Whilst all types of temporary fencing offer the common factor of being suitable for short-term use in boundary marking and perimeter protection, some can offer better features than others to meet the specific requirements of construction sites and the laws in place to protect the public and site workers alike.
● Standard Heras temporary fencing panels include the range’s anti-climb mesh to offer secure protection against perimeter trespass and vandalism. Although offering significant perimeter protection once installed and coupled, at 13.8 kg each, standard temporary panels are relatively lightweight for handling and can be easily and efficiently set up – ideal when temporary barriers are needed quickly following emergencies, offering speedy short-term security.
● Heras heavy duty panels differ from standard panels through their additionally robust design and construction. The thickness of the horizontal bars of heavy duty panels provide a frame width of 38.1 mm, instead of the 25mm width frame of standard panels. This enhanced frame width adds an extra 2kg of steel to the panel construction, creating an overall weight of 15.9 kg per panel. This, along with the Smartweld anti-climb mesh panel means that temporary fencing runs created from heavy duty panels offer increased security and durability.
● Heras heavy duty round top fencing panels offer a distinctly different design and construction, to provide the outstanding durability required for longer term deployment and security. Whereas standard and heavy duty panels are constructed with corner welding, heavy duty round top anti-climb fencing has a frame which is formed from one bar which creates three whole sides of the panel. Without the ‘weak spots’ of corner welding, round top heavy duty fence panels offer a more robust construction which means greater durability than either standard or heavy duty panels and is still a relative light-weight at 16 kg per panel.
All Heras temporary fencing is galvanised offering good weather resistance, ideal for meeting the environmental requirements of sites or when building protection is required in extreme weather conditions.
