Top Temporary Fencing related questions
There are two main reasons to use temporary fencing around a construction site: to keep the project and workers safe and to prevent outsiders from getting hurt. A temporary security fence stops passers-by from accidentally wandering in and getting injured by debris or construction equipment. Also, the fence prevents interruptions and trespassing. Once you’re done using the temporary fencing on your construction site, consider hiring local after builders cleaning services through our platform.
First, you'll need to check the conditions on the site. Assess the ground, the immediate area, and the weather. Next, get the tools and materials for your temporary security fencing. Then, start installing the bases and panels, then connect the panels using clamps. Anchor your fence using temporary fencing stays. You may also want to wrap the panels with mesh or cloth rolls for better privacy and security.
There are several materials and fencing types that you can use as temporary fencing. These include a typical picket fence, bike rack barricade, chain link fence, and aluminium mojo barricades. Temporary picket fences are dog proof and are great for keeping intruders out of the area. Bike rack and mojo barricades are great for crowd control - especially if you need help managing a large event. Lastly, chain link fences are usually used at carnivals or construction sites.
Construction sites, events (such as marathons and concerts), and even carnivals require temporary fencing. Each kind of project calls for a different sort of temporary fencing, so it’s best to consult a local specialist about what materials will best fit your needs. Temporary garden fencing may differ from what a commercial construction site will need. A construction fence may not be the best for the spectators and participants in your sporting event.
This depends! You can request the disassembly of your temporary fencing in your task post and include this in your budget. Or if you don’t have an exact date on which you’ll no longer require a temporary fence, you can book a Tasker later on. Temporary fencing isn’t the only chore a Tasker can do for you - our platform also helps you find local construction workers and affordable demolition experts.

What do temporary fencing services include?
When you request temporary security fencing services through our platform, you may expect a Tasker who can safely install a temporary fence that best fits your needs. In general, here’s what you can expect a temporary fencing specialist to do once they arrive at your location:
Assess conditions before installation
The Tasker starts by checking the weather and ground conditions on the site. The ground should be level, and there should be no danger of rain and slippery slopes. The immediate area should also be clear: no pedestrians, no intrusions, no passing traffic.
Bring the necessary tools and materials
Once the fencing specialist has declared the area ready for installation, they can bring in the necessary tools and materials. These include the fencing system (panels or pickets), the fence base, brackets, clamps, stays, nuts, bolts, a shifting spanner, and a cloth or material to protect your fence from dirt and debris.
Installing the first temporary fencing base and panel
Next, the Tasker sets the first fencing base into position. Then, they can place one of the posts of the first panel into one of the holes of the base. After this, they may connect a second fencing base to the other end of this first panel. The goal should be to support the first panel between these two fencing bases.
Connecting the panels
After the Tasker gets the first few bases and panels down, it's just a matter of properly connecting the rest of the fencing system. Use temporary fencing clamps to hold the first two panels together and secure them with a nut and bolt-thread side facing inwards to avoid possible injuries. They should also check for sturdiness and make sure the nut is nice and tight.
Once the Tasker has put up the first two panels, it's just a matter of putting down the next temporary fencing legs and panels and connecting them.
Securing your temporary fencing
Next, the Tasker installs safety stays to prevent your temporary security fencing from falling over. These stays go on the back of each panel and are attached using brackets. In addition to stays, the fencing specialist may also recommend using concrete blocks or sandbags to keep the fence sturdy.
Finally, the fencing specialist covers your fence using banner mesh, shade cloth rolls, or other types of fencing wrap. Banners increase security and privacy; these can even be used to advertise your business.

Stabilise a temporary fencing in backyard facing a lane way
$300
Melbourne VIC 3015, Australia
21st Jul 2026
I have approximately 3 metres of temporary construction fencing already onsite at my property in Newport. The panels are currently leaning and need to be stood upright, properly joined, braced and secured so they cannot fall into the rear laneway or onto anyone. I would also like black privacy mesh/shade cloth attached to block the view through the fence. Please do not use solid tarpaulin if it will create a wind-loading risk. Please include any required clamps, stakes, braces, sandbags or other basic fixings in your offer, and advise how you propose to secure it. Photos are attached. Bottom tooth photos showed how the fence used to look standing right and how it has now fallen with strong winds. This is a temporary make-safe solution only, not replacement of the permanent boundary fence. Budget: $250-300 open to reasonable offers.
Joe was great very efficient and did a great job stabilising my back fence! Would recommend him highly !
Need a fencer or handyman to temporarily secure a section of a fence
$250
Narre Warren VIC 3805, Australia
21st Jul 2026
My house in Narre Warren recently caught on fire and I arranged for demolishers to remove the house and clear the land. In doing so they damaged the back fence and it has started to collapse in one section (see red outlines in pics). Fortunately, I have recently signed a bill of sale for the property and that will settle on 3/8/2026 and the new owner has agreed to pay for a new fence to be constructed in the near future. In the meantime it is presenting as a risk for the tenant next door, and I have been asked by their agent to make the fence safe. I am in need of a fencer or handyman to temporarily secure that section of the fence so that it remains upright until the new owner can rebuild.
Totally recommend Daniel for any handyman work you might have. He's polite, fast and efficient with a particular attention to detail. I hope to use him again in the future.

Repair a separated Colorbond fence (temporary or permanent solution)
$150
Epping VIC 3076, Australia
4th Jul 2026
There is a large gap between two sections of my Colorbond fence (see Photo 1). I don’t think it’s caused by loose fasteners. Instead, I suspect the fence has shifted because the foundation has moved, causing the entire left fence section to lean backwards and separate from the right section. At this stage, I don’t want to rebuild the foundation or replace the fence posts. I’d simply like to reconnect the two sections so the fence looks like Photo 2, with no gap. Photo 3 shows the entire backyard—the fence on the right is the one that needs repairing, while the fence on the left is in good condition. Is there a simple way to do this? For example, could a metal joining plate, timber board, or another type of bracket be used to bridge the gap and secure the two sections together? If so, what materials would you recommend, and what would be the best way to install them so they’re reasonably strong? If you think the fence should be repaired properly instead, I’d also appreciate your recommended solution and a quote for the work.

Temporary repair / secure kicked-in timber fence panels
$250
Surry Hills NSW, Australia
15th Jun 2026
I need someone experienced with basic carpentry or handyman work to temporarily close up and secure several kicked-in timber fence panels. The fence adjoins a laneway / rear access area and a few vertical timber palings have been kicked in, leaving gaps large enough for someone to see or potentially access through. This is a temporary security repair only until the full fence can be replaced. What needs doing: * Re-secure or replace the broken / loose timber palings where possible * Close up all visible gaps in the fence * Reinforce the damaged section so it cannot be easily pushed in again * Use practical temporary materials such as timber palings, plywood, bracing timber, screws, brackets, or similar * Make the area neat and safe, with no sharp nails, loose timber, or protruding screws * Remove or stack any loose broken timber neatly Materials: Ideally, please supply materials and include them in your quote. Happy for this to be a practical, secure temporary fix rather than a perfect cosmetic match. Access: The damaged fence is at the rear/side of the property and photos are attached. Requirements: * Must have own tools * Must be able to assess and complete a solid temporary repair * Experience with timber fencing, gates, or basic carpentry preferred * Need this done as soon as possible for security reasons
Trevor was absolutely brilliant! He came out the next day at very short notice to repair our fence. Really great job, and he was so friendly and quick to respond. Absolutely recommend anyone to use Trevor’s services.
