Timber Hoarding
Timber hoarding is the first line of defence against debris and other objects or people entering into a construction site. These sturdy boards are made from high-grade plywood, and they can be free-standing or attached to building structures.

Metal Hoarding
Metal sheets with a riveted frame and snap-on clamps have many applications in the building industry. Between construction sites and other professional functions, they ensure your private or exclusive property is safe from prying eyes while also remaining mobile to allow for parking and access when needed.

Metal Temporary Hoarding
Metal sheet hoarding is the perfect solution for a solid work screen where there are many underground service.
Portable Steel Site Hoarding Panels are a cost-effective way of adding security and privacy to your site.
Portable steel hoarding panels are connected to one another using fence clips (couplers). We advise using two couplers per connection, on at the top of the panel and one at the bottom, in order to ensure that the system is well connected. The panels are made up of a 38.1mm tube on either side. The tube extends beyond the bottom of the panel allowing them to be slotted directly into rubber block fence feet. These feet will support the panel, ensuring that it stays in place and does not slip or easily fall over.
There are further accessories for improving your portable hoarding system.
Access control: you can allow pedestrians to gain access through the portable hoarding system by inserting a standalone pedestrian gate or a built-in portable hoarding security gate. For vehicles, you can look at inserting a portable hoarding vehicle gate or a more robust heavy-duty vehicle gate system.
As portable hoarding is often the first image that civilians will get of a new construction project many want to make the very best impression they can and ensure the site is as aesthetically pleasing as possible while retaining a high degree of privacy and security.
In order to do this, there are a number of options that you can look at. Firstly you can have your portable steel hoarding system painted or powder coated in your corporate colours. You can add bottom, middle and top strips across the panel to further improve the appearance.
You can also look at using colour coordinated infills and ground skirts. These will give you the image you want while ensuring that there are no gaps in your temporary hoarding system, securing civilians from flying debris and increasing the privacy of your project.
Ground skirts cover the gap between the bottom of the panel and the floor, whereas vertical infills fill the gap in-between temporary fence hoarding panels.
A steel hoarding system can also be re-enforced using in-ground hoarding stabilisers or a stabiliser and block tray system. This makes the temporary fencing system more secure in adverse weather conditions. We suggest using a stabiliser for every other hoarding panel connection, although you can use one on every connection for use in areas that suffers from particularly poor weather conditions.
