Fencing for the Iconic Hilsea Lido Refurbishment in Portsmouth

The reopening of Hilsea Lido marks a significant milestone for Portsmouth. It revitalises one of the most cherished community landmarks in the city. Knight Fencing is proud to have supported the main contractor, Beard, during the extensive refurbishment works. This project transformed the site into a year-round destination for health, wellbeing, and community activity, and we are pleased to have provided the perimeter security and aesthetic boundaries required for such a high-profile location.

Specialist Fencing for a Coastal Environment

Working in a coastal environment presents unique challenges, especially regarding the longevity of metal components. To meet this challenge our team installed marine-coated framed 358 mesh security gates.  These gates are specifically treated to resist corrosion from salt air and harsh weather. This treatment ensures that the site remains secure and the gates maintain their structural integrity for years to come.

In addition to the high-Security Fencing Solutions, our scope of work included:

• Approximately 70 metres of 2.0m high Jacksons tongue and groove fencing.
• Matching timber gates to provide a seamless and professional finish.
• Expertly fitted hardware designed for heavy communal use.

The chosen Jacksons tongue and groove fencing provides a premium look. And this look complements the new facilities and social spaces, offering both privacy and a clean, modern aesthetic.

Quality Workmanship and Community Investment

As a family-run business with decades of experience, Knight Fencing is dedicated to delivering results that last. Our manufacturing staff and installation crews are expertly trained to meet the high standards expected on major refurbishment projects.

Precision was essential for the Hilsea Lido site, to ensure the timber and metal elements integrated perfectly with the existing architecture and new developments. And our team were perfectly suited to rise to this challenge.

Safety is always our priority, especially in public spaces. Our installation crews hold all necessary health and safety certifications, ensuring that every gate and fence panel was installed with the utmost care. This refurbishment is more than just a fresh coat of paint, it is a real investment in the future of the local area. We are honoured to have contributed our expertise to the project.

Your Partner for Large-Scale Refurbishments

Whether we are working with local authorities or national companies like Beard, Knight Fencing provides the same level of dedication and quality. Our professional craftsmen in the workshop ensure that every bespoke gate and fence section meets our rigorous quality control standards before it reaches the site.

We wish everyone involved in the Hilsea Lido project the very best for the reopening. It is fantastic to see this Portsmouth landmark ready to welcome the public once again.
