Fencing Couplers, also called fencing clips, are essential accessories for joining metal fencing systems, including hoarding panels and temporary fencing. These couplers are pressed from 1.5mm galvanised steel for strength and reliability on-site. They securely connect steel fence panels and improve structural integrity. Each coupler is supplied with a bolt, washer, and hex nut for rapid installation and long-term performance.
Fence clips (or couplers) are a reliable fixing method for joining temporary fencing together on construction and industrial sites. Made from pressed steel and galvanised for durability, these accessories are designed to fasten fencing panels—including mesh fencing and steel hoarding—at connection points with minimal tools required.
Each fencing coupler comes as a two-piece pressed steel body that fits around the tubular frame of your panel. Fastened by a standard bolt, washer and nut combination, it forms a solid joint to ensure your metal fencing remains intact even under pressure.
- Durable Steel Build - Fabricated from 1.5mm galvanised pressed steel for rust resistance.
- Universal Fit - Suitable for temporary fencing and hoarding panel connections.
- Secure Fixing - Supplied with M12 bolt, washer and nut for on-site installation.
- Fast Assembly - Fits around panel frames for quick and easy connection.
- Compliant & Reliable - Meets BS EN 10244-2 galvanisation standards.
Fence clips, also referred to as fencing couplers, are vital site accessories for constructing secure perimeter fencing. Used to join temporary fencing panels together—whether mesh or steel hoarding—they deliver the structural integrity that’s critical on fast-paced or high-risk job sites.
These couplers consist of two pressed halves that encase the fence tube and are held together using an M12 x 70 cup square bolt. This setup ensures each connection is both solid and repeatable, with no risk of over-tightening or warping. The galvanised finish protects the pressed steel from corrosion, making it suitable for long-term outdoor exposure in UK conditions.
In high-security environments or sites with fluctuating wind exposure, using two couplers per joint is advised to maintain panel stability. Whether you're building a barrier for public exclusion zones, managing site access, or laying out event fencing, these clips deliver consistent performance and easy integration with HERMEQ’s full range of metal fencing systems.

HERMEQ’s Fence Clip (Coupler) is engineered for secure and efficient assembly of temporary fencing systems on construction, demolition and industrial sites. Designed for compatibility with mesh fencing and steel hoarding panels, this coupler is pressed from 1.5mm galvanised steel with deep arches for enhanced rigidity.
Each clip measures 175mm in length and 50mm in width, providing a wide contact surface for even pressure distribution when securing panels. The inner shape of the pressed arches hugs the curvature of standard fence tubes, ensuring a snug fit. Included with each coupler is a galvanised M12 x 70 half-threaded cup square bolt, washer, and a standard hex nut—everything required for immediate on-site application.
Couplers can be installed using a single spanner, reducing setup times while maintaining reliable joint tension. Once installed, the clips keep panels securely joined even in adverse weather or under light impact. Many contractors opt for two couplers per vertical connection to improve wind resistance and prevent panel movement.
These fencing couplers are particularly useful in settings where panels must be adjusted or relocated quickly—ideal for changing site layouts, temporary public safety barriers, or modular hoarding lines. Their durable galvanised finish meets BS EN 10244-2 and protects against corrosion, ensuring long product life with minimal maintenance required.
Whether you’re setting up a temporary exclusion zone, crowd control system, or secure boundary, HERMEQ’s fence clips integrate seamlessly with all major temporary fencing standards. Contractors trust these components not only for ease of use but also for their durability, compliance, and cost-effectiveness on site. Use them in conjunction with HERMEQ base feet, pedestrian gates, or hoarding panels to build complete fencing systems tailored to your site’s needs.
