Are Temporary Fencing and Hoardings the Same?
Are temporary fencing and hoardings the same? Not quite. Both are used to separate construction areas from their surroundings, but they serve different purposes depending on the site, the work being carried out, and what needs to be protected or screened from view. The difference becomes easier to understand when you consider a real project. A contractor repairing an external drainage line may need a temporary fence to mark the work area and restrict entry. A retailer renovating a shop beside an active shopping centre corridor may need solid hoarding to screen the construction activity from customers. Choosing between them is not simply a matter of appearance. It affects how the site operates, how people move around it, and how the construction area is presented to the public.
