Description
Spectator Rail is a tubular steel perimeter demarcation system designed to create a defined spectator boundary around sports pitches.
Manufactured from robust steel tubular sections with secure horizontal rail fixings, the system improves safety by reducing the risk of spectator encroachment onto the playing surface while maintaining clear sightlines for viewing.
The rail can be supplied open or infilled with Zaun mesh systems including Duo Sport or Duo Super Rebound. Where mesh infill is used, a safety capping strip is incorporated to minimise finger trap risks.
Gates of various widths can be integrated into the perimeter to allow maintenance and equipment access.
The system is designed to align with current FA ground grading guidance for applicable levels of football.
