Three Ways To Use Rented Fencing Around A Residential Construction Site

25 January 2023 by Devon Ramos

Companies that specialize in fencing rentals have many different types of fencing available that local organizations can use in a variety of ways. If you have a fencing need, you can browse the rental company's website, learn about what products it offers, and then place your order. If you're a contractor who is building a home, there are lots of ways that temporary fencing can come in handy during various phases of the construction process. Here are three ways that you'll likely want to use some fencing.

Around The Excavated Area

Once you've excavated the area that will eventually become the house's basement, you want to reduce the risk of a member of the public falling into this pit and sustaining an injury. In such an occurrence, you could potentially be held liable. Temporary fencing can form a strong barrier around the entire excavated site, and you can leave the fencing in place as long as you need. It's easy for your building crew to move parts of the fence out of the way at the start of the day, and then put them back in place when they wrap up their work at the end of the day.

Across The Driveway

As the driveway space of the home gets built, even if it's not paved yet, you might be concerned about people using it without permission. For example, a neighbor might decide to park their vehicle in the driveway rather than on the road. You likely don't want people parking their vehicles in the new home's driveway area, both over concerns of liability and simply for the fact that their vehicle may be in the way when your crew shows up in the morning. Temporary fencing at the end of the driveway, along the side of the road, will prevent unwanted vehicular access.

Next To The House

While chain link-style fencing can be appropriate in the above two examples, you may also wish to consider a solid type of temporary fencing to use in other applications. Solid temporary fencing is available in many different styles; often, it's available as chain link but with vinyl material stretched over the metal. This type of fencing works well to block wind, snow, and debris, which can make it useful to position next to the house during construction. For example, if your crew is framing the walls and there's bad weather in the forecast, you can rent this type of fencing to provide a protective barrier against the elements — thus making the working conditions more pleasant.
