The Mandatory Choice for FA Steps 1–4

The FA Stadium Accreditation Criteria requires a permanent, solid infilled barrier at Steps 1–4 of the National League System. The Double Mesh system provides exactly that — a dual-layer welded mesh panel through which the ball cannot pass and which explicitly meets the FA’s infill requirement. It is the only Pro Pitch system that satisfies the Steps 1–4 mandate outright. At Steps 5–7 and all levels of rugby, it remains the recommended specification — the highest-performing system in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does FA Steps 1–4 require double mesh specifically?

The FA Stadium Accreditation Criteria requires a permanent solid infilled barrier through which the ball cannot pass or be played under. Double mesh infill provides this by design. Single mesh also meets the infill definition at Steps 1–4, but double mesh is the specification recommended and installed at the vast majority of Step 1–4 grounds due to its superior structural integrity and ball retention.

Can we get funding for Double Mesh fencing?

Yes. Football Foundation fencing grants of up to £25,000 are available at all FA steps, covering up to 75% of project cost. The Football Foundation has no preferred supplier list — you can use the grant to purchase from The Outdoor Look. We provide all specification documents needed for your application free of charge. Read the full grants guide →

Is the landed cost quoted per running metre?

Yes — all pricing is quoted per running metre of completed fence. This includes posts, rails, mesh panels and fixings. Gates are priced separately. Contact us for a full itemised quote for your specific perimeter length.

How long does installation take?

For a standard 11-a-side football pitch (approximately 350m perimeter), a competent team of four with a mechanical post-hole borer typically completes installation over three days — posts on day one, cure on day two, rails and mesh on day three. Read the full installation guide →

What makes this different from Duralock?

Both systems use PVC post and rail construction with mesh infill. The Pro Pitch system uses a single-chamber hollow rectangular post section installed by concreting into the ground — a robust, straightforward method. Posts are spaced at 2,500mm centres compared to 2,000mm on some competitors, reducing post count per pitch and offering a genuine cost advantage. Every order includes a drill jig for consistent fixing holes on site.
