How to install temporary fencing

To ensure a safe and healthy environment both in and around your job site, temporary fencing must be properly and safely installed during the entire duration of the project.

Read our guide on how to safely and correctly install our Anticlimb temporary fence panels to secure your job site!

Step 1: Check Conditions

First and foremost, survey your site. Whether it's a construction site or an event, determine how you want the flow of pedestrians to look like. What areas do you want to block off from the public? From there, you can determine exactly where your fence should be placed.

Step 2: Lay out the base

After determining the area you want to secure, set the temporary fencing base — the feet — into position. Temporary fencing comes with high-visibility plastic foot that the fence panel easily slides into and spread the high-viz feet accordingly, putting one foot every fence length.

Step 3: Install and connect the panels

Now that you have your feet in place, slide the temporary fence panel into the holes of the plastic foot. The foot has multiple inserts, so you can erect fence panels along a sidewalk without them being a tripping hazard. Continue to set up fence panels where you’ve placed your plastic feet. The fence panel itself is light, weighing in at only 30 pounds, so it’s easy for one person to do on their own. 

Step 4: Install the caps

When your Anticlimb fence panels are in place, secure the fence further with the provided coupler. With a drill, this part of the setup takes literal seconds, as the clamp can be placed anywhere on the frame of the fence.

Step 5: Add fence accessories and/or signage

For many, this is an optional step, as you might not have additional fence accessories or privacy screening to complement your temporary fencing setup.

However, if you do have some of these fencing items like a wheel kit or extension panels, now is the time to add them.

Step 6: Disassemble your fence and store for later

The great things about our temporary fence panels is that they store well and efficiently.
