From outdoor concerts in the summer to bustling construction sites, temporary fencing is synonymous with organization and safety when it comes to hectic outdoor events. And temporary fencing solutions aren’t just for event planners and construction site managers – homeowners and pet parents are finding interesting new uses for temporary fencing, making their projects or homes safer, more secure and ultimately more successful.
Here, we’ll uncover five temporary fence ideas that you can apply to virtually any outdoor undertaking. Let’s dive in.
What is temporary fencing?
Temporary fencing is fairly self-explanatory – a removable, freestanding barrier used for security and safety purposes. On a construction site, temporary fences are often used to keep out pedestrians, secure expensive construction equipment, and keep workers safe from fall hazards. At outdoor events like festivals and concerts, you’ll often encounter temporary fences being used for crowd and queue control.
Temporary fencing can come in a variety of types, materials and sizes depending on need and geographic location. Some of the most common types of temporary fences include chain link, mesh, and barricades.
Use a temporary fence for dogs to secure your pets
If you are an owner of a rambunctious (and maybe sometimes naughty?) dog, you know how stressful it can be to let them roam around any outdoor green area without a fence.
Whether staying somewhere temporarily, training a new puppy, or unable to construct a multi-thousand dollar permanent fence in the near future, temporary fencing can be an ideal solution for making sure your pets stay safe and secure. The most common type of fence to rent for a dog enclosure is a chain link fence, but mesh fencing is another great option for something less permanent and easier on grass.
Renovation or new build? Rent a temporary construction fence
Whether you are a seasoned construction professional or a homeowner “DYI”-ing a renovation or other home improvement project, temporary fencing can be hugely beneficial to your project site. As mentioned earlier, temporary fences are designed to make busy, hazardous sites safer by keeping workers within designated areas to avoid trips, falls or other injuries. They also keep sites secure from potential theft or damage from the general public and passerby.
Even during a home renovation, your site is a safety and security risk – pedestrians could potentially be hurt on your property, or possibly steal expensive equipment. Renting a temporary fence from an experienced vendor helps to mitigate these risks at a low cost and low effort.
Rent temporary event fencing for a big outdoor event
Ever have dreams of hosting the next Coachella? How about throwing the most lavish outdoor wedding for a family member? Temporary fencing is critical to a safe and fun outdoor event like a music festival, carnival or wedding. Whether you run events for your local community or are planning something big for your dad’s 70th birthday, you’ll need to make sure your guests are safe and secure.
Temporary event fencing is often used to secure the parameter of an event, manage crowdflow and create designated queues, and define specific boundaries for things like food and beverage stations, VIP areas, and stage barriers for concerts. Because of the variety in temporary fence materials and designs, it’s easy to work with a vendor to plan the perfect combination of types that will suit your event needs.
Temporary pool fences keeps swimming safe
When you imagine an outdoor pool, you typically think of a permanent fence surrounding it. However, certain situations might call for a temporary pool fence. For instance, you might decide to rent a home either short or long term that has an unfenced pool, and you need to secure it for the length of your rental to keep it safe for your family. Homeowners also use temporary fencing when preparing for the installation of a permanent fence, which is often a state requirement.
Another circumstance that might make a temporary fence the better option for pool safety is living in a climate that gets cold at least part of the year, and you prefer to completely cover your pool. A removable, portable fence means you will only have to worry about preparing the pool for winter rather than an entire pool deck.
Pop-up ballgame? Install a temporary baseball fence
Ready to hit a home run on the next school PTA fundraiser or little league tournament? Temporary fencing is used across the country for baseball, football, and soccer games as well as other athletic events. It creates a barrier between players and spectators so that games can be safely played without incident, preventing interruption and upholding the game’s integrity.
Renting a temporary fence for an all-weekend tournament or series is ideal as it’s affordable, quick and easily installed by your rental vendor. Here are some factors to consider when choosing the right temporary fence for your sporting event:
- Accessibility – Make sure your fence has easy access points for medical staff to enter in case of emergency.
- Durability – If you live in a geographic location that’s prone to harsh weather conditions, consider a more durable material for your fence.
- Installation – Determine the layout of the fence you will need ahead of contacting a vendor or work with them to configure the layout.
