It is probably easy to be bamboozled by fence hire, particularly when you look at all the different types to choose from.From picket to hoarding, and anti-vandal fencing to crowd barriers,t he different types can be confusing.Because I work in event hire, I have picked up a few tricks with fence hire over the years, which can be handy to know when you are put in charge of a job.Take for example, an entrance to an event.
Fence Hire
You need some type of fencing to maintain an order and to handle the vast amounts of people who are going to attend this occasion.Crowd barriers are perfect for this, as they are light weight, but steadfast and clip together to create a solid barrier to guide people through to their destination.Of course, it is vital to work out how many units you require after you’ve worked out what type of fencing you require.Getting a tape measure, span out how big the area you are working on is, and then work out how much of this space you want the fencing to take up.
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.It is essential upon reserving your fencing that you ask your salesperson if clips and footings come as standard.These are parts of the fence hire - clips allow the units to hook together and footings act like ‘feet’ and keep the fence hire stood up.When receiving quotations, you will be priced per unit and also you wil be charged a haulage cost, which is a transport cost to get the equipment over to your site.Haulage prices can vary depending on the distance from your site to the 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.
Good luck!
