It is probably easy to be bamboozled by fence hire, particularly when you look at all the different types to choose from. Looking at the the different types - heras fencing, hoarding, crowd barriers, pickets - to name a few, to the unitiated it looks like a foreign language! 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. Mark Attwood This is what crowd barriers are perfect for, light enough to move around, but solid enough to create a strong barrier to keep people moving to their destination. One thing you must do is figure out the quantity of units required but you should only do this after ascertaining your fencing needs. If you can measure the vicinity this will help you calculate your fencing requirements. 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. Then with basic mathematics, you can work out how many units of fence hire you need. When booking it is also important to ask if the fencing hire - whichever it is you choose - comes with clips and footings. Mark Attwood Clips hold the units together, and footings allow the units to remain static once placed on the floor - they are like the ‘feet’ of the fence hire. It is industry standard to quote per unit but please bear in miind that haulage charge will be extra and obviously necessary to get the fencing from storage to site. Obviously the cost of haulage will depend on how far your site is from storage depot. Hoarding is usually used for reconstruction work on buildings particularly supermarkets. Construction sites use heras fencing - which is also called anti-climb or anti-vandal fencing bacause the tight mesh and the height of the units make it almost impossible for anyone to climb over it. Fence hire doesn’t have to be complicated and if you just follow these simples guide lines your event or job will run like a dream. Mark Attwood Happy fencing!
