It is probably easy to be bamboozled by fence hire, particularly when you look at all the different types to choose from. There are so many different types – from heras fencing to crowd barriers and from hoarding to picket the whole array can be overwhelming. My experience in fence hire comes from years of working in the events hire industry, so I like to think that I know my way around! Let’s look at organising the entrance to a booked out gig for example. The sheer amount of people descending on to the site means that you will need sturdy equipement to keep everyone safe and heading in the right direction. Heras Fence Hire Crowd barriers are perfect for this, as they are light weight, but steadfast and clip together to create a solid barrier to guide people through to their destination. But the most important thing to consider once you’ve decided what type of fencing you require is how many units you need. Getting a tape measure, span out how big the area you are working on is, and then work out how much of this space you want the fencing to take up. Then you need to look at the length of the particular barrier you have decided on – so if we take the example of crowd barriers, I know they are 2.5 metres long. You can then find out how many units you need for that particular job. When booking it is also important to ask if the fencing hire – whichever it is you choose – comes with clips and footings. Event Fencing Hire These are parts of the fence hire – clips allow the units to hook together and footings act like ‘feet’ and keep the fence hire stood up. Quotations will come with the cost per unit, but also the haulage charge – this is just a standard transport cost to get your order from the depot to your site. This price can vary depending on how far the depot is to you. Other uses for fencing include reconstruction work – hoarding is used a lot on renovations for supermarkets for example. Anti-vandal fencing, which is also known as anticlimb fencing or Heras fencing, is usually used on construction sites – it is perfect because of the tight mesh of the fencing, it is almost impossible to climb especially as it is 3 metres tall! So don’t be confused by fence hire, it is quite easy – just work out the specifics of your particular job and speak to a fence hire company who will give you some good advice on hire.
