What to know about fencing

Why most sites fence first

Temporary fencing is usually the first thing that goes up and the last thing to come down. It keeps unauthorized people and kids out of an active hazard, protects your tools and materials from theft, and signals a controlled work zone to the public. On many jobs it’s also a permit and insurance condition — worth confirming with your local building department before mobilization.

Panel vs. driven-post: picking the right fence

Free-standing panel fencing sits in weighted bases, installs fast, and moves easily as the site changes — ideal for shorter projects and hard surfaces like pavement. Driven-post (in-ground) fencing is more rigid and secure for longer builds and looser ground, but needs diggable soil and more setup time. Tell us the project length and surface and we’ll steer you to the right system.

Measuring your perimeter

To size a job, walk the boundary and estimate the total linear footage, then mark where you need gates — one wide enough for vehicle and equipment access, plus pedestrian points. A rough sketch with approximate lengths is enough to start; exact footage gets confirmed before anything is finalized.

Privacy screen, wind, and dust

Windscreen adds privacy, hides staging areas, and cuts blowing dust and debris — but it also turns your fence into a sail. In exposed or high-wind locations that means more bracing and heavier bases, which we plan for up front. Screen also doubles as a branding surface if you want your company name on the perimeter.

Common fence types to help you choose. Panel sizing and installation are confirmed on your quote.

What to include in your request

  • Measure approximate perimeter footage and gate locations.
  • Note surface conditions (pavement, dirt, gravel).
  • Decide on privacy screen, barricades, or pedestrian routing.
  • Share schedule and any permit requirements to confirm.

Fencing questions

What if I don’t know exact fence footage?

Give us your best estimate — walk the perimeter and add up the rough lengths — plus where you want gates. We help confirm the details before anything is finalized, so an approximate number is enough to get started.

Panel fencing or driven-post — which do I need?

Panel fencing installs fast, moves easily, and suits shorter projects and hard surfaces. Driven-post fencing is more secure and rigid for longer builds but needs diggable ground. Share your timeline and surface conditions and we’ll recommend the right one.

Can the fence handle high wind, especially with screen?

Yes, with the right setup. Privacy screen catches wind, so exposed sites need extra bracing and heavier bases. We account for wind load when we plan the layout so the fence stays standing.

Do you provide gates for vehicles and pedestrians?

Yes. Swing and rolling gates are available for equipment and vehicle access, along with pedestrian gates and barricades for walkways. Note where you need each and we’ll size the openings.

Can I add traffic control for a work zone?

Yes. Cones, signs, arrow boards, and message boards are available alongside fencing for work zones and roadwork. Tell us about the traffic situation and we’ll include the right equipment.
