Jacksons Fencing has recently completed a project with the Kingdom Hall in Hoddesdon, striving to enhance both the safety and visual appeal of its premises. As a place of worship for Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Kingdom Hall is meticulously maintained by its congregants to embody modesty and purpose. The primary goal was to bolster security against unauthorised access, vandalism, and theft, while also complementing the dignified exterior of the place of worship.
Recognising the importance of creating a secure yet welcoming environment for congregation members and visitors alike, Jacksons Fencing was entrusted to install vertical bar railings around the building’s perimeter. These railings, coated in black architectural grade polyester powder, were chosen for their security features and aesthetic compatibility with the existing brick façade.
The selection of a black polyester powder coating not only ensures durability and weather resistance, but also aligns with the hall’s commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, by minimising maintenance needs. Safety and security were paramount concerns for the premises. To prevent unauthorised access, vandalism, and theft, and to safeguard everyone within the premises, the installation of vertical bar railings was deemed essential.
Additionally, enhancing the building’s exterior aesthetics was a key consideration. The decision to use black polyester powder-coated railings was driven by the ability to harmonise with the brick façade, thereby enhancing the overall sophistication of the hall’s appearance. Jacksons Fencing’s experienced installation team anchored the Barbican Imperial® vertical bar railings to the brick wall, utilising cranked posts for added stability.
The black polyester powder-coated finish was chosen for its longevity and low maintenance, reflecting Jehovah’s Witnesses’ emphasis on sustainable practices and responsible investments.
Environmental stewardship is at the heart of Jehovah’s Witnesses teachings, and this principle guided every aspect of the project. Emphasising quality and longevity reduces lifetime costs and environmental impact by decreasing waste and the need for replacements.
Jacksons Fencing’s 25 year guarantee on both steel and timber products further ensured that the fencing and gates were an ideal fit for this project. The installation of the vertical bar railings not only delineated clear boundaries but also effectively deterred unauthorised access, ensuring unobstructed views from inside the building to the surroundings and contributing to a safer environment.
Through detailed planning, bespoke design, and precise execution, the Kingdom Hall achieved significant advancements in both security and aesthetics. This project not only addressed the practical needs of the congregation but also enhanced the visual harmony of the premises, creating a secure and welcoming environment for all.
Peter Jackson, Managing Director, Jacksons Fencing, says “We are proud to have contributed to creating a secure and welcoming environment for the Kingdom Hall in Hoddesdon. In today’s world, ensuring the safety and well-being of congregation members and visitors is more important than ever.”
“We have worked closely with the congregation to ensure the final solution is fit for purpose now and well into the future. Our products aim to help the community feel safe and secure as they worship and gather.”
