Construction sites are fenced both for safety and security.They need to be isolated from the public by using a temporary fencing that complies with the standards laid out.

There are some specific rules about construction site fencing that help determine the fencing. They should include:

·         How the fencing is designed and constructed

·         Where it needs to be constructed

·         How it allows the flow of traffic in and out of the site

·         How high and strong it should be

·         The kind of signage to display

Shoring, as its popularly known, commonly uses portable aluminium cyclone fence.These are put up with a construction wrap-like shade cloth to keep the dust from flying all around the neighbourhood. The shade cloth traps the dust and debris, keeping them within the construction site.The shade cloth requires braces to support it against the wind.

With some using just temporary fencing, others consider solid fencing that uses solid self-supporting panels that are either erected on their own or have support from scaffolds.This type is commonly used in larger developments and in town centres where there is a lot of traffic.
