Site Barrier Fencing

Learn more about site barrier fencing

Site barrier fencing is temporary perimeter fencing used to separate work areas, control entry points and keep people out of live construction zones. It gives clear visual separation and is quick to move and reconfigure as the job changes.

If you need more screening or weather protection, temporary hoarding may be a better fit. For short-term pedestrian management, crowd barriers are designed for a different job. Our team can help you work out which option suits the site.

Typical uses

• Marking out construction site boundaries and keeping people out of active work areas.

• Creating temporary fence lines for short-term works, refurbishments and maintenance jobs.

• Managing pedestrian routes, vehicle access points and gate openings on busy sites.

• Using barrier fencing where a site needs clear visual separation and controlled entry.

How to choose the right site barrier fencing

• Decide whether you need a temporary fence, barrier fencing or a more robust site security fencing setup for the level of control the job needs.

• Check the site layout first, including access points, uneven ground and whether the fence line has to work around plant equipment, deliveries or pedestrian routes.

• Look at panel compatibility, fixing method and the accessories needed to keep the system stable and practical to use.

• Consider mesh barrier fencing, welded wire temporary fencing or steel site fencing panels where strength, visibility and reuse matter on longer jobs.

• Choose fencing pins and other anchoring options that suit the substrate and the local wind exposure.

Before you order

• Measure the fence run, gate positions and any changes in level so you order the right number of panels and fittings.

• Check delivery timing, offloading needs and whether Click & Collect or branch pickup is the best fit for the job.

• Confirm the accessories you need, such as feet, pins, gates and fixings, so the system works as a complete barrier rather than loose parts.

• Review any site specific safety, access or permission requirements before you commit to a layout.

• Make sure the fencing you choose suits the intended use period and the conditions it will face on site.
