04 BowTop Play

Zaun‘s BowTop Play Playground Fencing is an attractive system that is often used around play areas. Zaun’s BowTop Play Playground Fencing is manufactured to RoSPA guidelines and BS 1722 part 9 compliant, to make it as safe as possible.

The nature of the BowTop playground fencing system means that parents have an unhindered view of their children in the play area, and the system itself means that children can play safely. All of the bars and ‘bows’ are spaced so as to minimise the chance of wrist or neck trap occurring.

The vertical bars are very difficult for children to climb and so help ensure they stay in the play area.

Available in standard panels from stock or bespoke panels can be manufactured to non-standard length and raked and radiused to suit individual requirements.

Available in two heights 1.0m and 1.2m. Each railing is supplied with panels, posts, stepping cleats and security fixings. Supplied hot dip galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 and optional Polyester Powder Coated.

Matching Bow Top gate or slow closing safety gate also available.

Finish

Hot dip galvanised to ISO1461 & optional polyester powder coated, after stringent cleaning & treatment to give a well adhered coating with a minimum of 60 microns.

All Zaun posts/panels/gates and painted auxiliary components (for example clamp-bars, slide bolts etc) benefit from a protective zinc layer and electrostatically applied polyester powder coating to BS1722 p16. Care is taken with pre-treatment to ensure sound adhesion between the zinc layer and the paint. In a UK C1 environment, as defined in ISO 12944 p2, this should ensure a useful life expectancy of the fence of at least 15-20 years. Life expectancy in all environments can be extended by maintenance of the fencing with regular washing. Useful life will be reduced if the fencing is damaged. Any coating damage should be repaired to reduce the effect on useful life.

Enhanced painting systems such as marine coatings are also available for improved life expectancy in C2-C5M environments.
