When it comes to caravan storage, safety and security are critical. A well-designed fencing system not only protects valuable caravans but also reassures customers that their property is safe. At Ashdale Fencing, we recently completed a large-scale installation at a caravan park in Hilton, Derby. This project combined several fencing types to deliver durability, security, and long-lasting performance.
Why Caravan Parks Need Robust Fencing
Caravan parks and storage sites are prime targets for theft, trespass, and vandalism. Without proper boundary protection, the risk to both owners and site managers is significant. Investing in quality fencing provides:
-
Enhanced security against break-ins
-
Controlled access for vehicles and pedestrians
-
Clear boundaries to define property lines
-
Durability to withstand weather and wear
-
Customer peace of mind when storing caravans
These benefits make fencing more than just a boundary – it becomes a long-term investment in site protection.
The Hilton Caravan Park Fencing Project
In Hilton, Derby, we carried out a comprehensive fencing installation that included:
-
2.4 metre V-mesh fencing – delivering strong security and visibility
-
Galvanised palisade fencing with knee rail – highly resistant to tampering and intrusions
-
6-metre V-mesh gate – large enough for vehicle access while maintaining site security
-
Replacement of old feather-edged panels – installing new 6-foot timber fencing with concrete posts and timber cappings for a long-lasting, neat finish
Adding rebar for a concrete gate entrance
This combination of fencing types provided the perfect balance of strength, access control, and aesthetics. The V-mesh ensures visibility while remaining secure, while palisade fencing offers one of the highest levels of boundary protection available. The timber fencing added privacy, durability, and a smart appearance to the site.
V-Mesh Fencing for Caravan Parks
V-mesh fencing is a popular choice for caravan storage areas because:
-
Its welded steel mesh design makes it strong and tamper-resistant
-
The see-through design allows for natural surveillance, reducing hidden areas
-
Galvanised coating protects against rust and weather damage
-
Heights up to 2.4m provide robust security
By including a 6-metre V-mesh gate, the Hilton site gained both secure perimeter control and ease of access for large vehicles.
Palisade Fencing for Maximum Security
Galvanised palisade fencing is a tried-and-tested solution for high-security areas. At Hilton, the inclusion of a knee rail reinforced its stability. Benefits include:
-
Long-lasting galvanised finish
-
Strong vertical pales designed to deter climbing
-
Excellent resistance against forced entry attempts
-
Minimal maintenance required over time
For caravan parks needing the highest level of security, palisade fencing remains one of the best investments.
Timber Panels for Privacy and Aesthetic Appeal
While mesh and palisade fencing focus on security, many sites also require sections of fencing that improve privacy and appearance. At Hilton, we replaced ageing feather-edged fencing with new 6-foot panels supported by concrete posts. Timber cappings provided a neat and weather-resistant finish.
This ensured the caravan park not only gained security but also looked professional and welcoming to visitors.
