Playground Fencing & Equipment

Recycled plastic play equipment is supplied flat-packed for self-assembly, or we can install it for you.

More information about our extensive range of seating and tables is available via the download links.

We can also produce mild steel handrails with a galvanised finish or, if required, we can also apply powder coating in your choice of colour.

Stainless steel handrails have a protective outer which is referred to as the oxide layer.  This oxide layer is enriched with chromium oxide and gives a very high degree of resistance to corrosion.

However, this resistance is reduced if the steel is not treated in the right way ahead of installation, with the result often being ‘tea staining’ and even slight rusting. These are the results of the protective oxide layer is partly removed, and this by heat or mechanical processes including welding, polishing and grinding.  In addition, if given time to develop in a stable atmosphere, stainless steel will develop a degree of its own protection.  So if not given that time and also if the steel is not treated with the right processes in the creation of a product such as a handrail, it will inevitably go on to develop unsightly signs of corrosion – and often in a relatively short period of time.

Procter stainless steel handrails have two treatments for the finish to ensure that corrosion is avoided and the handrail remains looking as it should:

1. Passivation.  This involves a relatively simple chemical process that instantly restores the protective oxide layer to the surfaces of the stainless steel after it has gone through a manufacturing process such as welding or grinding.  The process does not negatively change the appearance of the steel and is also fully compliant to the ASATM A 967specification.
2. Electro-polishing.  This is a process which provides the ultimate protection to stainless steel surfaces and results in the material being up to thirty times more corrosion-resistant than other processes.  As the name suggests, the method is carried out by electrolysis and removes a very small amount of material, with the resulting chemical reaction creating an extremely to ISO 15730, and is certainly what we would recommend for marine applications where salt water would be a problem without the treatment.  This process does make the appearance of the stainless steel somewhat brighter, though the degree of this can be controlled during the procedure.

Bespoke projects can draw on the wide range of material options and processes available from Procter Contracts, including mild or stainless steel, cast stone, concrete and timber.  Where the products are manufactured from steel, our specialist partner manufacturer can incorporate laser cut, punched or folded features and apply high quality, durable galvanised or powder coated finishes.

For products which include either cast stone or concrete, we use our own manufacturing facility.

Procter Contracts Are High Quality Bicycle Shelter Suppliers & Installers

We sell a wide range of bicycle storage solutions that are available to the market. When introducing one of our many bike products to our customers we like to cross-reference our quality criteria to make sure that they are buying the right fit for them.

• Stable and heavy duty
• Secure against theft and vandals
• Compatible to the situation
• Positioned in the right place.

Stable and Heavy duty

Our Standard bike storage products are manufactured from mild steel framed with a long-lasting galvanised finish. For more bespoke shelters we can apply a durable coloured polyester powder coat on top of the galvanised metal. The design of your cycle parking product should fit in visually with its surrounds. And using high quality always makes a statement about your sites commitment to bicycle parking.

Secure against theft and vandals

All our bike lockers and cycle stands provide secure locking systems so that the front wheel and bike frame can both securely be attached to the bike parking system. Without this security feature, thieves and vandals could easily break the lock and life the bike off.

Compatible to the situation

We cater our bike parking solutions to a wide range of customers. Office bike storage would be a different specification to a primary school bicycle shelter. In this situation, the school bike storage would require special provisions to allow for smaller bike stands to allow the easy parking of children size bikes and scoopers.

In addition, covered bike shelters at any site will make cycling a much more attractive option. This is especially true for commuters and school children. So we strongly recommend covered bicycle shelters for these types of sites.

Positioned in the right place

Bicycle parking shelters should be easy to find and well signed posted. Putting bike parking close to the entrance door makes a positive statement to both staff and customers alike. And helps deter vandals and thieves. Additional lighting or CCTV may also be needed. However organic surveillance by passers-by or by being overlooked is usually the best form of bike security.

Think Procter Contracts Think Secure Bicycle Storage Shelters!

Cyclists will be grateful if the bike parking is situated as close as possible to the entrance door. Sitting a bike shed where it is overlooked, or has passers-by will greatly increase security. Using an enclosed bike compound is another addition to adding security measures to a bike-parking site. As well as being secure, the bike shelter also protects the bikes from inclement weather conditions.

Finally we strongly recommend that parked bicycle shelters, stands and lockers be kept in a well-lit area. Setting the parking site where it overlooks CCTV, as CCTV cameras can provide reassurance for the cyclists and a deterrent for would-be thieves and vandals.

We can work with architects’ drawings, or we can come up with the design. The scale and nature of our manufacturing facility mean we are not in any way restricted to specific materials, and indeed we have manufactured and installed bin stores and plant screens in materials as varied as stainless steel to timber.

Our range includes fixed bollards and removable bollards, as well as parking posts, retractable posts, hinged posts, folding posts, lockable posts and sprung boundary posts. More information is available via the links below.

Procters Wide Range Of Bike Cycle shelters

Depending on the style of shelter or compound, weather protection is provided by UV-stabilised clear polymer sheeting, corrugated metal panels, treated timber or a combination of these. Most of our bike storage products are offered with rugged feet for casting-in or flanged feet for fastening to suitable surfaces.

Here are just a small selection of bike shelters we have supplied and installed:

• Office bike storage
• Bike shelters for schools
• Stainless steel cycle shelters
• Timber cycle shelters
• Enclosed cycle shelters
• Bike compound
• Bike lockers at train stations and metro links

At Procter contracts we have extensive knowledge and experience providing residential and commercial bike covers. We have worked within an array of industries including retail parks, commercial offices, residential housing estates, local council, schools, rail stations, metro links and much more.

Why Invest In Our Secure Bicycle Shelter? 

So whether you’re in charge of an office building, a contractor or a school head teacher, investing in a stainless steel cycle shelter is undoubtedly a good move for your organisation. With more and more people taking to the roads on bikes to get them from A to B, it seems only logical to give your customers somewhere safe and secure to store their bikes.

A secure bike storage shelter can help organisations respond to the recent surge in cycling’s popularity and the corresponding increased expectation that schools, employers, transport hubs and councils have to provide somewhere secure to store and park bikes. Our extensive range caters for all needs, from simple bike stands and racks, through to secure lockers, cycle shelters and compounds. Both classical and contemporary styles are available and, if none of our standard bike storage and parking products meet your requirements, we can also manufacture customised built bike shelter designs.

Procter Contracts regularly work with architects, contractors, civil engineers, property owners and developers on bespoke street furniture including one of our most popular products – our stainless steel bike cycle shelter for schools. With our one stop turnkey approach we can design, manufacture, and install. Call today for your FREE site visit and consultation.

Timber knee rail is excellent for straight runs, while curved runs can be constructed by careful cutting of the posts and rails. Alternatively, two posts can be installed adjacent to each other with their birdsmouth v-cuts at appropriate angles to support the rails. Timber knee rail fencing benefits from a very simple design and is constructed on-site, so it can easily be built to follow inclines or undulating terrain. In any event, timber knee rail fencing is quick to install.

We use only pressure-treated timber from sustainable UK supplies. The end result is a long-lasting fence that requires minimal maintenance, yet it can easily be repaired should the need arise. Thanks to the high-quality timber treatment and galvanised fixings, we are able to provide a 25-year guarantee.

If you require timber knee rail fences to a different design than the usual diamond rail format, talk to us about your requirements because we can design, manufacture and install bespoke timber knee rail fencing to meet your needs, working from detailed drawings or rough sketches.
