Temporary fencing — temp fencing, temp fence panels, site fencing — sold outright rather than hired. Panels are 2.1m high and 2.4m long in three mesh gauges, and everything that holds them up is on this page too: concrete bases, clamps, stays, gates and wheels.

Buy it as a package or by the part. A package gives you panels, bases and clamps counted together for a 50m to 600m run, so nothing arrives short. Individual temporary fence panels, bases and clamps are sold on their own if you are topping up an existing run.

Hot dipped galvanised, hand welded, in stock in Brisbane and delivered across Queensland and interstate on request.

Which mesh gauge?

Every panel here is the same size on the same 32mm galvanised pipe frame. The only thing that changes is the thickness of the mesh wire — and that is what you are actually choosing between when you compare prices.

Weight is the honest guide: 10kg, 14kg and 22kg for the same panel. A 22kg panel is a two-hand lift and it does not bend when a bobcat brushes it. A 10kg panel goes up fast and comes down faster.

How much temp fencing do you need?

Panels are 2400mm long, so the panel count is roughly your perimeter in metres divided by 2.4. Every package comes with a matching concrete base and clamp for each panel.

Run length Panels Concrete bases Clamps
50m 20 20 20
100m 41 41 41
200m 81 81 81
300m 121 121 121
400m 162 162 162
500m 202 202 202
600m 243 243 243

Every size above is available in 2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm. There are also 10-set starter packs with either concrete or empty bases, and a 550-set bulk pack for hire fleets and large builders.

Bases, clamps and stays — what actually holds it up

A temp fence panel is only as good as what it stands in. Three parts do that job, and the difference between them is where most orders go wrong.

  • Concrete filled base — 611 × 230 × 150mm, 26.25kg, safety orange, UV resistant. This is the standard base and the one in every package. Two panel legs share one base at each joint.
  • Empty base — same shell, no concrete. Cheaper to buy and far cheaper to freight, then filled on site. Worth it on big orders travelling a long way.
  • Clamps — hot dipped galvanised, 100mm centres, sized to the 32mm pipe. One per joint. They are what makes a run of panels behave as one fence instead of a row of separate ones.
  • Fencing stays — the diagonal brace that stops a run folding over in wind. Sold on their own, or as a combo with clamps and one, two or three concrete bases. Put them on corners, ends and any long straight run.

The stay is the part people skip and then wish they had not. If your fence is standing through a Queensland storm season, brace it.

Gates and vehicle access

You need a way in that is not “lift a panel out and lean it on the ute”.

  • 2.4m wheeled vehicle access gate — one 4mm panel on a wheel. Pedestrian and light vehicle access, swings open on the ground.
  • 4.8m wheeled vehicle access gate — two 4mm panels, two wheels. Truck, excavator and delivery width.
  • 4mm gate panel, 2.1m × 2.4m — the gate panel on its own.
  • Replacement wheels — sold separately, because the wheel is what wears out first.

Buy or hire?

We sell temporary fencing outright — we are a supplier, not a hire yard. Which is right for you comes down to how long the fence stands up.

Hire makes sense for a one-off job of a few weeks where you never want to see the panels again. Buying makes sense the moment fencing becomes a recurring cost: a builder running two or three sites a year, a council or school with a project list, a hire company building a fleet, or any site where the perimeter is up for six months or more. On most long jobs the purchase price lands somewhere near a few months of hire, and after that the panels are an asset you move to the next site.

Where temp fencing gets used

Construction and demolition site perimeters · civil and roadworks · events, markets and festivals · crowd and pedestrian control · school and council works · pool and excavation safety fencing · site storage compounds · car park and traffic management · hire fleets.

If you need a fixed perimeter instead of a temporary one, our garrison and tubular security fencing is the permanent version of the same job. For crowd lines and pedestrian barricades, see crowd control barriers.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm temporary fencing?

It is the thickness of the mesh wire, and it is the only real difference between the three. Every panel is the same 2100mm x 2400mm size on the same 32mm galvanised pipe frame. A 2.5mm panel weighs about 10kg and suits events, crowd lines and short jobs. A 3mm panel weighs about 14kg and is the usual choice for construction sites. A 4mm panel weighs about 22kg and is the one for long-running perimeters that take knocks. Heavier mesh holds its shape better through repeated moves; lighter mesh goes up and comes down faster.

How many temporary fence panels do I need for 100 metres?

41 panels, and our 100m package includes 41 concrete filled bases and 41 clamps to match. Panels are 2400mm long, so the panel count is roughly your perimeter in metres divided by 2.4. For reference: 50m is 20 panels, 200m is 81, 300m is 121, 400m is 162, 500m is 202 and 600m is 243. Corners and gates change the count, so send us your perimeter length if the run is not a simple straight line.

What size are your temporary fence panels?

2100mm high by 2400mm long. The frame is 32mm OD pipe with a 1.4mm wall, the anti-climb mesh weld is 150mm x 60mm, and the whole panel is hot dipped galvanised at an average of over 28 microns per square metre and hand welded. The only variable is the mesh gauge: 2.5mm, 3mm or 4mm.

Should I use concrete filled or empty bases?

The concrete filled base is the standard and it is what comes in every package: 611mm x 230mm x 150mm, 26.25kg, safety orange and UV resistant. The empty base is the same shell without the concrete, filled on site. It costs less to buy and far less to freight, which is worth doing on large orders travelling a long distance. Both are sized to the 32mm pipe.

What stops temporary fencing blowing over?

Two things. A clamp at every joint, which ties the panels into one continuous braced run rather than a row of separate panels. And fencing stays, the diagonal brace that props the run against wind load. Put stays on corners, at the ends of every run and along long straights. Stays are sold on their own or as a Fence Stay Combo with clamps and one, two or three concrete bases. Skipping the stays is the most common reason a temp fence ends up on its side.

How do I get vehicles onto a fenced site?

With a wheeled gate panel. The 2.4m wheeled vehicle access gate is a single 4mm panel on a wheel, which suits pedestrians and light vehicles. The 4.8m version is two panels and two wheels, wide enough for trucks and plant. A 4mm gate panel is also sold on its own, and replacement wheels are available separately since the wheel is usually the first part to wear out.

Should I hire or buy temporary fencing?

We sell temporary fencing outright rather than hiring it out, and which one suits you comes down to how long the fence stands up. Hire suits a one-off job of a few weeks where you never want to see the panels again. Buying suits anyone for whom fencing is a recurring cost: builders running several sites a year, councils and schools with a project list, hire companies building a fleet, or any perimeter that will be up for six months or more. Once the panels are yours you move them to the next job instead of paying again.
