As the CEO of DB Fencing, my years in the industry have taught me that the question of how long temporary fences last is not just about a number. It’s about understanding the factors that influence their lifespan and how to maximize their durability. In this guide, I’ll share insights into making your temporary fencing stand the test of time.
Understanding Temporary Fences
Temporary fences are a versatile solution for securing construction sites, events, and various outdoor areas. Their design for short-term use doesn’t mean they lack durability. With proper care, these fences can last much longer than their intended temporary period.
Factors Affecting Lifespan
- Material Quality: The choice of material plays a crucial role in the fence’s durability.
- Environmental Conditions: Weather and site conditions can significantly impact longevity.
- Maintenance and Handling: Regular maintenance and careful handling can extend a fence’s life.

Maximizing the Lifespan of Temporary Fences
Choosing the Right Material
At DB Fencing, we’ve always prided ourselves on not just meeting but exceeding the industry standards for temporary fencing. Our commitment to quality, safety, and durability is evident in every product we manufacture. In this detailed guide, I’ll take you through the technical specifications that make our temporary fences the best choice for your projects in Australia.
The DB Fencing Difference: Technical Excellence
Our approach to manufacturing temporary fencing is rooted in precision engineering and adherence to Australian standards. Here’s how we ensure our products stand the test of time and elements:
- Welding and Construction
360° Full Hand Welded Joins: Our temporary fence panels feature 360° full hand-welded joins, ensuring robust anti-wind performance. The infilled wire mesh panels are meticulously welded to the frame tube on both sides, providing unparalleled strength. - Material and Design
Flattening for Efficiency: We’ve optimized our design with flattened horizontal tube endings, allowing for the loading of up to 550 sets/1×40’HC. This not only enhances transport efficiency but also contributes to the overall stability of the fencing.
Diverse Tube Options: Our frame tubes, essential for the temporary fence feet, are available in various outer diameters, including 32mm, 38mm, 40mm, 42mm, and 48mm, with a standard 2.0 mm wall thickness, ensuring compliance and adaptability. - Durability Through Galvanization
Hot Dipped Galvanised: To ensure maximum durability, our panels undergo a hot-dipped galvanization process, achieving a galvanizing thickness of up to 60 microns, surpassing the AS 4687-2007 standard. This process guarantees our fences’ longevity, especially in harsh seaside environments.
Pre-Galvanised and Painted: For additional protection and aesthetic appeal, our pre-galvanized tubes and anti-climb mesh are welded, then painted, achieving a coating thickness of 18 – 24 microns. - Ensuring Safety and Compliance
Safety is at the forefront of our design philosophy. Our temporary fence panels are engineered to be free of burrs and spikes, minimizing the risk of injuries. Additionally, our fencing solutions come equipped with durable plastic bases/feet, featuring a 5-year UV and anti-aging guarantee suitable for the Australian climate. - Enhanced Stability and Accessibility
Steel Clamps and Bracing: Our hot-dipped galvanized steel clamps and bracing systems meet the A.S. 4687-2007 standards, ensuring enhanced stability and security for your fencing setup.
Fence Gate Options: We offer Australian Standard compliant pedestrian gates, customizable in height and width, to integrate seamlessly with your temporary fencing line, ensuring easy access and security.
At DB Fencing, our dedication to providing high-quality, durable, and compliant temporary fencing solutions is unwavering. Through advanced manufacturing techniques, meticulous material selection, and a commitment to safety and environmental standards, we ensure that our products are not only built to last but also tailored to meet the specific needs of your projects in Australia.
Proper Installation Techniques
Ensuring that fences are installed correctly can prevent damage and wear, extending their usability.
Maintenance Tips for Temporary Fencing
Regular checks and minor repairs can significantly extend the life of your temporary fencing. Look for signs of wear and tear, and address them promptly to prevent further damage.
Storage and Handling
- Proper storage when not in use protects the fencing from environmental damage.
- Correct handling during assembly and disassembly minimizes physical damage.
