What Is Temporary Fencing?
Temporary fencing, also called temp fencing, is a free-standing, portable barrier system designed for short-term use. Unlike permanent fences that require post-setting and concrete, temporary fence panels interlock and are supported by weighted bases, making them fast to deploy and easy to reconfigure as project conditions change.
Temp fencing is widely used across industries to meet OSHA safety requirements, municipal code compliance, and general site management needs. It creates a clear, visible boundary between hazardous areas and the public, keeps unauthorized personnel off active job sites, and provides essential crowd and traffic control for events and special projects.High quality fencing

Types of Temporary Fencing We Offer
The most common choice for construction sites and industrial applications. Heavy-gauge chain link panels provide strong perimeter control, visibility through the fence line, and proven durability in high-use commercial environments.
For sites where aesthetics, dust control, or privacy are a concern, we install privacy screens or windscreen fabric on chain link panels. This is popular for urban construction projects, renovation work on occupied commercial properties, and event applications.
Lightweight steel or plastic barricades for pedestrian crowd management at events, retail activations, and public gatherings.
Custom temporary enclosures for high-security areas, equipment staging zones, or hazardous material storage within a larger site.

what we do
Our Temporary Fencing Process

We make temporary fencing simple from the first call to final removal. Here is how it works:
We begin by reviewing your project requirements, site layout, and timeline. For large commercial projects, we conduct an on-site visit to evaluate access points, surface conditions, and any special requirements such as gate placement or privacy screen needs.
We confirm a rental term that fits your project schedule and coordinate a delivery and installation date. We work around your site's operational hours to minimize disruption.
Our team arrives on time with all necessary panels, bases, connectors, and hardware. We install the fencing quickly and systematically, ensuring the perimeter is secure, level, and compliant.
If your project scope changes or the fence line needs to be adjusted, we are available to reconfigure the installation. We provide ongoing support throughout the rental period.
When the project is complete, we schedule prompt removal and take all materials off-site, leaving your property clean and clear.
