Temporary Construction Fencing for Events & Jobsites — East of the Mississippi
If you’re searching for temporary construction fencing, you’ve seen our work in action. On New Year’s Day 2025, the Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia Mummers Parade filled Broad Street with music and color—while behind the scenes, our portable fence panels, gates, windscreen, and barricades kept people and equipment safe. We deliver the same speed and reliability year-round for jobsite security and special events across every major market east of the Mississippi.

Panels & Post-Driven Chain-Link: The Right Solution for Each Job
We provide both portable fence panels and post-driven chain-link—two proven approaches that cover everything from single-day events to long-duration builds:
- Portable fence panels (ballasted stands): Fast to deploy, easy to reconfigure, and ideal when access points or layouts change on tight timelines. Best fit for parades, festivals, concerts, film sets, and short-term staging.
- Post-driven chain-link (set in the ground): Higher rigidity and long-term durability, excellent for extended construction projects that need a secure perimeter for weeks or months. Best fit for ground-up builds, infrastructure projects, and active jobsites.
Both options support gates (swing/rolling), windscreen/privacy mesh (dust and debris control, visual screening), and barricades (bike-rack style) for pedestrian channeling. And when you need scale, we can surge to tens of thousands of linear feet across multiple markets on short notice.

FAQs
What’s the difference between barricades and portable fence panels?
Barricades (bike-rack style) guide crowds in short runs; portable fence panels create full perimeters with gates and windscreen for higher security.
How tall are temporary fence panels?
The most common heights are 6 ft and 8 ft. We’ll recommend the best height for sightlines, security, and code requirements.
Which should I use—panels or post-driven chain-link?
Use panels for tight timelines and reconfigurable layouts (parades, festivals, short-term staging). Choose post-driven chain-link for long-duration construction that needs a rigid, anchored perimeter.
How fast can you install?
Very fast. We routinely meet aggressive windows for high-profile events and bring that same urgency to active construction schedules.
