Fencing a play area keeps small children in, pets and neighbors out and lets adults relax. For commercial playgrounds, a fence and a controlled entry are often essential.
We install fences and self-closing, self-latching gates around backyard playsets and play areas, with materials that match your home and landscape.
Fence styles
Picket, wood privacy, aluminum and vinyl fences all work. Taller fences and smaller gaps are safer for toddlers. Aluminum is see-through, and wood offers privacy.
Gates with self-closing hinges and latches placed above kids’ reach are key.
Planning the enclosure
The fence should leave a clear zone around the equipment and not create climbing aids. Gates should open outward and be wide enough for mowers and maintenance.
For commercial sites, we talk through access, visibility and local requirements.
From first call to first swing.
