Types of Temporary Fencing

Temporary fence panels come in standard duty (10kg per panel) and heavy duty (22kg per panel), typically paired with weighted plastic bases and steel feet for stability.

Uses of Temporary Fencing

Temporary fencing is widely used for construction site perimeters, event crowd management, hazard isolation, road works, and public safety barriers. It provides a fast, relocatable boundary without the permanence of fixed fencing.

Hiring Temporary Fencing

Hiring is a popular choice for short-term or one-off projects. The rental company handles delivery, installation, and collection, reducing the logistical burden on your team.

Pros of Hiring

Lower upfront cost - ideal for projects with limited capital

No storage required once the project is complete

Maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the hire company

Flexible durations - easily extend the hire period if your project runs over

Cons of Hiring

Ongoing rental fees can exceed purchase cost on long-term projects

You are dependent on the hire company's availability and service quality

No ownership of the asset at the end of the hire period

Potential for additional charges if panels are damaged, lost, or stolen

Buying Temporary Fencing

Purchasing temporary fencing gives you full control over the asset and can be more cost-effective for businesses with recurring fencing needs across multiple projects.

Pros of Buying

Full ownership - reuse across multiple projects with no additional fees

More cost-effective over the long term for frequent users

No terms and conditions imposed by a rental company

Complete control over how, when, and where the fencing is used

Cons of Buying

Higher upfront investment compared to hiring

Storage space required when fencing is not in use

Maintenance and repairs are your responsibility

Less flexibility if your fencing requirements change between projects
