Mel and Korey were great to deal with. Intially engaged them to do the front and back temp fencing and didn't not realise part of the side fence also need to be done. They have installed the additional side fencing without a fuss. Highly recommended👍

Top Temporary Fencing related questions

There are two main reasons to use temporary fencing around a construction site: to keep the project and workers safe and to prevent outsiders from getting hurt. A temporary security fence stops passers-by from accidentally wandering in and getting injured by debris or construction equipment. Also, the fence prevents interruptions and trespassing. Once you’re done using the temporary fencing on your construction site, consider hiring local after builders cleaning services through our platform.

First, you'll need to check the conditions on the site. Assess the ground, the immediate area, and the weather. Next, get the tools and materials for your temporary security fencing. Then, start installing the bases and panels, then connect the panels using clamps. Anchor your fence using temporary fencing stays. You may also want to wrap the panels with mesh or cloth rolls for better privacy and security. 

There are several materials and fencing types that you can use as temporary fencing. These include a typical picket fence, bike rack barricade, chain link fence, and aluminium mojo barricades. Temporary picket fences are dog proof and are great for keeping intruders out of the area. Bike rack and mojo barricades are great for crowd control - especially if you need help managing a large event. Lastly, chain link fences are usually used at carnivals or construction sites. 

Construction sites, events (such as marathons and concerts), and even carnivals require temporary fencing. Each kind of project calls for a different sort of temporary fencing, so it’s best to consult a local specialist about what materials will best fit your needs. Temporary garden fencing may differ from what a commercial construction site will need. A construction fence may not be the best for the spectators and participants in your sporting event.

This depends! You can request the disassembly of your temporary fencing in your task post and include this in your budget. Or if you don’t have an exact date on which you’ll no longer require a temporary fence, you can book a Tasker later on. Temporary fencing isn’t the only chore a Tasker can do for you - our platform also helps you find local construction workers and affordable demolition experts. 

What do temporary fencing services include?

When you request temporary security fencing services through our platform, you may expect a Tasker who can safely install a temporary fence that best fits your needs. In general, here’s what you can expect a temporary fencing specialist to do once they arrive at your location: 

Assess conditions before installation

The Tasker starts by checking the weather and ground conditions on the site. The ground should be level, and there should be no danger of rain and slippery slopes. The immediate area should also be clear: no pedestrians, no intrusions, no passing traffic. 

Bring the necessary tools and materials

Once the fencing specialist has declared the area ready for installation, they can bring in the necessary tools and materials. These include the fencing system (panels or pickets), the fence base, brackets, clamps, stays, nuts, bolts, a shifting spanner, and a cloth or material to protect your fence from dirt and debris.  

Installing the first temporary fencing base and panel

Next, the Tasker sets the first fencing base into position. Then, they can place one of the posts of the first panel into one of the holes of the base. After this, they may connect a second fencing base to the other end of this first panel. The goal should be to support the first panel between these two fencing bases. 

Connecting the panels

After the Tasker gets the first few bases and panels down, it's just a matter of properly connecting the rest of the fencing system. Use temporary fencing clamps to hold the first two panels together and secure them with a nut and bolt-thread side facing inwards to avoid possible injuries. They should also check for sturdiness and make sure the nut is nice and tight.  

Once the Tasker has put up the first two panels, it's just a matter of putting down the next temporary fencing legs and panels and connecting them.  

Securing your temporary fencing

Next, the Tasker installs safety stays to prevent your temporary security fencing from falling over. These stays go on the back of each panel and are attached using brackets. In addition to stays, the fencing specialist may also recommend using concrete blocks or sandbags to keep the fence sturdy.  

Finally, the fencing specialist covers your fence using banner mesh, shade cloth rolls, or other types of fencing wrap. Banners increase security and privacy; these can even be used to advertise your business

Scarborough WA, Australia

Hi. My neighbor needs to take our communal fence down to install a retaining wall. I've spent time installing a few simple wires and lines of string on my side of the fence, for jasmine to grow up the fence for a bit of a 'vertical garden'. It's quite light on/not fully grown. I'm not in town, so I need someone to meet my elderly uncle at my home, and cut the wires/string and lay the plants down on the ground. Then, once the fence is put back up a few days later, I need you to go back to my house and fix the wire/string back up to the fence (or attach new wire/string). So this fee needs to cover two visits. The goal is not to kill the garden/to ensure the plants can be reinstalled on the fence (after the fence is put back up - and it will be reinstalled at a slightly higher level, due to the retaining wall that will go underneath). Thanks so much.

Temporary fix for fence

$200

New Town TAS, Australia

4th Jan 2025

Our dog injured herself on our back fence (made of colourbond or similar?) a couple of days ago. We think there is a sharp piece of colourbond there somewhere, but I can't get close enough to see as there are some bushes fairly close and spider webs on the fence / in the bushes (and I have an irrational fear of spiders). I'm hoping to find someone today who could put in a temporary fix of some kind (even just putting some lumps of wood in front of wherever the sharp part is?) so that our dog doesn't injure herself again.

Carina Heights QLD, Australia

Looking for a handyman. needing 4 star picket taken out of the ground and about five Star Pickets put in to the ground in a different, these are 2.4m. My friend and I have already put in nearly all of the star pickets and brackets on top (to cat proof mums yard) Some of the star pickets and brackets need wire rope to be fed through the holes with clamp/ grips and turn buckets to keep the wire rope taught. Over the star pickets and brackets needs chicken wire with c clips or tie wire. There is also a small section where some bolts need to be put in to brick work. In addition to this I need the electric wire fence topper which runs along the back of a colour bond fence (100m) it is designed for dogs and cats to not escape and is very straight forward to install. It is powered by AA batteries. This job is suited to 2 people and someone who has done temporary fencing. The first section is done so will be easy to copy and follow for the rest. I have all of the material and a ladder as well as a manual star picket driver but you will need all of the carpentry tools. I have the material but you will need the tools. I need this to be completed by Wednesday the 7th of August

Amazing!!!!! Thank you so much. You are a great and went above and beyond 😀
