Buy or Hire Construction Site Hoarding

Site hoarding in construction is essential for safety and security, providing a solid perimeter around the site to prevent unauthorised access and block visibility of valuable equipment during ongoing work.

Here at Blok ‘N’ Mesh, our range of site hoarding systems for construction sites includes a wide variety of options to suit various site requirements. We supply construction hoardings in 2m or 2.4m heights, in steel or PVC hoarding materials, and with in-ground or on-ground installation, plus accessories.

As site hoarding suppliers to the construction and allied industries for many years, we offer market-leading building site hoarding solutions for sale or hire. With much more than just building site hoarding panels available, you can find all the extras you might need to finish your site hoarding system here.

So, whether you’re looking for construction site hoarding hire or want to buy a customised hoarding system for reuse, browse our collection today!

Building Site Hoarding Bracing

Our site hoarding systems are available in two different categories of bracing:

In-Ground Site Hoarding for Construction

In-ground site hoarding requires some ground excavation to install an essential component of the hoarding system underground. In most cases, steel tubes are dug into the ground and filled with concrete before being fixed to the site hoarding panels.

On-Ground Site Hoarding for Construction

On-ground site hoarding requires no ground excavation. Instead, it uses weighted ballast that sits on top of the ground surface, which is fixed to the hoarding panels with steel tubes. As it isn’t anchored into the ground, this type of bracing often requires particularly heavy ballast for support, such as concrete kentledge blocks or water-filled ballast tanks.

As well as standard concrete, our technical team now offers an ultra-low carbon concrete mix (ULCC), which reduces the embodied carbon rating by 71% compared to the traditional concrete ingredients, while still complying with British Standards for structural use.

Wind Load Calculations for Safe Construction Hoarding Hire

Site-specific wind calculations are vital for any site using a hoarding system. Without adequate ballast for the location and environment, the solid structures can be susceptible to wind.

Unlike temporary fencing, which is predominantly air-permeable due to its mesh facing, wind loads can hit the solid hoarding panels and potentially push them over, as the air cannot pass through them. The panels must be correctly secured against local wind loads for safety.

A wind calculation, which is available from Blok ‘N’ Mesh, will assess the location to determine the recommended installation type, and if needed, the type and quantity of ballast required for on-ground installation to minimise the risk of hoardings falling or sliding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does builder’s hoarding for construction sites need to be braced?

Unlike permanent structures, which are grounded by their foundations, hoarding fences need to be braced either in-ground or on-ground to ensure they stand securely, as they are not air-permeable.

Otherwise, when hit by wind, they could fall over, hitting anyone or anything in the immediate vicinity.

Construction sites have a legal obligation to protect people from the hazards of construction activities in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, hence using temporary mesh fencing or site hoarding boards. However, failure to secure the hoarding would potentially cause harm, so it must be secured safely in place to comply with health and safety regulations.

We allow you to choose between in-ground site hoarding, which places steel and concrete structures in the ground to ensure they stand in windy conditions, and on-ground hoarding, which is faster to install and less permanent due to the lack of excavation required.

For help choosing which building site hoarding is best for you, contact our office today on 0870 950 5788, or fill out our contact form and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Is all construction site hoarding reusable?

As most hoarding for construction sites is made with sturdy galvanised steel or PVC, unless it sustains damage, most component parts will be reusable for later projects.

This allows for construction or housing development companies, for example, to reuse building site hoarding again and again, reducing construction waste as well as keeping everyone in the area safe.

There are also various hoarding fence accessories, including pedestrian doors and vehicle gates, that are either full steel, half mesh, or full mesh, depending on your needs.

Most products are also available with BS/RAL powder coating, which allows you to include your corporate branding on-site – an effective form of marketing and building brand awareness.

Plus, powder coat finishes can last for up to 20 years thanks to the protective layer formed by the paint, helping you to keep your sites looking good and saving you money in the long run.

Why choose a construction site hoarding fence over temporary fencing?

Much like temporary fencing, hoarding provides a temporary perimeter that shields a construction or building site for the safety of the general public and on-site workers.

However, while temporary fencing utilises mesh, a site hoarding system uses solid panels, making visibility of the construction site impossible for passing foot traffic – ideal for ensuring equipment is not visible, and therefore less likely to be damaged by trespassers or stolen from building sites.

Such sturdy protection is best for sites that need to maintain higher security or for exposed, windy sites.

While considered by some as like-for-like products, in-ground hoarding fences in particular are designed to stand for many months without sustaining damage and prioritise obscuring the view of construction or renovation sites, as well as keeping out intruders.

Another benefit of choosing a hoarding temporary fence for construction sites is the ability to personalise it with corporate colours. You can choose to customise your order with any BS/RAL powder coating colours, which not only makes it look more professional, but also extends the lifetime of your hoarding.
