12 • JULY 2018 • WORLD FENCE NEWS Vehicles and children at play are a potentially dangerous combination, and daycare and preschool facilities are a perfect example. What if a parent accidentally puts the car into drive instead of reverse and lurches forward? Or a driver loses control of their vehicle and it hurtles toward the playgound or pickup area? Standard fences would offer the children little protection, but Ameri- star ® has intro- duced a safer solution. The Stal- wart II ® fence and barrier sys- tem for daycares and preschools integrates the design features of a tradition- al ornamental iron fence with the resilience of the Stalwart anti-ram barri- er, to effectively stop a vehicle from crashing into daycare grounds. The light or- namental design of the pickets adds a decorative touch to the exterior grounds while the rails contain the passive cable barrier sys- tem. "We start with the Montage Plus fence panels in the Pool, Pet, Play variation which feature a 3" picket airspace and a flush top and bottom rail," said Ameristar product manag- er Mike Elmore. "This configuration is safer for little hands and feet than the traditional picket spacing and rail. Next, we integrate additional rails and bollard posts to house the Stalwart an- ti-ram cables." The cable barrier system is engi- neered to meet a PU30/P2 designation under the ASTM F2656 stadard. The designation indicates that the barri- er provides impact protection from a 5,070 pound vehicle traveling at 30 miles per hour. "The ornamental picket design blends into its s u r r o u n d i n g s while not draw- ing attention to itself, but still maintains the r e q u i r e m e n t s of an anti-ram barrier," he said. "Stalwart II se- curity fences use the same fence framework as the Impasse high security fence, giving it the ability to in- tegrate multiple security com- ponents without a costly patch- work installa- tion. "These features make Stalwart II the preferred choice among daycare owners. Our fence systems can be seen at Goddard School, Children's Learning Adventure and Primrose Schools," Elmore added.
