Twin Wire Sports Fencing

Pro-Twin 868: Robust Sport Fencing Solutions

Our Pro-Twin 868 fencing system comprises fully-welded panels of wire mesh fabricated from vertical 6 mm diameter wires and twin horizontal 8 mm wires either side of the verticals. For the lower 1.2 m of the fence, the mesh size is 50 mm wide by 66.5 mm high; above 1.2 m the vertical spacing is 200 mm (all dimensions are nominal). The combination of twin-wire configuration, large-diameter wires and small mesh size for the lower 1.2 m ensures that balls rebound back into play – and the risk of injury for players is also minimised should they contact the fence.

Standard fence heights range from 3.0 to 5.0 m (other heights are available on request), with post centres at 2.52 m. Panels and posts are galvanised and powder coated for a long, maintenance-free life. Fences are normally finished in green or black, but other colours can be supplied to order.

To secure the panels to the posts, our Pro-Twin 868 system features clamp bars and zinc-plated domed screws to present a virtually flush finish for the play side of the fencing. Optional security fasteners can be specified to provide additional protection against tampering and vandalism.

To complement the Pro-Twin 868 sport fencing we can manufacture, supply and install access gates in standard or bespoke sizes and with the same rebound characteristics. In addition, we can add goal recesses, basketball backboards, rings and nets, or other features requested by the client.

As a market leader with over 100 years’ experience in fencing and railings, we offer a full turnkey service that covers site surveys, consultations, design, manufacture and installation. Unlike other suppliers, we only use our own installation teams not subcontractors, so we maintain complete control over quality throughout every phase of the project to ensure the end result meets the highest possible standards.
What are the key features of sport fencing?

Procter Pro-Twin 868 mesh fencing system is highly robust and longlasting, comprising prefabricated welded mesh panels and RHS (rectangular hollow section) steel posts. The posts are set in concrete and the panels attached to the post using clamp bars and zinc-plated screws that fasten into threaded inserts factory-installed in the posts. As a result, our installation teams spend the minimum amount of time on site.

Fence heights of 3.0, 4.0, 4.5 or 5.0 m are available, or we can produce other heights to order. Post centres are 2.52 m and the RHS steel post sections are 80×40, 100×50 or 120×60 mm, depending on the fence height.

The clamp bars and zinc-plated domed screws present a virtually flush finish for the play side of the fencing. Optional security fasteners can be specified to provide additional protection against tampering and vandalism.
All of our Pro-twin 868 fencing is galvanised and powder coated for long-term corrosion resistance and an excellent maintenance-free aesthetic. Standard colours are green RAL 6005 and black RAL 9005, but panels, post and clamp bars can alternatively be finished in other RAL colours.

“Our experience with Procter Contracts has been exceptional. Their Pro-Twin 868 fencing system not only provides robust security but also enhances the aesthetics of our sports facility.”

Check out our recent project at Mill Hill School case study, where we installed 3.0m high Pro-twin 868 sport fencing for the pitches. Our fencing solutions are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each project, ensuring high-quality results every time.

Another new-build school project in which we were involved was Highbury Grove Business & Enterprise College in Islington, London. For this project we supplied and installed railings and automated gates, and of particular interest is the sports fencing we installed to separate the MUGA from the running track.
