section is made of anti climb mesh. This
means that the system is less obtrusive and
does not dominate its surroundings, but also
as it can be seen through, there is no hiding
place above it.
This solution can be used in a number of
environments. It can be fitted to the exterior
of buildings to prevent people gaining
access to the grounds, and will not harm the
would-be intruder. Barbed wire and roll-top
spikes can cause serious injury to anyone
attempting entry via that route, and as
much we might think we don’t care about
the welfare of thieves and vandals, if they
injure themselves on site, albeit whilst
attempting to gain illegal access, the
financial implications for a club can be far
reaching.
The MACT system is also the cheapest of
the anti-climb alternatives, and as it is
lightweight means that it can usually be
fitted to existing buildings or structures. A
further benefit of fitting to existing structures
is that the system does not involve any
ground works, which can interfere with

like wooden kickboards that can need
replacing.
Zaun’s newly developed Hockey Fencing
also uses a closer mesh pattern to improve
the system. A tight mesh pattern to the
lower 210mm of the fence means that
wooden boards are not necessary. This
means Zaun’s solution is not only cheaper
to purchase, but, as there is no replacement
of wooden boards required over time, a
significant maintenance cost is eliminated.
The Zaun Hockey system is also
significantly quieter than wooden boards
during ball impact, which means that there
is less disturbance to neighbours or in the
case of schools, other pupils. All of Zaun’s
sports systems also use EPDM rubber
inserts to insulate the panels from the
posts. This further reduces any rattle that is
often associated with sports fencing
systems.
