Temporary Fencing for Construction Sites

Temporary Fencing for Construction Sites: Why It’s a Must

When it comes to construction in NYC, security, safety, and compliance aren’t optional—they’re non-negotiable. One of the most effective and required tools to meet these needs is temporary fencing. Whether you're managing a small renovation or a multi-phase development, temporary fences help you protect your site, your team, and the public.

At Forrester Fence, we specialize in fast, reliable installation of chain link and plywood construction fencing for contractors, developers, and agencies across the five boroughs. Here’s why temporary fencing isn’t just a smart investment—it’s a must.

1. Site Security: Protect Equipment, Materials & Liability

Construction sites are frequent targets for theft and vandalism, especially after hours. Temporary fencing acts as your first line of defense by:

• Deterring unauthorized entry

• Securing expensive tools and materials

• Reducing liability for injury or trespassing

Whether you choose 6' chain link with barbed wire or solid plywood barricades, a fence sends a clear message: this site is monitored and protected.

2. Safety & Compliance with NYC Building Codes

The NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) requires proper enclosures around most construction zones, especially in public areas. Temporary fencing helps you:

• Meet safety regulations

• Prevent accidents or falls

• Comply with sidewalk and pedestrian protection rules

We’ve worked on DPR parks, SCA school sites, and countless private developments—so we know how to install fencing that’s up to code and inspection-ready.

3. Privacy & Dust Control

If your site is in a high-traffic area or near residential zones, visual barriers like painted plywood fencing can reduce complaints from neighbors and pedestrians. These fences:

• Conceal unsightly work areas

• Contain debris and dust

• Help maintain a professional, clean appearance

Want to display project renderings, branding, or permit signage? Plywood fencing provides the perfect surface.

4. Flexible, Scalable, and Fast to Deploy

Construction schedules change—and your fencing should adapt. At Forrester Fence, we offer rapid mobilization, layout flexibility, and fence relocation as your site progresses. Our team installs:

• Free-standing chain link panels (ideal for short-term use)

• Driven post chain link fences (more secure & stable)

• 8' or 10' plywood walls (built on-site, painted or raw)

Need to expand, shift, or remove your fencing mid-project? We make it easy.

5. Cost-Effective Protection

Compared to the cost of stolen equipment, job site injury lawsuits, or DOB violations, temporary fencing is a small price to pay for peace of mind. We offer competitive pricing, weekly or monthly rentals, and options for purchase depending on your needs.
