Hoarding – FAQs

What are the key benefits of Hoarding fencing?

Hoarding provides solid site screening, security, and privacy for construction, refurbishment, or restricted access zones. It helps control visual impact, reduces dust and noise, and ensures safety by clearly separating public and operational areas.

Is Hoarding suitable for my site or application?

Yes. Hoarding is ideal for construction sites, schools during renovation, theme parks under development, and temporary high-security zones. It’s also used to control foot traffic and prevent unauthorised access.

What sizes and specifications are available for Hoarding?

Available in timber, steel, or composite materials, hoarding panels typically range from 1.8m to 2.4m high. Options include painted, branded, or anti-graffiti finishes. Systems can be freestanding or post-mounted, depending on site requirements.

How secure is Hoarding fencing?

Hoarding offers excellent temporary or semi-permanent boundary security. Its solid panels prevent visibility into the site and deter climbing or tampering, especially when combined with lockable access points.

Does Hoarding require regular maintenance?

Yes. Due to its exposure and temporary nature, hoarding should be inspected regularly for stability, damage, or vandalism—especially in high-traffic public areas.

Can Hoarding be integrated with gates or automation systems?

Yes. Gates can be built into hoarding systems for pedestrian or vehicle access. Automated gate options can also be integrated, depending on the duration and usage of the installation.
