Multi Coloured Metal Play Time

Next generation Metal Playtime® is perfect for playgrounds and much more

These attractive panels differ from our standard metal Playtime fencing in several ways; the pales sit in a frame and do not go through the top and bottom rail. The pales pass through internal side of the rails and are fixed with a unique non-welded assembly system fitted with a rubber strip to prevent movement and rattling.

The panel rails are powder coated in green (RAL 6005). The pale configuration is as standard Metal Playtime with pales alternately coloured in blue (RAL 5010), yellow (RAL 1018) and red (RAL 3020) giving the fence a cheerful appearance suitable for playgrounds. (Other colours are also available). Gate can be supplied to match.

Self-Closing Gate

RoSPA approved self-closing gate is ideal for schools and play areas

The intelligent design of this self-closing gate matches the new safer Anti-Trap bow Top fencing overleaf, not just in looks but with it’s improved safety factors. The integral hinge at floor level ensures it always returns to a closed position every time it is opened. Limbs can not be trapped between the hanging stile and the posts, or the hoops above the top rail of the gate. The speed of the closing mechanism can be altered to between 1 - 60 seconds, and it also has a “soft close” feature to prevent slamming or trapping fingers. The gates are available with a high visibility coating to distinguish access in line with RoSPA recommendations. (Other colours are available).

Also available with a dog grid to prevent animal access to play areas.
