Planning & practical advice

Temporary fence feet

Match the system to the ground. Fence feet hold the panels and form part of the overall boundary plan. Their selection depends on the fence system, ground conditions and planned layout.

Compare sockets and materials

Feet differ in material, shape, weight and socket arrangement. Check that panel tube ends fit the chosen feet. A similar-looking foot is not automatically interchangeable. For used equipment too, compatibility must be checked against product information and condition.

Allow for space at ground level

Feet take up space beside the mesh. This matters particularly near paths, gates and narrow access routes. Check for uneven ground and consider how people and vehicles use the area. Orientation and any additional measures depend on the system and its installation instructions.

Feet are part of the complete structure

One heavy foot is not a universal solution for every location. Connections, layout, coverings and any additional bracing work together. Have requirements established for the entire project. Check which feet are included in your ZaunRent quotation and whether special conditions need additional provision.

Enquiry checklist

Have the following information ready so we can agree on the scope and arrangements:

  • Compatible sockets
  • Ground with adequate support
  • Space beside paths
  • Complete system planning
