Planning & practical advice

Buying temporary fencing

Compare purchase and running costs. When buying temporary fencing, consider the whole period of use as well as the panel price. Transport, storage space and spare parts help determine whether owning equipment suits your business.

When owning equipment makes sense

Buying equipment is mainly an option for repeated use with existing logistics. Check how many panels are actually needed at the same time. Stock left unused for long periods ties up space and capital. For varying site sizes, supplementary hire may make more sense than buying for the largest exceptional project.

Check what is included before comparing

Compare quotations for a functioning system. Feet, clamps, transport racks and access panels are not automatically included. Frame design and condition must also be comparable. Obtain written confirmation of dimensions and accessory suitability rather than deciding solely on a low price per panel.
