Temporary fence rental — construction sites and events

Six-foot and eight-foot panel fencing for site perimeter, crowd control, and event sectioning. Sandbag bases, wind screens, walk gates, and equipment gates available.

Temporary fencing does two jobs: keep people in (crowds, event guests, pedestrians) or keep people out (active jobsites, equipment yards, hazards). The fence and the install are the same; the configuration is the difference.

Porta John Guys delivers fence panels in six-foot and eight-foot heights, with optional gates, privacy screens, and weighted bases. Installed by our crew or dropped for customer pickup — your call.

Panel specs

Standard panels are six-foot by twelve-foot or eight-foot by ten-foot, welded steel, around seventy-five pounds each. Galvanized for weather. Hardware (clamps, bases, brackets) included with every drop.

If the job calls for visual screening — a construction site visible from a busy street, an event that wants to feel enclosed — we ship privacy mesh that snaps onto the panels in a few minutes per panel.

Sandbags vs concrete bases

Sandbag bases are standard on grass, dirt, and gravel — they do not damage the surface and they install in seconds. Concrete bases come into play on paved surfaces where the wind has nothing to catch on except the fence itself.

For high-wind exposure or events near water, we add weight per panel. Tell us the site condition when you book and we will spec it correctly.

Gates

Walk gates (single-panel swing) for pedestrian access on event setups. Equipment gates (double-panel wide) for vehicle and equipment ingress on jobsites. Both lock if the application calls for it.

Frequently asked

How fast can you install?
Next-day install is standard with restrictions. Same-day depends on schedule and distance from yard.
Do you do customer pickup?
Yes. Pickup from our Columbia SC yard is available for crews equipped to install themselves. Most customers prefer full-service install — it is faster and the fence comes out straighter.
What about wind screens or privacy mesh?
Available as an add-on. Snaps onto the panels with provided clips. Useful for construction-site visual screening or event privacy.
