Temporary Fencing – FAQs

What are the key benefits of Temporary Fencing?

Temporary Fencing provides fast, flexible perimeter control for short-term use. It’s ideal for construction sites, events, festivals, and maintenance projects, helping to manage safety, security, and access in changing environments.

Is Temporary Fencing suitable for my site or application?

Yes. It’s a go-to solution for building sites, roadworks, school renovations, sports events, and any area needing a secure but removable barrier. It adapts easily to different surfaces and layouts.

What sizes and specifications are available for Temporary Fencing?

Panels are commonly 2.0m high x 3.5m wide and constructed from galvanised welded mesh with stabilising feet and couplers. Optional extras include privacy screens, anti-lift brackets, and vehicle/pedestrian access gates.

How secure is Temporary Fencing?

Temporary Fencing provides basic perimeter security and access control. While not a high-security solution, it can be enhanced with anti-climb panels, lockable gates, and ballast systems to increase stability and tamper resistance.

Does Temporary Fencing require regular maintenance?

Minimal. Periodic checks ensure panels remain upright, securely fixed, and undamaged. Components are weather-resistant and designed for repeated use over multiple sites.

Can Temporary Fencing be integrated with gates or automation systems?

Yes. Manual vehicle and pedestrian gates can be installed, though automation is generally not required due to the temporary nature of the setup.
