Project Overview
Warner Brothers Studios in Leavesden is one of the UK’s leading film production facilities, hosting major global productions and requiring the highest levels of security, privacy, and site functionality. As part of an expansion and upgrade to plant store areas, Warner Brothers appointed TR Fencing & Landscaping Ltd to deliver a package of fencing works that combined security, durability, and aesthetic considerations.
The works included the installation of boundary wooden acoustic fencing, key clamp pedestrian barriers, and palisade fencing to ensure the studio’s operations remained both discreet and secure.
Scope of Works
TR Fencing & Landscaping Ltd was responsible for:
Acoustic Wooden Boundary Fencing
- Designed to minimise noise impact and provide visual screening.
- High-quality timber panels installed along sensitive boundary lines.
- Enhanced privacy for film production activities.
Key Clamp Pedestrian Barriers
- Installed around pedestrian zones to control access safely.
- Robust, low-maintenance steel framework suitable for high footfall.
- Ensured safe segregation between staff, visitors, and operational areas.
Palisade Fencing to Plant Stores
- Heavy-duty steel palisade fencing supplied and installed.
- Provided secure protection of valuable plant and equipment.
- Galvanised finish for long-term durability and resilience.
Challenges & Solutions
- Security Requirements: The site demanded high levels of protection while maintaining access and operational flexibility. TR Fencing & Landscaping Ltd deployed palisade fencing with anti-tamper fixings and a design proven to deter unauthorised access.
- Noise Control: Acoustic fencing was carefully designed and positioned to limit sound transfer to neighbouring areas, ensuring minimal disruption during filming and studio operations.
- Programme Coordination: Works were scheduled and phased around studio operations to avoid disruption to production schedules, with TR Fencing working closely with Warner Brothers’ site team.
Outcome
The £200K fencing package was delivered on time and to specification, meeting Warner Brothers’ high standards for safety, security, and discretion. The combination of acoustic boundary fencing, pedestrian barriers, and secure palisade fencing has significantly improved both the security and operational efficiency of the Leavesden plant store facilities.

Warner Brothers commended TR Fencing & Landscaping Ltd for their professional delivery, high-quality workmanship, and ability to adapt to the unique operational requirements of a working film studio.
