The Reason

Why Choose Hirelink for Temporary Fencing Hire in the Midlands?

Hirelink operates from Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield, Aldridge, and near Birmingham Airport. You get temporary fencing hire from a local team that can deliver quickly to construction sites, event venues, and demolition projects across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.

The HSE’s HSG-151 guidance on protecting the public requires that temporary fencing around construction sites and works areas is at least 2 metres high, difficult to climb, and constructed so that the mesh prevents children getting hands and feet through to gain a foothold. Hiras fencing panels comply with these requirements. Using compliant fencing is a legal obligation on most public-facing construction jobs — not an option.

Each panel is manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel with an anti-climb mesh infill. The 38.1mm outer tube and close-spaced mesh prevent anyone scaling the fence, and the galvanised finish resists rust and corrosion in all-weather outdoor conditions across long hire periods.

Heras fencing is freestanding — it stands on weighted rubber feet and does not require any ground penetration, drilling, or fixing. This makes it practical on tarmac, concrete, grass, and any other surface without causing damage. The rubber feet also help absorb vibration and resist displacement in exposed or windy conditions.

Rubber feet, coupler clips, backstay stabilisers, and pedestrian gates are all available alongside panel hire. This means you can configure a complete, secure perimeter with controlled access points from a single supplier.

Temporary fencing is hired on a weekly basis with a one-week minimum. Extend the hire week by week as your project continues. If your requirements change mid-hire — adding more panels or adjusting the layout — call the team to discuss.

The Return

Temporary Security Fencing Hire — What You Get

Heras fencing is the standard temporary security fencing system used on UK construction sites, roadworks, demolition projects, and public events. A Heras panel is a rectangular galvanised steel mesh frame, 3.5 metres wide and 2 metres high, that stands in a rubber block foot at each end. Panels connect to each other through steel coupler clips that clamp the vertical frame members of adjacent panels together, building a continuous run of fencing that follows any layout — straight lines, right angles, gradual curves, and irregular boundaries.

The mesh infill is designed to allow wind to pass through the panels rather than creating a solid sail that catches the wind, which keeps the fencing stable in exposed locations without requiring additional ballasting in most conditions. For sites in high-wind locations or on exposed elevated ground, backstay stabilisers or ballast blocks can be added behind the feet. The anti-climb mesh spacing, combined with the 2-metre panel height, meets the HSE’s HSG-151 requirement that temporary site fencing should prevent climbing and unauthorised access.

The galvanised finish on the frame and mesh is applied to resist corrosion over repeated hire cycles and extended outdoor use. Galvanised steel does not rust under normal site conditions and does not require treatment or maintenance during the hire period.

Setting up a run of Heras fencing requires no tools and no specialist knowledge. Two people working together can erect a significant run quickly. Place the rubber feet at intervals across the run, stand the panels in the feet, and clip adjacent panels together with the couplers. The system comes down just as quickly at the end of the hire.

Construction companies, groundworkers, main contractors, demolition teams, event organisers, local authorities, utilities companies, and housebuilders all regularly hire temporary fencing. Common applications include securing the perimeter of construction sites during active works and when unattended, protecting the public from demolition work and open excavations, creating safe pedestrian routes around roadworks and street works, marking out event areas and access control points at festivals and outdoor events, protecting vacant land and buildings against unauthorised entry, and securing hazardous areas where the public or vehicles must be kept at a safe distance.

Pedestrian gate panels provide a controlled access point in the fencing run for foot traffic — site workers, deliveries, and authorised visitors. Vehicle gates are available for wider access openings. Both gate types use the same frame system and coupler clips as the standard panels, keeping the perimeter consistent and the gate secure.

The Difference

Temporary Fencing vs Site Hoarding vs Crowd Control Barriers

These are three different products for three different situations, and choosing the right one matters.

Temporary Heras fencing

The standard choice for construction site perimeters, demolition boundaries, and event areas where a 2-metre secure, anti-climb boundary is required. Freestanding, quick to install, and HSG-151 compliant for public-facing sites. The right product when you need a continuous secure perimeter.

Solid steel hoarding

Used where privacy, dust containment, or a solid visual barrier is needed in addition to security — typically on urban demolition jobs, high-profile refurbishments, or sites adjacent to public footpaths where debris or visual disturbance must be controlled. A heavier, more permanent-looking solution than mesh fencing.

Crowd control barriers

A heavy steel interlocking barrier designed for pedestrian crowd management at events and in public spaces. Built to BS 7818 for crowd loading — not for construction site perimeter security. Hirelink stocks crowd control barriers separately.

The Process

How to Hire Temporary Security Fencing from Hirelink

Calculate Your Panel Count

Measure the perimeter you need to fence and divide by 3.5 to get the number of panels. Add panels for gate openings. Call the team if you want help working out quantities for your specific site layout.

Book Panels and Accessories

Reserve your panels, rubber feet, couplers, and any gates you need. Confirm your delivery date, site address, and any vehicle access requirements for the delivery.

Install and Inspect

Place feet at the start and end of each panel position, stand panels into the feet, and clip adjacent panels together. Check stability and adjust if panels are on uneven ground. Add backstays on corners and exposed sections if the site is in an open or windy location.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Temporary Fencing Hire

Heras fencing is a modular galvanised steel mesh fencing system used to create a temporary secure perimeter. It is 3.5 metres wide and 2 metres high per panel, anti-climb, and freestanding. It is the standard temporary fencing solution on UK construction sites because it meets the HSE’s HSG-151 requirements for protecting the public, installs without ground penetration, and can be quickly erected, reconfigured, and removed as the project develops.

Measure the full perimeter of the area you want to fence and divide by 3.5. This gives you the base panel count. Add panels for any gate openings and a couple of spares for corners where the panel run adjusts. Call the team if you want to talk through your site layout.

Yes. Panels are freestanding but require rubber feet at the base of each panel and coupler clips to connect adjacent panels. Without feet, the panels will not stand. Without couplers, the run will not stay connected. For sites in exposed or windy locations, backstay stabilisers are recommended on corners and longer exposed runs. Confirm what accessories you need when you book.

Yes. Because the system is freestanding and stands on rubber feet rather than going into the ground, it can be installed on any firm surface including tarmac, concrete, hard standing, and grass without causing damage. On softer ground, ensure the feet are stable and level.

The minimum hire period is one week. Most short construction jobs and events are covered by one or two weeks. For longer projects, the hire rolls on a weekly basis.

Yes. Pedestrian gate panels and vehicle gate panels are available alongside the standard panel hire. A pedestrian gate gives a controlled, closable access point for site workers and visitors. A vehicle gate provides a wider opening for plant and deliveries. Both use the same frame dimensions and coupler system as the standard panels.
