Tips for a safe temporary fence   

 

The benefit of temporary fence is, well, it's portable nature! It is easy to install and dismantle and can be easily picked up and moved to accommodate changes at your job or event site. But this temporary nature also means panels are not permanently affixed to the ground with bolts or concrete posts, and for this reason, there are specific safety considerations to keep in mind:

 

Secure installation - For fences running in a long straight line or where there is a risk of toppling from wind, fence should be stabilized by setting up in a zig-zag manner or by adding a perpendicular panel or t-post at regular intervals.  Temporary fence is often connected towards the top of the panels with wire or a steel u-clamp. If using a u-clamp, ensure the bolts are on the inside of your fence - this makes tampering by vandals far more difficult.

 

Screening - Fence screening is typically made of an opaque polyethylene knit, and is attached to the fence with cable ties or wire. While fence screening offers added site privacy, it can increase the likelihood of the fence toppling in high winds.   Always ensure your fence is standing securely before attaching screening.

 

Signage - Safety signage can be attached to the fence to ensure those entering your site are wearing the appropriate safety gear.

 

Regular inspection - Regardless of the type of fence you use, it is important to inspect your fence regularly to ensure it is stable and safe.
