Is fencing required around construction sites?

When it comes to construction sites, safety should be a top priority. Construction workers, neighboring residents, and the general public can all be affected by the safety measures, or lack thereof, at the job site. Temporary fence panels are increasingly popular in the industry because they offer a practical solution for providing temporary fencing at construction sites. These panels act as secure barriers for your project.

With various perimeter barriers available, selecting the right one for your application is essential. Options such as concrete blocks, sandbags, chain-link fences, and other types of perimeter control are not always ideal. Ensuring that all your project safety requirements are met is the most cost-effective way to prevent inconveniences and provide the utmost security.

Benefits of installing fences around construction sites

  1. Construction site debris control: Undoubtedly, having debris all around your construction site should be avoided, since this can be a danger to construction workers, as well as the surrounding public. Staying in line with state regulations is essential.
  2. Better work environment for construction workers: Having correct management of the materials can help the overall construction process, saving on time and providing safe work areas.
  3. Restriction of access to the public: From privacy, to accident and crime prevention,  fences can be a great deterrent to outsiders, keeping your people and your assets safe.
  4. Easy access to suppliers: Temporary fencing can make for an easier supplying process, facilitating the handling of material for everyone involved.

Characteristics of a quality temporary fence

Temporary fence rental is a good option for short term projects or outdoor events. Installing a temporary fence shouldn’t be time consuming or require too much equipment. In general, barriers that consist of individual panels that can be easily transported, installed, and stored is recommended.

To limit access to the construction site, temporary fencing shouldn’t be flimsy either. Consider anti-climb, cut, and penetrate features when selecting perimeter fencing.
