Custom Temporary Fencing & Pedestrian Barriers

Specify the panel construction and replacement unit

For temporary welded mesh, the wire grid and its frame attachment are separate fabrication details. For framed chain link, the fabric edges, retention and tensioned condition need their own description. Both require an identified frame section and wall thickness. “Heavy duty” does not tell a buyer what material is being supplied.

Published panel dimensions as a quotation starting point

The Heras M350 technical sheet publishes a 3500 × 2000 mm width-by-height panel with a 355 × 100 mm height-by-width mesh opening. These dimensions illustrate one industry configuration. They are quote references, not a FencingWise stock specification, a universal temporary-fence size or evidence that another base will fit.

A useful request gives overall frame dimensions and the installed module pitch separately. Connector spacing can change the occupied run length. Add the required frame and wire construction, feet and couplers to that request; our offer then identifies the supplied combination and accepted drawing dimensions.

Choose a finish for the complete service cycle

Temporary equipment is handled, stacked and returned between uses. Describe whether galvanising occurs on the input material or after the relevant fabrication, and how welds and cut areas are treated. Where a coloured finish is required, include the preparation and acceptance requirements rather than relying on a colour name to describe protection.

Consider contact points in the pack and repeated contact at clamps and feet. Separators and a suitable restraint arrangement can protect finished faces during transport; identifiable replacement parts help maintain a consistent assembly. Routine inspection should look for frame distortion, infill detachment, loose links and damaged support connections as well as coating condition.

Connect the material package to the support design

Bases, braces, ballast and anchors belong to the selected arrangement. Screening changes the exposed surface, and a gate changes the geometry and operation of the line. Give the material schedule the same layout reference as the project design, including ends, corners, access points and screened sections.

HSE’s temporary-works guidance explains why design assumptions must suit the actual ground and site conditions. We use the supplied design to define the material scope; a successful fit trial is not a wind-capacity test. Site planning is developed further in the construction-site and event application guides.

Compare acquisition cost with the cost of another deployment

A panel-only price omits the effect of feet, couplers, braces, access units and handling equipment. Frame and wire material, infill attachment, finish, custom interface work and separate pack types all affect the offer. Compare the same installed arrangement and identify whether spares are additional to installation quantities.

For rental buyers, the next deployment adds inspection, sorting and replacement-part work. An inexpensive panel can be costly to manage if it introduces another incompatible foot or clamp. Conversely, a new family may be useful when it solves an identified duty and can be stored separately. Evaluate the repair unit and replenishment route with the initial quotation, rather than assuming all future repairs use generic parts.

Trial the finished joint, then define the transport pack

A representative approval can include adjacent finished panels, their feet and a complete connector. Record seating, joint alignment and tool access against the drawing, together with the sample references. Include special barrier links or gate connections when they differ from the straight run. This exposes fit problems before a larger fleet becomes mixed.

Specify actual pack footprint and mass, separators, restraint and the unloading method for the offered arrangement. Keep feet and small parts in counted, labelled groups. On return, identify serviceable equipment separately from items awaiting assessment; the number of returned panels does not establish that their accessory kit is complete. Our stacking, transport and reuse guide covers the associated depot records.
