Temporary fencing hire
Hot-dip galvanised 2.4 m × 2.1 m mesh panels with concrete-filled bases and galvanised clamps. It’s the familiar anti-climb mesh fencing you see around building sites and events, hired for as long as your job needs it.
What’s in a temporary fence
A temporary fence line is made of three parts that work together:
| Panels | 2.4 m wide × 2.1 m high, hot-dip galvanised. 2.5 mm mesh wire with 150 × 60 mm anti-climb mesh on a 32 mm frame tube. About 10 kg each. Each panel covers 2.4 m of fence line. |
|---|---|
| Bases | Orange plastic shells filled with concrete, about 26 kg each. The panel uprights sit in the base, so the fence stands without digging. Neighbouring panels share a base where they meet. |
| Clamps | Galvanised clamps sized for the 32 mm frame tube, locking neighbouring panels together so the line acts as one continuous fence. |
| Gates & stays | Available on request. Ask when you request a quote. |
Because nothing is dug in, temporary fencing can go up on most ground surfaces and be moved or extended as your site changes.
A quick rule of thumb
Panels
Fence length in metres ÷ 2.4, rounded up. A 50 m run is about 21 panels.
Bases
For a straight run, roughly one more base than panels. A fully closed perimeter needs about one base per panel.
Clamps
At least one clamp per join between panels. Exposed or windy sites may need extra support; stays are available on request.
