School Fencing, Punchbowl Boys High School

About this project

School Fencing, Punchbowl Boys High School

Perforated school fencing made by Arrow Metal is an A+ upgrade for Punchbowl Boys High School, creating a space that inspires and connects.

Punched with the school’s emblem and motto ‘Where Good Men Grow’, perforated panels were the top answer to the NSW Government’s brief to makeover the school’s courtyard, creating multiple recreational zones while ensuring safe student movement and open sightlines of all areas.

Perforated Metal: A Cost-Effective School Fencing Solution

As a public sector project, all materials for Punchbowl Boys High School’s outdoor upgrade had to meet strict design, budget, and performance criteria. Specifying perforated metal for the school fencing ensured strength, durability, and minimal maintenance with the benefit of customisation to promote the school’s identity.

Working closely with project contractor, we perforated the motto and emblem into 3mm-thick aluminium using PixelPerf, our custom CAD-drawn technology that perfectly replicates images, illustrations, and text in perforated metal. As a finishing touch, each of the 18 panels was folded 40mm on all sides to create a neat margin finish, with contractor powder-coating the panels in navy blue to replicate the school colours.

Sloping School Fencing Challenges

One of the significant challenges of the Punchbowl Boys High School project was the sloping terrain of the school grounds. We custom-fabricated each panel to fit the landscape angles, ensuring the school fencing and its emblem and motto maintained a seamless, straight appearance despite the uneven surface.

This attention to detail ensured the fencing functionality and aesthetic appeal were not compromised, creating a striking yet practical solution for the school’s unique outdoor space.

Perforated Metal For Educational Projects

As our latest educational project, Punchbowl Boys High School’s smart new outdoor area is another example of the versatility of perforated metal for all types of public and private sector educational briefs.

See how perforated metal enhanced the school environment and ensured maximum project ROI in some of our other educational case studies across Sydney and NSW:

• Thuringowa State High School: Custom perforated signage for a new multipurpose hall featuring the school’s mascots and motto.

• Pittwater House, Northern Beaches: Cost-effective building modernisation using perforated metal to cover classroom exteriors and create new walkways.

• Oxford Falls Grammar: New multimillion-dollar campus development featuring a perforated facade, bridge, and staircase.

• Sydney Secondary College: Perforated cladding to cover old school buildings, ensuring modernisation without student disruption.
