SpectaRail
First Fence's new spectator railing system which has been designed specifically for safety

 

What is SpectaRail? 

Sports Fencing Designed to Enhance Safety

SpectaRail® is a type of spectator rail, typically found around sports applications including and not limited to; Football, Rugby and Athletics

Where is Spectator Railing Fencing Installed? 

SpectaRail® is manufactured from twin wire 868 mesh, known by the Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) as ‘Twin Bar’. SpectaRail® is a perfect complement for Football, Rugby and MUGA, whilst also being suitable for Tennis, Netball and Athletics. 

The SAPCA sports fencing suitability matrix (as below) highlights a fence's suitability for a sports application. 1 (Green) = most suitable, 2 (Yellow) = suitable, and 3 (Red) = not suitable 

Standards? 

Where possible, SpectaRail® has followed the guidance outlined in the below code of practice: 

FA Ground-Grading Guidance 2022

SAPCA COP 2022

Safety

Where is safety promoted?

SpectaRail® has been designed to include safety as standard:

SpectaRail® Safety-Clamp

The innovative three sided clamp bar conceals the 22mm gap created by the thickness of the 868 twin mesh panel. This gap (between the traditional clamp bar and mesh post) is prone to potential finger entrapment with football and rugby players. 

 

SpectaRail® Non-Removable Handrails 

The concealed anti-removable handrail fixing method prevents any potential manipulation of handrail removal 

 

SpectaRail® 180 Degree Hinges

The ability to fully open single and double gates 180 degrees against the adjacent fencing bay allows for no protrusions in the field or walkway
