Australian Standard Temporary Fence

 

How the Australian Temporary Fence System Works

The Australian temporary fence is a freestanding three-part system: a framed welded mesh panel, a concrete-filled plastic foot, and a coupler clamp that joins each pair of panels at the top. Nothing is dug, drilled or bolted into the ground - panels stand on their own feet, which means a full site boundary goes up in hours and comes down just as fast, ready for the next job. That is why it is the default system on Australian construction sites, outdoor events, crowd barriers and pool fencing, and why hire/rental companies make up a large share of demand: the same panels survive years of repeated install-move-store cycles.

Choosing the Right Duty Level

32×1.4 mm frame + 3.0 mm wire - the rental-market workhorse: light enough for one worker to carry, cheapest per panel.

32×1.8–2.0 mm frame + 3.5–4.0 mm wire - construction-grade panels for long projects and high-traffic sites where panels take knocks.

48 mm frame - heavy duty perimeter and crowd control at major events.

Wind stays - add angled support stays on exposed or coastal sites; required in most Australian wind regions for panels over 1.8 m.

Typical Applications

This system is used across residential and civil construction sites, demolition zones, outdoor concerts and festivals, sporting events, swimming pool barriers during construction, and pedestrian walkway separation. Compared with temporary chain link strung on star pickets, framed panels stay upright without tensioning, can be repositioned by hand as the site layout changes, and are far easier to store and reload - the practical choice wherever a boundary is temporary but safety compliance is not.

FAQ

Q: Do the panels suit AS 4687 requirements?
Yes - panel dimensions, mesh, foot loading and construction follow AS 4687 (temporary fencing and hoardings); test documentation is available on request.

Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is one 20ft container (approx. 200 panels plus feet and clamps); production takes 12–15 days after order confirmation.

Q: Can panels, feet and clamps ship together?
Yes - complete system kits: panels flat-stacked, feet and clamps boxed, loading plan provided so everything lands together for immediate hire stock.

Q: What is the container loading?
One 40ft high cube loads approx. 400–450 panels plus matching feet and clamps, depending on frame thickness.
