

Playground fences often take more punishment than prison fencing ! A fence surrounding a play area has many jobs, we need to see clearly inside, it needs to withstand children of all ages ... and sizes climbing upon it.

A playground fence needs to keep children in and animals out, it has to withstand fouling too. Chestnut fencing for example is usually hand made with wood from sustainable woodland management and is a versatile timber that can be used for rustic appearances such as chestnut post and rail fences, trellis, paling and lattice fencing including pergolas, gates arbours.

Kissing gates and Stiles: However, whilst we need to protect livestock, we need to look at who will be using the stiles and gates. Saving money could end the landowner with the wrong style of stile. Sparing a few bits of timber can greatly slow down a group of ramblers when in reality progress should be speeded because of 'very active' horses in the field.

The absence of any handholds make it quite difficult for most people to negotiate . So would the absence of a post to lean against. The step might be too narrow. This type of stile could unlawful and a fine could soon cost more than the money saved.

A timber-kissing gate is particularly useful in districts populated by elderly people where a stile is unsuitable. It serves two purposes, keeping the animals in (stockproofness) and allowing pedestrian entry, there may also be a third purpose in the restrictions of motorcycles

British Standard for gates and stiles.

BS5709:2001, (ISBN 0 580 33287 X) is available. The publication is endorsed by the Countryside Agency and the National Farmers' Union and the Country Landowners' Association all of which were involved in the publication. It states that stiles should not be used for new structures except in exceptional circumstances and that where a structure is needed on a path a Gap should be the first choice, a Gate the second choice and a Kissing Gate a third choice. The new standard makes it clear that the least restrictive option will do - in this order; Gap, Gate, Kissing Gate, Stile and the first one capable of performing the required stockproofness must be used, afterall the priority is to secure animals.
