Olympic legacy leads to development of grating fencing

Striking new fencing installed at Olympic legacy venues has been launched by perimeter fencing manufacturer Zaun.

The Grata grating fence solution has been used at two sites on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park – the ArcelorMittal Orbit and the former hockey venue at Eton Manor, now transformed into the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre.

Zaun has designed a mesh grating system that can be suitably adapted to a variety of applications, from perimeter fencing to cladding and handrails. Grating fences are perfect for the modern environment and provide sites with a more aesthetic and contemporary appearance.

The grating fence system consists of a combination of bearing bars and filler control bars running in both directions that are pressed and welded together in one process in a pressure welder to give Grata system maximum strength.

All products are hot-dip galvanized and available powder coated in any colour. The system comes with optional sliding and swing pedestrian and vehicle gates to fit the environment in which the fence line is placed.
