6 Tips for Renting a Concert Temporary Fence

Gearing up to host a concert? Rock on! While planning can be a challenge, ZTERS can help support you with concert temporary fencing (and porta potties if necessary). We’ll do the heavy lifting including setup and takedown so that you can focus on more important things.

A temporary fence rental for your concert helps ensure the safety and success of your event. Not only does it help prevent dangerous crowd surges, but it also helps control access, secure the perimeter, and direct guests in the right direction. 

Whether you’re planning a large outdoor festival or a small intimate gig, here are some essential tips to consider when renting a concert temporary fence.

1. Determine the Purpose of the Fence

Before renting a temporary concert fence, specify your intended purpose. Are you looking to control crowd movement, secure the perimeter, or create designated areas for different ticket holders? Understanding the purpose will help you choose the right type of event fence. We also invite you to ask for guidance from a ZTERS temporary fencing expert.

2. Choose the Right Type of Concert Temporary Fence

Temporary fences come in various styles, including chain-link fences and barricades. Chain-link fences are ideal for securing large perimeters, while barricades are perfect for controlling crowds near the stage given their shorter height.

3. Determine the Right Height and Length

The height and length of the fence are crucial factors. For concerts, it’s typically recommended to have a fence that’s at least 6 to 8 feet tall to prevent unauthorized access. Calculate the total length of fencing required based on the size of the venue and the areas you need to enclose. Additionally, consider if you’ll need things like wind/privacy screens or sandbags.

4. Schedule Installation and Removal

Timing is key when it comes to installing and removing concert temporary fencing. You’ll want to allow ample time for setup so that you’re not rushing close to showtime. You also don’t want to fence to sit for longer than it needs to. Coordinate with ZTERS to schedule installation well before the event starts and removal shortly after the concert wraps up.

5. Factor in Event Accessibility

Make sure your concert temporary fence setup includes accessible entry and exit points. These should be clearly marked and easy to navigate to comply with safety regulations and ensure the comfort of all your attendees.

6. Consider Your Budget

Finally, always consider your budget. Temporary fencing costs can vary widely depending on the type, size, and duration of the rental. ZTERS provides you with a transparent quote so you don’t have to worry about getting blindsided by hidden fees.
