ZONE Guarding Safety Fencing Standard Specifications

The floor clearance from the bottom of panels to the ground is 175mm, complying with safety standards AS4024.1802 (see Safety section).

The ‘T’ slot post is 86mm in width and panel brackets add 14mm (7mm on each side) to the installation width. Post centres are exactly 100mm more than the panel width. The overall length of a guard is simply the sum of the panel widths plus 100mm per post.

Panel and door clearances are the same so access door locations can be changed.

Mesh Panels are constructed of 25mm x 25mm x 3mm welded mesh with an aperture of 22mm x 22mm, allowing our guarding to be located 120mm from hazards. (see Safety section for safety distances).

Other sizes available on request.

Guard heights should be chosen to ensure safety distances are maintained. Our standard guard height of 2000mm caters for nearly all applications.

Rather than using post centre distances, panels are specified according to their actual width and height. This allows the installer to measure the panels and relate them to the drawings and parts lists. This is also easier when working with small infill panels.

The panel height added to the ground clearance gives the guard height. The choice of panel widths will affect the rigidity of the guard and should be selected with the aim of ensuring adequate safety provisions for the required application.

Standard panels can be utilised either as fixed wall panels or as doors depending on the bracket and mounting components selected.

The mid mount, offset and corner post feet are 180mm by 180mm wide, while the narrow post foot is 180mm by 100mm wide.

Our footplates are generously sized to allow plenty of room when using large concrete drills. They are manufactured from 8mm steel plate for extra strength.
