As the temperature drops, ice forms, and the gloves come out, most outdoor construction and renovation projects come to a standstill. While it\u2019s true that most projects pause when cold weather conditions hinder progress, temporary fencing in winter is a must to maintain security around a site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, winter events are in full swing during the holiday season. Similar to outdoor concerts in the summer, outdoor events in the winter often require fencing to keep guests contained to certain areas and prevent theft during off hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So can temporary fencing be installed in winter? Absolutely. A temporary fence rental<\/a> is a year-round solution for securing a construction site, keeping event guests within boundaries, and preventing theft on any site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how installing temporary fencing in winter works, how to prepare for installation, and why it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Installing Temporary Fencing in Winter Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people are familiar with post-driven fences where fencing is installed directly into the ground with fence posts typically inserted in concrete. Of the different types of temporary fence rentals<\/a>, this sturdy fencing option is great for long-term construction projects, but it\u2019s not entirely feasible in the winter due to icy or snow-covered surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panel installation is a more winter-friendly fencing alternative. Fencing panels are weighted and hooked together, creating a less permanent but still reliable fencing system that doesn\u2019t require in-ground installation. It\u2019s quick to set up and can be moved if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For extra sturdiness (especially in high winds), you can order sandbags or concrete weights to anchor the fence securely in place. ZTERS also offers privacy and wind screens to prevent looky-loos from disturbing your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing for a Winter Fencing Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We always recommend booking your rental well in advance to ensure inventory is available. In some cases, a short-notice delivery is possible, but you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019ve taken the necessary steps to streamline installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Determine How Much Fencing You Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before securing your rental, it helps to calculate how much temporary fencing you need<\/a> so you aren\u2019t left with excess fencing or on the flipside, short on panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For events, consider how many people will be in attendance and what sorts of activities will be available onsite. It\u2019s always better to aim higher so that there\u2019s ample space for guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For construction sites, although there will likely not be personnel on-site during the winter months, you may wish to extend your rental as the project starts up again. Keep this in mind when estimating how much fencing you\u2019ll need to keep the site and your equipment secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Clear a Perimeter for Fencing and Delivery <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you know roughly where your fencing will go, establish the boundary by setting up cones or caution tape to mark where the fence will go. This may require getting creative if snow makes marking the ground difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that the temporary fencing withstands the winter weather, clear a few feet (at least four) of space for the bases to sit. Additionally, a delivery vehicle will need to be able to drive up to your site to unload the fencing. Make sure that there is an ample driveway to accommodate a large hauler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Add Weights and Screens to Your Rental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While optional, weights including sandbags or concrete weights can maximize the fencing\u2019s sturdiness, especially in the face of high winds. Likewise, wind screens can reduce wind\u2019s strength within the fencing. This can improve guests\u2019 experience at events and doubles as a layer of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Importance of Installing Temporary Fencing in Winter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Installing temporary fences in winter is not only possible, it\u2019s typically essential. In some cases, temporary fencing OSHA regulations<\/a> make it mandatory for construction sites. Temporary fencing helps keep construction sites secure and theft-free while workers hold out for milder weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During holiday season events, temporary fencing helps with crowd control and can make the overall event experience more enjoyable for attendees. Get a free quote for a winter temporary fencing installation by calling a ZTERS specialist!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
