Distinguish panel height from installed height
A common format has a panel height of about two metres. What matters is how the supplier defines the dimension and how the panel sits in its intended foot. Specify whether you mean the product dimension or a requirement for the completed installation. Do not rely on the product name alone.
Consider how the area is used
Selection depends on activities behind the fence and how people move nearby. A particular height does not automatically make a portable fence comprehensive protection against every form of entry. Openings, connections and access management remain as important as mesh height.

Plan height and coverings together
When privacy screening or advertising is added, surface area and installation must be considered together. Uneven terrain can also change the boundary's effectiveness. Describe local conditions with photos and enquire about a suitable design. This information page does not prescribe a universally required height.
Enquiry checklist
Have the following information ready so we can agree on the scope and arrangements:
- Purpose of the boundary
- Product dimensions or completed installation
- Terrain and transitions
- Planned coverings
Temporary fence height FAQ
Does a two-metre height automatically provide sufficient protection?
No. Suitability depends on the whole installation, access points and specific use. Height is only one feature of the system.
