Temporary Mesh Fencing

Heras fence panels

Every panel in the standard range has anti-climb mesh infill, with no open-mesh economy panel among them, so the choice comes down to how hard the panels will be worked, how the fence line needs to look and what the job can spend.

Anti-climb round-top panels

The round-top panel is the one most buyers mean when they ask for Heras fencing, and it is the default for perimeters on building sites, demolition works and events. Rounding the top corners of the tubular frame reduces stress at the corners and leaves no sharp points to catch hands or clothing during handling. HERMEQ supplies it as anti-climb temporary fence panels and as a galvanised mesh fencing panel, both made to be put up, taken down and reused from one job to the next.

Panels with a centre bar

A horizontal bar across the middle of the panel braces the mesh and resists distortion when the fence is struck by a pallet, a barrow or a swinging load. The temporary fencing panel with centre bar suits compounds, haul roads and loading areas where panels take knocks and are moved often, and where a bent panel would leave a gap in the line.

Powder coated mesh panels

Coloured panels give a frontage a uniform finish in a client's or contractor's colours, and on large sites and venues they mark out zones, with one colour for pedestrian routes and another for plant or storage areas. HERMEQ powder coats panels in-house, so powder coated mesh panels come in stocked colours or matched to a specified RAL colour.

Used anti-climb panels

Used panels come from previous installations and are inspected before sale, with the same round-top frame and anti-climb mesh as new stock. Because they carry marks from earlier jobs, used anti-climb mesh fence panels suit internal segregation, storage compounds and short-term runs where cost matters more than appearance, while new or coated panels are the better choice for a public frontage.

Temporary security fencing systems

High-value compounds, critical infrastructure and long perimeters left unattended call for more than a standard panel, and the five systems below are chosen by the level of threat, the ground and whether the fence needs to raise an alarm.

Rigid mesh rapid deployment fencing

Rapid deployment security fencing puts the rigid mesh panel of a permanent security fence into a freestanding temporary format, and it is the step up for compounds that need the strength of rigid mesh in a fence that can still be moved. Hex pin fixings resist unauthorised removal, the base is shaped to avoid trip hazards beside footpaths, and the system is wind tested to BS EN 1991 for exposed positions.

Double wire on ground fencing

Double wire mesh uses a pair of horizontal wires at every crossing, which makes a very rigid panel. Double wire on ground security fencing suits places where a temporary fence needs the rigidity and finish of a permanent one, such as schools, sports grounds and airports as well as construction sites, and it is wind tested to BS EN 1991.

LPS 1175 security rated fencing

Our LPS 1175 temporary security fencing is certified to the Loss Prevention Standard for intruder resistance and wind tested to BS EN 1991, so it is the system to specify when a client, insurer or security plan asks for a rated barrier. Hidden fixings and a cantilever base let it go up without foundations around utilities, critical infrastructure and high-risk compounds.

V mesh on ground defence

V mesh is a heavy welded wire mesh formed with V-shaped folds along the panel, which stiffen it against bending. The V mesh on ground defence system stands each panel in a concrete block base, so it secures a temporary or semi-permanent zone where digging or drilling is not possible or not permitted, such as over buried services or on a client's finished surfaces.

Monitored fencing with tamper alerts

Monitored mesh fencing with tamper alerts builds detection into the barrier itself: the panels register impact, movement or cutting and raise an alert, with an optional relay to an alarm. The system suits remote compounds and high-risk sites that are not staffed around the clock, where a breach has to be known about as it happens.

Fence feet, clips and ballast

The base is matched to the ground and the exposure of the site, from feet alone on firm, sheltered ground to added weight or ground fixings as the ground softens and the wind rises, and every item below is in the temporary fencing accessories range.

Rubber and anti-trip fence feet

Each panel leg sits in a fence foot, and rubber block fence feet are the general choice: heavy enough to hold a run on firm, level ground, light enough for one person to carry, and shaped to stack on a pallet or in a stillage. On walkways, public frontages and event sites, hi-vis anti-trip fence feet have a lower profile and a bright finish that people see and step over more easily.

Fence clips and anti-tamper couplers

Galvanised fence clips bolt the frames of neighbouring panels together so the run holds together as one fence. Anti-tamper fence clips use a nut that only turns with a matching security spanner, which stops panels being unbolted by anyone without it. Anti-lift fence brackets stop panels being lifted straight out of their feet.

Stabilisers, block trays and ballast

A stabiliser is a brace from the panel frame down to the ground on the inside of the fence line, and it stops a run rocking or folding over in wind. On grass, soil and other soft ground the stabiliser foot is held with ground pins. On hard standing and exposed sites, fence stabilisers and block trays carry ballast instead, such as hi-vis ballast blocks filled with water or concrete. Heavier blocks are in the concrete fencing and ballast range, and open, coastal and high-level sites need stabilisers at closer spacing than sheltered ones.

Water-filled fence bases

Water-filled bases combine the foot and the ballast in one unit that is light to carry empty and heavy once filled on site, and they hold a run where nothing can be fixed into the ground. The Slot Block water-filled fence base grips the standard panel along its length in a narrow footprint for inner-city and roadside work. The Aqua Base water-filled stabiliser is a low-profile base that turns 90-degree corners. The water-filled Rota Block stands on its own and links in pairs where a position needs more weight.

Locking systems for fixing to the ground

Where the client allows fixings, a mesh fence feet locking system screws or bolts the base of each panel into soil, concrete or asphalt, so the run holds without ballast and leaves a compact, anti-trip footprint on busy walkways. A stabilised version adds a brace for exposed positions, and a version made for V mesh panels fixes down rigid security fencing in the same way.

Covers, netting and fence lights

Printed mesh fence covers carry branding, project information or event graphics across a full panel, and debris fence netting holds dust and debris inside demolition and refurbishment works. Both close the open mesh, so a covered or netted run catches much more wind than a bare one and needs stabilisers and ballast at closer spacing. Battery fence lights mount on the mesh to mark the fence line with an amber flash after dark.
