5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE TEMPORARY FENCING

Walk past any construction site and you’ll notice temporary fencing around the property – and there’s good reason for that.

Most local building regulations require sites to have fencing to maintain occupational health and safety standards. It’s also a great way to discourage unauthorised visits to the site, keep debris tidy and organised, and inform passers-by that works are underway.

While the construction industry is one of the most frequent users of temporary fencing, these products are also used for traffic management, roadworks, at pop-up events or for other crowd control purposes. For many of these situations, the decision is not whether to get a temporary fence or not, but whether it’s better to hire or purchase the fence. At 1300TempFence, our experience hiring temporary fences has shown us that hiring fencing is a popular option for many reasons.

5 REASONS TO HIRE TEMPORARY FENCING

1. NO ASSET COST

Owning equipment is expensive. Hiring provides industries with access to the latest equipment and technology, without tying up capital investment and impacting cash flow. This gives you the opportunity to trial new equipment and ensure you’re always using the right equipment for your job, without the expense of purchasing it yourself.

If fence on your site is damaged or stolen 1300Tempfence can replace the missing/damaged panels at short notice, re-securing your site quickly. This back-up service gives you the peace of mind that you can keep your temporary fence in action, without any disruptions to your business or expensive asset costs.

2. SIMPLE AND STRESS-FREE PROCESS

Hiring a temporary fence from 1300TempFence couldn’t be easier. Simply take your pick from our range of temporary fencing options and have it delivered to your site. Our team will then install the fence in the location of your choosing and return to pack it up when you’re finished too.

The delivery and set-up options are a great choice for people that don’t have a vehicle or the manpower to transport the bulky and heavy panels on their own. You’ll also know your temporary fence has been set up correctly and complies with any relevant regulations. Whether you’re using the fence for an event or on a building site, this service means you’ll have one less thing on your to-do list.

3. LESS UP-FRONT COST

Choosing to hire temporary fencing rather than buy means you’ll have fewer upfront costs. Hiring gives you the freedom to choose when you want to use a temporary fence and for how long, without having to buy it outright. For short-term projects, hiring temporary fencing is usually far cheaper than having to pay off the full value of the product. The lower upfront costs are a great benefit for construction companies or other large projects managing complex financial schedules or long-term budgets. Hiring is also 100% tax deductible.

4. NO STORAGE REQUIRED

To maintain temporary fencing in good condition, it’s important to keep it stored in a dry and protected place. Temporary fencing is often large and bulky, with a large number of panels usually required to cover the entire perimeter or required area of a project. The size, volume and maintenance requirements of these panels means an industrial shed or other facility is often needed for storage. For anyone that owns temporary fencing, this may require an ongoing lease or an outright purchase of a facility.

The beauty of hiring temporary fences is that there is no storage required. 1300TempFence will provide complementary delivery, set up and pick up at the end of the project. This option eliminates the need for storage when the fences aren’t in use and saves the time, cost, and hassle of finding an adequate long-term storage solution.

5. ONGOING SERVICE

With temporary fencing used for plenty of occupational and health and safety purposes, it’s important to keep your panels in tip top condition. While temporary fencing is relatively simple to look after, there are some minor ongoing maintenance requirements. When hiring temporary fences, fair wear and tear damage is managed by 1300TempFence. This not only gives you peace of mind that their temporary fence is in perfect condition, but also eliminates the time associated with maintenance.
