Important considerations for MUGA Fencing

Enclosing a sports area is as much about the spectator as it is about the participants. There are a number of key points to consider:

  • Fencing of a substantial height is often necessary for ball sports like 5 a-side football and tennis
  • Fencing should be strong and resilient to high forces such as participants crashing into it at speed
  • Sporting events should be easily observable by outside spectators whilst at the same time the enclosure should keep them safe
  • Access doors and gates should have similar ball retention properties as the fence and should shut and lock securely
  • High rebound properties might need to be included in bottom section of the panels.
  • There should be no sharp or protruding parts that might cause injury.

When looking to purchase MUGA fencing, we recommend that you buy the strongest and most resilient fence if you are planning on playing a variety of different sports. Pretty much any sport can be played on a MUGA. From professional to training games, MUGAs can be designed for all ages.

MUGA Fencing for Schools

There are plenty of benefits of installing MUGA fences in schools:

  • Hard Wearing: Our fences are strong, robust, durable and resilient to repeated impact, from balls or any other equipment. Key features of any multi-use games area.
  • Great Visibility: Teachers and parents can have a good look in to the game’s areas. The children inside the area can also look out and see you cheering them on!
  • Safe Design: The flush safety edges are another feature of MUGA Fencing. This is important in high speed, high impact sports areas.
  • Anti-Climb: As well as having safe design, the anti-climb properties make it harder for children to climb and for trespassers or vandals to enter the area.
  • Easy to Install: Installing is quick and efficient. This minimises disruptions to school premises and activity. It also means the installation costs are reasonable.
  • Low Maintenance: MUGA fencing is specifically designed for multiple sports and is created to be robust and long-lasting, keeping maintenance costs low.
  • Cost Effective: All benefits combine to make a cost-effective choice for schools.
  • Great Rebound Properties: Keep the balls in play with our MUGA fences, and create an enjoyable, safe playing atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

The term MUGA is used a lot within the industry. MUGA stands for Multi-Use Games Area, usually manufactured from artificial grass.

MUGA fencing is a generic term used to describe a mesh fence system of enclosing many different types of sporting arenas. Our standard approach is to use a woven mesh fence panel mounted on upright posts and consisting of 200mm by 50mm rectangular apertures. A rebound panel 1.2m high is often incorporated into the bottom of the panel but this is optional.
The strength of the fencing is dictated by the diameter of the vertical support posts and also the thickness of the wire used for the mesh element. The lighter mesh wire thickness is known as 656 but we also offer the superior strength 868 system. All fittings used in a MUGA installation incorporate anti-tamper properties as standard and a barbed element can be included at the top of the panel to deter anyone seeking to climb over when the facilities are locked. The mesh fencing panels, gates and posts can be pre-painted to any colour or even a combination of colours on the RAL colour scale.

When a permanent sports and gaming arena is planned we would usually go with the preferred option of bedding the upright posts into a strong concrete foundation. Sometimes this is not possible and the alternative fallback option is to use base-plates and bolts. The best options for each particular site are usually determined by way of an initial site survey. We have a team of talented designers who have a well-earned reputation for their ability to design a solution to just about any problem.

It did not go unnoticed that you were put in a very difficult predicament by the failings of our ground works contractor but despite this, you and your team stuck at it working late nights and weekends to help us achieve the completion date. It’s very rare to see a Managing Director rolling his sleeves up to help his team out but you did this on numerous occasions in atrocious weather conditions and on weekends and for this we cannot thank you enough.

This leads me on to your site team who worked extremely close with our site team for the duration of the project and despite the extreme weather and ground conditions they simply got on with it. They’re attitude and willingness to complete the job in hand is fantastic, this together with the standard of work produced all makes for a winning team.

I have worked with numerous quality men over the last 30 years, and this has to be up there as one of the best. Please pass on our thanks to your team. Thanks again for your efforts on the project and we wish you every success in the future and hope your business grows. It has been a pleasure working with you on YGGT and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in the near future.
