About Temporary Fencing

Temporary Fencing was first introduced to the market in the 1960s as a cost-effective and simple solution to create a temporary barrier around construction sites for safety and to prevent unauthorized access from people. Although, temporary fencing was a staple in the construction sector, recently other industries have adopted it due to its effectiveness.

Industry-standard temporary fencing is usually 3.5m wide and 2m tall. This fencing material is a frame that is constructed from a bent steel tube, covered with steel wire mesh, and welded together. However, some temporary fencing panels also have reinforced steel corner gussets for extra strength. These frames may also comprise 4 separate tubes welded together to create a rectangular temporary fencing frame.

Temporary Fencing Panels: The next step involves acquiring the required number of temporary fencing panels based on your site’s dimensions and needs. These panels are usually made of materials like chain-link, steel, or plastic.

Base or Support System: Depending on the terrain, we may decide to add bases, weights, or supports to stabilize the fencing. The common options available include concrete blocks, sandbags, or stabilizing feet.
