Measure correctly before ordering
Measure the usable area inside the frame and allow for the intended fixings. A panel's outer dimensions are not automatically the ordering size for sheeting. Agree on spacing, eyelet positions and edge reinforcement with the supplier to avoid ordering sheeting that cannot be fitted properly.
Solid sheeting or mesh fabric?
Choice depends on desired visibility, design and location. Open-weave fabric differs from solid sheeting. Ask for product specifications and suitable fixings. Wind loading remains relevant to installation; the material name alone does not establish how the fence must be secured.

Coordinate installation and later use
Fixing points should match the sheeting and the system's installation instructions. Keep connections and access points reachable. Inspection is needed if damage or tension changes occur. Custom sheeting is not automatically included in hire; agree on availability and design before ordering.
Enquiry checklist
Have the following information ready so we can agree on the scope and arrangements:
- Usable frame area
- Material and air permeability
- Eyelets and reinforced edges
- Fence system installation requirements
Temporary fence sheeting FAQ
Can I order using the fence's outer dimensions?
Not without checking. Fixing distances and usable internal space may require a different sheeting size. Confirm dimensions before ordering.
