Whatever the Weather: Temporary Fencing for Windy Days

The long summer days might be drawing to a close, but the UK events calendar certainly isn't. September and autumn bring concerts, sporting fixtures, fairs, community celebrations, corporate events and plenty of outdoor occasions that still need professional infrastructure.

The difference is that organisers now need to start thinking more seriously about changing ground conditions, rain and those increasingly windy and gusty days.

At Temp Fencing 247, we provide sturdy temporary fencing and barrier systems for events across the UK. From straightforward crowd management to substantial perimeter fencing and our 3-metre-high steel shielding, we can help organisers prepare their sites for the more unpredictable conditions that arrive as summer turns Whatever the Weather: Temporary Fencing for Windy Dayinto autumn.

Summer Is Ending, but Event Season Isn't

Outdoor event planning doesn't stop when August finishes. Autumn can be a particularly busy period for sporting events, concerts, freshers' events, fairs, markets, Halloween attractions, Bonfire Night celebrations and other public gatherings.

What does change is the weather. A site that might have enjoyed dry, settled conditions in July can face rain, mud and gusty conditions later in the year. That makes choosing suitable event infrastructure particularly important.

Our temporary fencing and crowd barrier hire gives organisers a range of options for controlling access, defining boundaries and managing visitors around outdoor sites.

Sturdy Temporary Fencing for Changing Conditions

Temporary fencing needs to do much more than simply show people where they should and shouldn't go. Depending on the application, it may be responsible for creating an event perimeter, separating public and restricted areas, controlling access or protecting operational parts of a site.

That is why correct installation is so important. The appropriate fencing system, supports, stabilisation and installation method need to be selected for the particular site and conditions rather than treating every outdoor job in exactly the same way.

Temp Fencing 247 has more than 40 years of experience in the entertainment and events industry, and our trained team handles installation efficiently and safely.

Heavy-Duty Steel Shielding for Event Perimeters

For sites requiring a substantial perimeter solution, our steel shielding fencing provides a heavy-duty option.

Our steel shielding panels measure 3 metres high by 2.4 metres wide and are supported using extra-long bracing poles. On suitable grass surfaces, the long stabilising legs can be pinned into the ground, while a ballast system can be used for installations on hard standing.

As well as creating a substantial physical boundary, the 3-metre height makes steel shielding useful for restricting views into backstage, production and other controlled areas. It can also provide a large surface for event advertising and branding.

Crowd Barriers for Busy Autumn Events

Not every part of an event requires tall perimeter fencing. Our crowd control barriers can be used to organise pedestrian routes, establish queues and separate public areas from operational spaces.

For concerts and live performances, suitable barrier systems can also be used around stage and audience areas. Event organisers can therefore combine different types of fencing and barriers rather than attempting to make one system perform every job across the site.

Don't Forget About the Ground Underneath

Wind isn't the only autumn weather consideration. Increased rainfall can turn heavily trafficked grass into mud surprisingly quickly.

Our trackway and temporary flooring systems can be used to establish temporary pathways and access areas while helping to keep busy parts of an event cleaner.

We offer metal trackway as well as aluminium and plastic lock flooring systems for different applications. These can be particularly useful when an event takes place on grass or another surface likely to deteriorate under repeated footfall.

Build Your Autumn Event Infrastructure in One Place

Preparing an outdoor site for autumn often means considering several requirements at once. As well as fencing and flooring, organisers need to think about welfare facilities, crowd movement and catering.

Temp Fencing 247 can support an event with a broader infrastructure package incorporating temporary fencing, crowd barriers, trackway and portable toilet facilities. We can also provide event catering units, with options including coffee, burgers and fries, loaded fries, Chinese noodles, mac and cheese and vegan food.
