How much is temporary fencing?

Also known as Harris fencing and Heras temporary fencing, temporary fence panels are essential for the construction industry day-to-day.

But if you need to replace your existing stock or buy new for the first time, you might be wondering how much that will cost.

The expert manufacturers at Blok ‘N’ Mesh reveal all in this handy guide – so read on to find out more!

What can you expect to pay for temporary fence panels and fencing sets?

While it may be essential that you have been tasked with getting a quote, finding out ‘how much is temporary fencing’ can be harder than you expected.

This is because it is based on a series of factors, all of which will impact the price you will pay. These factors include:

1. What you need

Within temporary fencing, contractors will generally purchase temporary fencing panels and the coordinating accessories needed or temporary fence panel sets which include one panel and generally two of each needed accessory.

This allows businesses to buy either the individual items they need – to replace old or lost stock, for example – or buy whole sets to expand their current stock of Harris fencing.

For the most part, ordering temporary fencing sets can be a better investment if you need to restock but can be more expensive as they already contain accessories like recycled fence feet and fence couplers.

2. How many you need

Just as what you are ordering could change the price, how many temporary fencing panels or sets you order will definitely change the price.

For this reason, if you are looking to purchase a larger number of panels or accessories you should expect a larger final quote.

3. If you want to hire or buy

Another factor that might change the price is if you intend to buy or hire your Harris fencing.

While you might immediately consider buying temporary fence panels as your only option, hiring can have many benefits that might work best for your company.

Pros and cons of buying fencing

Once delivered, you’ll have a complete stock of fence panels and coordinating accessories on hand whenever you need them. This is ideal if you want to be able to respond to more last-minute jobs.	You will need a weatherproof storage facility large enough to house all of the stock you need. This may be even larger if you intend to have all different types of temporary fencing, including round-top and square-top panels, plus all of the accessories you need.
You may not need to order temp fencing again for a few years once purchased.	You may need to order more if a larger job comes in.
You won’t need to organise deliveries, returns, or alter leases for hired fencing as you will own it outright.	It may be more expensive in the short-term and will require maintenance in-house.

Pros and cons of hiring fencing

You won’t need somewhere long-term to store your safety panels and accessories – you can arrange for them to be collected and returned at the end of your project.	Someone will need to be responsible for managing the ordering, deliveries, returns, and leases.
Your Heras fence panels can be delivered in either morning or afternoon delivery slots – so staff know exactly when they can start at a new location.	Although dispatch is fast, you will need to ensure you have calculated what you need carefully to be sure you will have enough.
You will always have exactly as much of the right type of fencing or accessories as you need. And it will always be in good condition because we take care of the maintenance for you.
