Manufacture and Installation of the New Palisade gates for the boxing club.

Queensbury boxing club enquired about a simple set of gates to be manufactured and fitted on a tight budget to prevent unwanted access to the rear of the premises.

We agreed on a basic design, galvanized not painted or powder coated to keep costs down.

The gates were fitted on time and on budget as agreed with the customer.

A new all weather athletics track for Moor Park Junior School

Sandford Hill Primary School asked us to create a children’s play road for them to use with their little vehicles at play time.

The existing tarmac surface was not the best, so we used bright colours for the road. We went for blue and yellow and replicated a road with directional arrows and lane markings.

From Sandyford HIll

"We have been using Country Grounds services for a number of years now and whilst we know there are cheaper options available, we are really pleased with the quality, reliability and flexibility that they offer and would highly recommend them. We have recently requested a scooter/cycle track to be painted on our KS1 playground and we are so delighted with the result we are now looking to have tracks painted on the other playgrounds."

FOB Access Gates for St Pauls Catholic Academy

St Pauls Catholic Academy Gates

St Pauls approached us regarding their school entrance gates. They were quite old and not looing their best so we sat down to discuss what we could do for them.

We decided that we could make a new set of modern gates that would not only look nice, clean and modem but would improve the security and every day operations. The school provided us with some images of a style of gates they liked and we manufactured a modern version of them using laser cutting technology and provided a unique set of gates for the school.

We installed a Paxton access switch 2 controller with metal proximity readers for FOB access and a GSM code look intercom system. We also installed it with a push to exit pedestrian gate, and for vehicles to exit we fitted and auto exit vehicle road.

St Pauls Catholic Academy Parents Standing Area

St Pauls had a slight operational problem when parents pick up their children as there was no standing area for parents and kids would come out and have to cross the grassed area to get to the main pathway.

Obviously in wet and wintery conditioned this could get messy. We decided to reuse some of the grassed areas and created a pathway to join the main pathway using new concrete edging kerbs. We applied a suitable base and a tarmacked finish; we also, made the entrance pathway wider to allow prams and buggies to pass each other safely at busy times of the school day.

"Yet again our growing list of half term tarmacking requirements have been met! This is not the first time that I have used County grounds to undertake resurfacing and repair work. The team are hardworking and have a keen eye for detail. We are thrilled with our latest resurfaced paths and would not hesitate to recommend Gareth and he team."

Athletics Track - Moor Park Junior School

A new all weather athletics track for Moor Park Junior School

Moor Park Infant School had an area of artificial grass that they use for football and games.

They asked if we could mark out an athletics track for them for the children to use for sports day. The area was very small for an athletics track so we had to scale it down a lot which is quite challenging but our experienced markers rose to the challenge and the school was very happy with the end results.
