Temporary fence is for a site that needs to be closed off for weeks or months, not years. We set up panel fence on stands and driven-post chain link for construction sites, house teardowns, street-side renovations, events and emergency closures in Saint Paul and nearby towns. It goes up fast and comes down without leaving holes in finished ground.
Winter changes how temporary fence is set. Panels on stands need weights or bracing, because an empty lot in January is windy and a windscreen turns a panel into a sail. Stands freeze to the ground and gates get blocked by plowed snow, so we plan the gate location with the site's plow route in mind. Driven posts are an option before the ground freezes hard.
Many jobs in the city sit right at the sidewalk. If the fence has to stand on a sidewalk, boulevard or street, the city has to approve that use of the right of way first. We tell you who to ask and lay out the fence to match what the city allows.
Temporary fencing in Saint Paul: common questions
How soon can temporary fence be installed?
It depends on how much footage you need and our schedule that week. Call with the length, the number of gates and the dates, and we will give you a firm day.
Can temporary fence secure a fence line a storm knocked down?
Yes. Panels can close the gap the same way they close a job site, which keeps pets in and people out until the permanent repair.
Do you add gates and windscreen?
Yes. Vehicle and walk gates are standard add-ons. Windscreen can be added when the fence is braced or weighted for the extra wind load.
