Dog Park Fencing and Upgrades

Description

Removal and disposal of existing chainmail fencing and posts surrounding the dog park.

Main Park Area

Installation of approx. 336m of fencing around the perimeter of the dog park

1.8m high galvanised mesh, optional powder coating, to be used above ground 

Installation of metal posts with 2.4m spacing, concreted at least 40cm deep.

The fence needs to be deer-proof and meet the dog park building standards as follows:

Fencing must be:

strong and rigid
in good repair to prevent an escape
dig proof
Gaps or apertures must be small enough to prevent a dog's head passing through, or entrapment of any limb or body parts. Square mesh size must not exceed 50 millimetres by 50 millimetres, and chain link must not exceed 75 millimetres by 50 millimetres. The diameter of the wire must not be thinner than 2 millimetres (British Standard 14 gauge welded mesh).

A secondary run of 1m high mesh to be installed around the perimeter, buried at least 40cm in the ground, to prevent badgers. 

Trenching for the secondary run to be dug, and backfilled with soil & grass seeding as required.

1 single pedestrian gate (1.2m wide) including posts 
1 single-vehicle gate (3.4m wide) including gate posts

Inner-Secured Dog Area

Installation of 48m of fencing to create a sectioned-off (puppy/nervous dog) area inside the newly fenced dog park

1.8m high galvanised mesh, in keeping with the perimeter fencing to be used above ground 

Installation of metal posts with 2.4m spacing, concreted at least 40cm deep.

1 single pedestrian gate (1.2m wide) including posts
1 single-vehicle gate (3.4m wide) including gate posts

Bridge Entrance

The entranceway over the bridge should be bordered with 1m high fencing with a 1m high entrance gate to prevent escape onto the highway.

*** Please note all gates and fencing should be 1.8 meters high except for the badger-proof fencing and the bridge entrance.
