One Early Education Security Fencing Epping
Project Summary
- Client: One Early Education
- Location: Epping, Victoria
- Industry: Childcare
- Fence Type: Topped steel security fence
- Project Type: New Childcare Centre Development
Project Background
JFG Commercial and Industrial Fencing was engaged to design and install a security fencing system for a new childcare centre in Epping, Melbourne.
One Early Education opened its doors on 25 January 2018 and provides early learning services for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. As a childcare facility, maintaining a safe and secure environment is a key priority, particularly in outdoor play areas.
To support this, JFG installed a purpose-built security fence designed to create a secure perimeter while allowing children to safely use outdoor learning and play spaces. The fencing solution was developed to balance safety, durability and everyday usability for staff and children.
Fence Design & Safety Details
A topped steel security fence coated in black was installed, designed with a strong focus on safety and perimeter security.
The system features an anti-climb design with closely spaced pickets to prevent climbing or unauthorised access. The gaps between pickets are engineered to ensure small children cannot squeeze through, and the fence is also installed with minimal ground clearance to prevent access underneath.
Child-safe locking mechanisms were installed on all gates to ensure secure and controlled access to the childcare centre.
In addition to its safety function, the fencing provides a clean, professional appearance that enhances the entrance to the centre and creates a positive first impression for parents and visitors. Built from durable, high-quality materials, the system is designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
Scope of Works
- Site set-out and preparation
- Supply and installation of new fence
- Installation of steel posts and concrete footings
- Installation of perimeter fencing panels
- Installation of pedestrian access gates
- Final alignment and security testing
- Site clean-up and handover
Installation Process
The installation was carefully planned and coordinated to ensure the fencing system was delivered safely and efficiently within the active childcare environment.
Initial site measurements were taken to confirm fence alignment and ensure the layout matched the approved site plans. This allowed accurate positioning of posts and ensured a consistent perimeter line around the facility.
Steel posts were then installed and concreted into position to provide a strong and stable foundation for the fencing system. Once set, the fence panels were fixed into place with careful attention to alignment, spacing and overall finish.
Child-safe gates were installed at designated access points, with all hardware tested to ensure smooth operation and secure locking functionality. The final stage involved a full inspection of the installation, confirming the fence met safety requirements and was ready for use.
The project was completed with minimal disruption to the surrounding site, and the area was left clean and ready for immediate use.
Project Outcome
The completed fencing system provides a secure perimeter around the childcare centre, helping to control access to the site and support the safe use of outdoor play areas.
The installation delivers clearly defined boundaries between public and private areas, with controlled entry points for staff, parents and authorised visitors.
The finished system is designed for long-term durability, offering a low-maintenance solution that will continue to perform effectively in a high-use childcare environment.
