Single Mesh Pitch Fencing — Pro Pitch PVC Perimeter Fence System

Single Mesh Pitch Fencing — Pro Pitch PVC System

A solid, permanent infilled barrier at a more accessible price point. Single-layer welded mesh meets FA permanent barrier requirements at Steps 5–7 and suits all levels of rugby union and rugby league. SGS certified, zero maintenance, 15-year warranty.

✓ FA Steps 5–7 Compliant ✓ RFU Regional Level ✓ NCRL Suitable ✓ SGS Certified ✓ 15-Year Warranty ✓ Grant Eligible
The Smart Choice for Steps 5–7 and Community Rugby

For clubs at FA Steps 5–7 where infill is not formally mandated but a permanent barrier is required, Single Mesh delivers exactly what’s needed — a solid, professional-looking perimeter fence with real ball retention at a competitive price. For rugby union Regional leagues and NCRL clubs, it provides a clear pitch boundary and significantly improved ground presentation. And if your football club gains promotion to Steps 1–4, upgrading to Double Mesh infill within the same post and rail framework is straightforward.

FA Steps 1–4 — Double Mesh Required

Single Mesh does not satisfy the mandatory solid infill requirement at FA Steps 1–4. If your club is at Steps 1–4 or expects promotion to Steps 1–4, the Double Mesh system is the correct specification. View Double Mesh Fencing →

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Single Mesh be upgraded to Double Mesh later?

Yes. The post and rail framework is the same across both systems. If your club gains promotion to Steps 1–4 and needs to upgrade to Double Mesh infill, the posts and rails remain in place and only the mesh panels are replaced. Contact us to confirm the upgrade path for your specific installation.

Is Single Mesh eligible for Football Foundation grants?

Yes. Football Foundation fencing grants cover permanent pitch perimeter barriers at all FA steps including Steps 5–7. Single Mesh qualifies as a permanent infilled barrier. Grants cover up to 75% of project cost up to £25,000. Read the full grants guide →

How is Single Mesh different from Double Mesh visually?

Both systems look virtually identical at ground level — the same bright white PVC posts and rails, the same overall profile. The difference is in the mesh infill: Double Mesh has two layers of welded mesh providing denser infill and maximum ball retention. Single Mesh has one layer. Both provide a solid, professional-looking barrier that is significantly better presented than post and rope or hi-vis fencing.
