Key Takeaways:
- •Modular panel system — quick install with no digging or permanent anchoring
- •Heights of 6ft and 8ft for full perimeter security
- •Weighted bases keep panels stable in Canadian wind conditions
- •Pricing: $45-$180/panel (sale) or rental available
Temporary fencing creates secure perimeters for festivals, construction sites, and outdoor events without permanent installation. Our modular panels connect quickly and stand securely with weighted bases — no digging, no concrete, no ground damage — making them ideal for parks, fields, and any venue where you cannot modify the ground.
Why Temporary Fencing
Unlike steel barricades which provide crowd guidance at waist-to-chest height, temporary fencing creates a full-height visual and physical barrier. At 6ft or 8ft tall, it prevents unauthorized entry, blocks sightlines into paid areas (critical for ticketed events), and creates definitive perimeter boundaries that leave no ambiguity about where the event space begins and ends.
Panel Specifications
| Feature | Standard 6ft | Heavy-Duty 8ft |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 6 feet | 8 feet |
| Panel width | 10ft or 12ft | 10ft or 12ft |
| Material | Galvanized chain link | Welded mesh |
| Wire gauge | 11-12 gauge | 9-10 gauge |
| Frame | 1.25" round tube | 1.5" round tube |
| Base | Rubber weighted or concrete block | Rubber weighted or concrete block |
Accessories and Add-Ons
Temporary fencing is highly customizable:
- •Privacy screens — mesh fabric that attaches to the fence to block visibility (60%, 80%, or 95% opacity)
- •Windscreens — reinforced mesh for high-wind locations, rated for sustained winds up to 60km/h
- •Pedestrian gates — hinged gate panels (4ft or 6ft wide) with latch and padlock
- •Vehicle gates — double-panel gates (12ft or 16ft wide) for delivery and emergency access
- •Sandbag weights — for additional stability on hard surfaces where rubber bases are insufficient
- •Barbed wire extensions — for construction sites requiring enhanced security (not typically used at public events)
Common Applications
- •Music festivals — creating ticketed perimeters, separating camping from performance areas
- •Construction sites — meeting municipal bylaws requiring site fencing
- •Sporting events — defining course boundaries for marathons, cycling events, and outdoor competitions
- •Film and television production — securing locations and controlling public access during shoots
- •Parking lot events — converting open lots into defined event spaces
Canadian Climate Considerations
Canada's diverse weather creates specific challenges for temporary fencing. Prairie wind requires heavier bases and windscreens. BC rain demands galvanized (not painted) frames to prevent rust. Winter events may need ground thaw blankets before base placement on frozen surfaces. Our team advises on the right configuration for your region and season.
