How to Choose the Right Temporary Fencing

Perimeter Length & Height

  • Measure the total linear footage you need to enclose and the height required for security, privacy or crowd management
  • Build in extra sections for corners, returns and gates so your temporary fence rental doesn't fall short during installation
  • Walk the site and note corners, gates and grade changes so you can choose fence panels accurately

Purpose & Site Application

  • Clarify whether you're securing a construction site, screening a view, controlling pedestrian flow or restricting vehicle access
  • Determine your project purpose to choose your panel height and style, along with whether you need privacy windscreen, vehicle gates or pedestrian gates
  • Match the fence configuration to your goal so it performs the job without unnecessary cost or complexity

Site Conditions & Stability

  • Match the fence rental to the surface where it will be installed, such as pavement, gravel, mud or turf, and any space constraints onsite
  • Rough or windy conditions may require fence stabilizers or fence weights to keep panels secure
  • Consider how long the fence will be in place and what weather conditions it will face to choose the right base and anchoring

Do you need a permit to install temporary fencing?

You typically need a permit when installing a temporary fence, especially at construction sites or other public areas. This is to ensure that your fence complies with local restrictions and doesn't create any obstacles or hazards. Make sure to check your local Berkeley guidelines before assembling temporary fencing.

Does OSHA require fencing around construction sites?

In the U.S., OSHA requires fencing around construction sites that have open excavations, elevated platforms, high voltage equipment and other dangerous machinery that creates a safety hazard for workers or the public. In Canada, the laws dictating fencing around construction sites are at the provincial or municipal level, so make sure to check the local guidelines in Berkeley.

How can I mitigate wind risk in temporary fencing?

You can mitigate wind risk in temporary fencing by installing additional support to protect your equipment and employees from harsh winds. For example, you can use privacy windscreens that allow wind to pass through, specialized base weights to prevent fence tipping or fence stabilizer kits to secure your temporary fence.
