PVC Fencing for Schools & Nurseries

White PVC picket fencing is a practical, low-maintenance choice for nursery and school play areas: it stays bright and clean year after year, never needs painting or staining, and won’t rot, warp, splinter or rust. We supply the complete system — panels, posts, caps and gates — for installation by your own contractor.

Why schools and nurseries choose PVC over timber

• Low maintenance — no repainting or staining; a quick wipe or hose-down restores the finish, so it stays smart on a busy site with minimal upkeep budget.
• Weatherproof & durable — won’t rot, warp or rust, and the smooth surface has no flaking paint or splinters.
• Clear sightlines — an open picket profile keeps a play area visible and bright while still defining the boundary.
• Works with your setup — pairs with existing canopies, artificial grass and safety post-pads, with matching gates on self-closing hinges.

A recent nursery project (Rotherham)

We recently supplied white PVC straight-top picket fencing for the outdoor play area of a Rotherham day nursery — a clean, bright boundary around the artificial-grass space, with a matching gate. Low-maintenance and weatherproof, it’s built to look smart through years of daily use.

Fencing supplied by Simple Fencing for a Rotherham day nursery. Supply-only — installation by the customer’s contractor.

Sizes & styles for play areas

Straight-top picket in 3ft (0.9m) and 4ft (1.2m) heights suits most nursery and school play boundaries; 6ft (1.83m) and 8ft (2.44m) panel widths keep post counts down on long runs. Add matching gates and, where needed, blank posts for gate openings. Plan the exact run, posts and gates in the Fence Planner, or browse Picket Fencing for perimeters.
