Jacksons Fencing successfully supplied and installed its state-of-the-art EuroGuard® Rebound sports mesh fencing at West Beach Tennis Courts in Whitstable, Kent. In partnership with LTA Tennis Foundation, this installation marks a key milestone in Canterbury City Council’s initiative to upgrade local sports infrastructure while reinforcing Jacksons Fencing’s reputation as a leader in high-quality, long-lasting fencing solutions for all applications including sports and recreation.
Addressing security and durability challenges
The key challenges for the fencing were multi-faceted. First, security was a priority. The courts needed to be securely enclosed to prevent unauthorised access and vandalism, yet the boundary needed to remain welcoming and accessible to the public.
Durability was another major consideration, especially given the coastal environment, where salty sea air and strong winds could quickly degrade materials that weren’t up to standard. The fencing had to withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining its integrity and appearance over time.
Visibility and safety also had to be considered. The fencing needed to provide a clear boundary while ensuring that players’ views of the court and the picturesque surrounding landscape weren’t obstructed. Additionally, the design needed to be aesthetically pleasing and complement the beachside location, offering a modern, sleek appearance without detracting from the natural beauty of the area. The existing chain link fencing, traditionally used for tennis courts, had fallen into disrepair and needed replacing with something smarter and more durable.
A tailored fencing solution
Understanding the unique demands of the project, Jacksons Fencing supplied and installed EuroGuard® Rebound sports mesh fencing, an advanced system engineered specifically for sports facilities. Constructed from galvanised steel mesh and finished with a marine-grade polyester powder coating in green RAL 6005, the fencing provides superior resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity in the harsh seaside climate. Its innovative mesh configuration allows for excellent ball rebound, minimising disruptions during play while maintaining clear visibility of the surrounding landscape.
The fencing’s vandal-resistant security clips and tamper-proof fixings further reinforce its integrity, preventing unauthorised interference and ensuring the facility remains safe and secure for years to come. Additionally, the sleek and modern design enhances the overall visual appeal of the courts, seamlessly integrating with the natural coastal surroundings.
Enhancing community sports facilities
By implementing EuroGuard® Rebound sports mesh fencing, Jacksons Fencing has played a crucial role in elevating the functionality and longevity of West Beach Tennis Courts. The installation not only secures the site but also enhances the playing experience for tennis enthusiasts, ensuring a professional and well-maintained facility for the local community.
Peter Jackson, Managing Director of Jacksons Fencing, stated: “We are proud to contribute to the transformation of West Beach Tennis Courts by providing a high-performance, long-lasting fencing solution. Our EuroGuard® Rebound system not only meets the practical demands of security and durability but also enhances the overall appearance of the facility.
