10 Questions About Temporary Fence Rentals

- Where Can Temporary Fencing Be Installed?
Temporary fencing has a ton of utility and can be installed on practically any surface. FenceLine has safely installed temporary fences on rock, dirt, mud, grass, asphalt, and concrete without issue.
The biggest challenge when installing temporary fencing is steep surfaces. In an ideal world, you want the surface where you’re installing your temporary fence to be as flat and stable as possible. It’s still possible to install on hills or areas with an incline, but the steeper the grade, the more complex the installation becomes.
- What Lengths & Heights of Fence Does FenceLine Carry?
Every fence that Fenceline Rentals Ltd. carries is 10 feet long, and you can adjust the number of panels you rent based on the size of the perimeter you’re trying to fence in.
We also offer temporary fence rental panels in three unique heights: 4 feet, 6 feet, and 8 feet, depending on what your project requires. A dog run might only need temporary fence panels that are 4-feet tall, while a major construction site would want taller.
We also offer gating systems and safety and security accessories, ensuring a customized solution that fits your site’s unique needs.
- How Is Temporary Fencing Installed & Removed?
You can pick up your temporary fence rental from FenceLine and install it yourself, but we also offer delivery and set-up. The FenceLine team delivers seven days a week and will install it at your location, ensuring its safety and security.
Our dedicated team will also show up at the end of your construction project, outdoor event, or whatever else you require temporary fencing for and remove it from your site.
- Are Permits Required for Temporary Fencing in Calgary?
In most cases, you don’t require a permit to set up temporary fencing. There are strict rules for when it’s required, though, as laid out in the National Building Code – Alberta Edition.
For any construction or demolition project located 2 metres or more from a public way, you need a fence or barricade that’s no less than 1.8 metres high and that fencing can’t have any openings except those required for access. That’s where gates come in, and FenceLine has a great selection of gates for rent that fit any project.
- Does the Same Temporary Fencing Work Year-Round?
Simple answer: Yes. Alberta has a harsh climate, and we understand that. All of our temporary fence panels are built to withstand the harshest winter days and the unpredictable weather that can hit Calgary year-round.
There are a few things you can do to make sure your temporary fencing is ready for all that Mother Nature will throw at it in winter, though, especially if you’ve purchased your own temporary fencing.
- What Type of Project Requires Temporary Fencing?
Temporary fencing can be used for renovation projects, construction sites, and all sorts of outdoor events. As for when it’s required in Calgary, any construction or demolition job that’s located two metres or more from a public way requires fencing for the duration of the project.
The team at FenceLine Rentals Ltd. can help you determine if temporary fencing is required on your site and which panels will best serve your project’s needs.
- Is It Better to Rent or Buy Temporary Fencing?
This depends entirely on your project’s needs. There are advantages to buying and renting temporary fencing.
Temporary fence rentals are great for one-time events, especially since our team can install and take down your panels. They’re also extremely cost-effective for short periods.
Buying temporary fencing can be more cost-effective in the long term, though, especially for companies that require temporary fences for multiple projects.
- How Long Am I Required to Rent Temporary Fencing For?
Whether you’re hosting a short-term event, like a concert or outdoor sporting event, working on a construction project that’s going to last months, or building a dog run that will last years, Fenceline Rentals Ltd. offers temporary fence rentals with flexible rental periods. They can be adjusted without issue if a project will take longer than expected, as well.
- What Sort of Fencing Is Best for a Dog Run?
Building a dog run is a great way to provide your pup with a space to exercise freely and enjoy being outdoors, without you having to worry about them running off or destroying your carefully manicured landscaping.
With FenceLine, you can mix and match temporary fence rentals to create the perfect dog run for your space. We also have custom gates and accessories available. It is important to acquire durable, high-quality fence panels for your dog run that will withstand tough weather and keep your dog secure.
- Do I Need Temporary Fencing for Renovations?
If your renovation project will impact neighbours or create safety hazards outside of your home, it’s a good idea to get temporary fence panels. They create a clear barrier that will keep kids, pets, and neighbours away from potentially dangerous materials and also provides security from anyone who might look to steal or vandalize the site.
Before you start any project, be sure you know the local safety codes.
