Temporary Fence
Overview
Temporary fence is a portable fencing system designed for temporary perimeter control, site separation, access management, and safety protection. Unlike permanent fencing, temporary fence panels can be installed, removed, transported, and reused without permanent foundations, making them suitable for construction sites, public events, roadworks, industrial areas, and other short-term applications.
QB METAL supplies several types of temporary fencing systems, including Australia Temporary Fence, Canada Temporary Fence, Crowd Control Barrier, and Temporary Chain Link Fence. Different systems are designed with welded wire mesh, chain link mesh, or tubular steel frames to meet different requirements for security, mobility, visibility, and installation conditions.
Panel dimensions, wire diameter, mesh size, frame tube specifications, bases, clamps, braces, surface treatment, and colors can be customized according to project requirements. Common surface treatments include hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating, providing reliable corrosion resistance for repeated outdoor use.
FAQ
Different temporary fencing systems vary in structure, weight, mobility, and security level. Welded mesh temporary fences are commonly used for construction sites and general perimeter control, while temporary chain link fencing is suitable for larger areas requiring flexible installation. Crowd control barriers are mainly used for pedestrian guidance, event management, and public-area separation. The appropriate system should be selected according to the site conditions, installation period, required security level, and frequency of reuse.
There is no fixed number of times a temporary fence can be reused. Its service life depends on the quality of the steel, welding, surface treatment, handling methods, storage conditions, and installation environment. Well-manufactured fencing with a stable frame and reliable corrosion protection can normally be reused across multiple projects when handled and maintained properly.
Pre-galvanized steel is coated with zinc before the fence panels are welded or formed. Hot-dip galvanized fencing is galvanized after fabrication, allowing the welded joints, cut edges, and frame surfaces to receive more complete zinc coverage. For long-term outdoor use or more corrosive environments, hot-dip galvanizing after fabrication generally provides better overall corrosion protection.
