5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE TEMPORARY FENCING
Take a walk past any construction site, and you’re bound to see temporary fencing surrounding the property — and for good reason.
Many local building regulations require construction sites to have fencing in place to meet occupational health and safety standards. It also helps deter unauthorised access, keeps debris contained, and signals to passers-by that works are in progress.
While temporary fencing is widely used in construction, it’s also essential for traffic management, roadworks, pop-up events, and crowd control. In these cases, the question often isn’t whether to use temporary fencing, but whether it’s more beneficial to hire or purchase it. At 0508TempFence, our experience shows that hiring is a popular option for many reasons.
5 REASONS TO HIRE TEMPORARY FENCING
1. NO ASSET COST
Owning equipment can be costly. Hiring gives you access to the latest gear without tying up your capital or affecting cash flow. This allows you to trial equipment and ensure you’re using the best tools for the job, without the expense of purchasing them outright.
If a fence panel on your site gets damaged or stolen, 0508TempFence can quickly replace it, ensuring your site stays secure. This backup service provides peace of mind, keeping your project running smoothly without costly disruptions.
2. SIMPLE AND STRESS-FREE PROCESS
Hiring a temporary fence from 0508TempFence is straightforward. Choose from our range of fencing options, and we’ll deliver it to your site. Our team will handle installation and return to dismantle it once your project is complete.
This delivery and setup service is perfect for those without the vehicles or manpower to transport bulky panels. You can also be confident that your fencing is correctly installed and meets all regulations. Whether it’s for an event or a construction site, this hassle-free service takes one more task off your to-do list.
3. LESS UP-FRONT COST
Opting to hire rather than purchase temporary fencing significantly reduces your initial costs. Hiring gives you flexibility in deciding when and for how long you need the fencing, without the commitment of buying it. For short-term projects, renting is often much cheaper than purchasing. The reduced upfront costs are particularly beneficial for construction companies managing complex budgets. Plus, hiring expenses are fully tax-deductible.
4. NO STORAGE REQUIRED
To keep temporary fencing in good condition, it needs to be stored in a dry, protected space. The panels are often large and bulky, requiring a significant amount of storage space to cover a project’s perimeter. For those who own temporary fencing, this often means leasing or purchasing storage facilities.
By hiring, you eliminate the need for storage. 0508TempFence offers complimentary delivery, setup, and pick-up at the end of your project, saving you the time, cost, and hassle of arranging long-term storage.
5. ONGOING SERVICE
Temporary fencing plays a crucial role in maintaining occupational health and safety, so it’s important to keep it in top condition. While relatively low-maintenance, temporary fencing still requires occasional upkeep. When you hire from 0508TempFence, we cover fair wear and tear, ensuring your fencing is always in excellent shape without added effort on your part.
