Temporary chain link fence panels provide portable, freestanding perimeter security for construction sites, events, crowd control, and hazard containment - without the need for post-setting or concrete footings.

How It Works

Panels are typically 6’ H × 10’ W galvanized steel chain link welded to a steel frame. Each panel stands in a weighted or slip-on base, and panels connect end-to-end with clamps for continuous fence runs. Setup requires no tools or post-driving - a two-person crew can install a standard construction site perimeter in under an hour.

Common Applications

Construction sites: OSHA requires perimeter fencing for construction areas in proximity to pedestrians. Temporary chain link meets this requirement and can be repositioned as the site footprint changes.

Special events: Concerts, festivals, and sporting events use temporary chain link for crowd flow control, backstage perimeters, and VIP area separation. Panels can be topped with privacy screen for visual blocking.

Hazard containment: Utility work, street repairs, and excavations use temporary chain link to keep pedestrians and vehicles away from open trenches, equipment, and overhead hazards.

What to Order

Measure your total perimeter length, then divide by 10 (standard panel width). Add 10% for gates, corners, and overlap. CCW sells panels, bases, clamps, and privacy screens individually and as complete perimeter kits. All components are compatible with standard 6’ temporary chain link systems.

FAQs

1. What is temporary chain link fence?

Temporary chain link fence consists of freestanding, portable panels - typically 6’ tall by 10’ wide - made from galvanized steel chain link in a steel frame. Panels stand in weighted bases and connect together with clamps to form continuous fence runs. No post-digging or concrete is required.

2. How do you install temporary chain link fence panels?

Place weighted or pipe-style bases at regular intervals, slide each panel into the base sockets, and connect adjacent panels with panel clamps. Most installations are completed without tools. A two-person crew can install 200–300 linear feet per hour. For high-wind areas, use sandbag ballast on panel bases.

3. Does a temporary chain link fence meet OSHA requirements?

Temporary chain link fence meets OSHA construction site safety standards when installed to a minimum height of 6 feet adjacent to pedestrian traffic. These portable panels provide the necessary perimeter security for commercial sites and can be repositioned as work zones evolve. Always verify compliance with your site safety officer and local municipal ordinances, as specific height and material standards may vary by jurisdiction.

4. How much does temporary chain link fence cost?

Panel pricing depends on gauge, coating, and quantity. At CCW, temporary chain link fence panels are available individually and in bulk packs with quantity discounts. Request a bulk pricing quote for orders of 20+ panels. Complete perimeter kits including bases and clamps are also available.

5. Can temporary chain link fence panels be used for events?

Yes - temporary chain link is widely used at concerts, festivals, marathons, fairs, and sporting events for crowd control, perimeter fencing, and backstage separation. Privacy screen fabric attaches to panels with zip ties for visual blocking and wind reduction.

6. What’s the difference between temporary chain link fence and permanent chain link?

Temporary chain link panels are freestanding and designed to be moved and reused - no post installation required. Permanent chain link fence is post-driven or concrete-set and intended to remain in place. Temporary panels are typically lighter gauge (11–12 gauge) compared to permanent fence (6–9 gauge) and prioritize portability over long-term security.
