Purpose of Go Kart Track Fencing

Track fencing keeps karts on course and spectators safe. It separates vehicles from walkways, pit areas, and operator zones. Barriers also support crowd control during events and direct foot traffic during entry and exit periods.

Track owners use fencing to meet insurance standards, create safer racing environments, and manage access to restricted areas such as loading bays or storage sheds.

Where Fencing Is Installed on Karting Sites

Fencing is positioned based on site layout, vehicle speed zones, and track length. Common installations include:

Outer perimeter of the track

Spectator boundaries

Pit lane separation

Emergency access lanes

Storage and refuelling areas

Entry and exit zones

Staff-only work areas

Each fencing layout is planned with operator input and site-specific safety priorities.

Fence Types and Material Options

Go kart tracks use a combination of barrier types depending on speed zones and space. We install:

Chainwire fencing

Used for perimeter boundaries and spectator areas. Provides visibility and airflow while defining zones.

Welded mesh panels

Suitable for low-speed impact zones or crowd separation. Resists tampering and holds shape well.

Post and rail fencing

Installed in areas requiring physical separation without obstructing vision, often in pit lanes or service zones.

Tyre wall integrationv

Where applicable, fencing can be integrated with tyre walls or energy-absorbing barriers to improve impact safety.

All fencing is selected to suit indoor or outdoor operation, with finishes available for corrosion resistance and visual alignment.

Safety and Impact Planning

Fencing must consider potential kart impact and clearance zones. We assess:

  • Entry and exit speeds
  • Sightlines around corners
  • Runoff areas in open sections
  • Spectator distance and elevation
  • Access for emergency response

Barriers are installed to support controlled impacts where needed or prevent access altogether in higher-risk areas.

Where fencing aligns with high-speed corners, extra clearance or protective padding can be installed behind the barrier.

Access Gates and Movement Control

Fencing must support daily staff access, emergency movements, and controlled customer flow. We install:

  • Swing gates for pit and vehicle access
  • Lockable gates for restricted areas
  • Sliding gates for wider entry zones
  • Manual and keyed locks depending on site needs

All gates are sized for safe movement of karts, trolleys, and support vehicles. Placement is planned to avoid obstructing race visibility or emergency zones.

Indoor and Outdoor Track Considerations

Indoor tracks require compact fencing designs that fit within building frames. We use:

  • Non-rusting finishes such as powder-coated mesh
  • Compact post spacing
  • Rounded corners or capped ends for safety

Outdoor tracks often include wind-exposed areas or varied ground. We install:

  • Galvanised finishes
  • Post bracing in open zones
  • Tensioned chainwire for long straight sections

Installations adapt to each site’s operational hours and surface type (asphalt, gravel, or mixed terrain).

Fencing for Public Access and Spectator Zones

Karting venues open to the public need fencing to direct flow and separate riders from waiting areas. We help design access paths for:

  • Customer queuing
  • Viewing decks and bleacher seating
  • Entry lanes with safety gates
  • Staff-only access to timing equipment or controls

Fencing height, mesh size, and finish are selected to keep spectators safe without blocking view.

Installation Timeline and Coordination

Installation steps include:

Onsite visit and layout review

Identification of access zones and hazard areas

Material selection and fencing height planning

Post installation and panel fitting

Gate alignment and testing

Final safety check with track operator

We coordinate work with track downtime or maintenance windows to avoid disrupting bookings or planned events.

Track operators expanding or reconfiguring layouts can contact us to update fencing during construction phases.

Frequently Asked Questions

How high should go kart fencing be?

Height varies. For spectator areas, 1.8 to 2.4 metres is standard. Lower fencing may be used in pit lanes or along walkways with low exposure.

Fencing prevents entry into spectator zones but is not designed to stop high-speed impacts without additional barriers like tyres or padding.

Yes. We install modular and removable fencing for seasonal or event-based tracks.

Gates are typically manual, but automation is available if required for larger sites or security zones.

Yes. All fencing is installed using galvanised or coated components to resist rust and wear.
