Crowd control fences

Crowd control fencings have been widely used in large crowd gatherings. They are mainly used for events such as concerts, riots, or other mass gatherings. They are effective in such events for the following reasons:

Hoarding fences

They ensure the safety of the work site and ward off any unwanted access to the site. Such fences can also be used to create multiple zones in a single, large job site. Moreover, they can be used to secure materials by performing a perimeter around them. Due to their portability and usability, they are a great tool.

Road fencing barriers

This type of fence is widely used around the world. They are an essential tool for road safety. They are installed on either side of roads, especially on high-speed roads. You can find these fences on motorways, highways, etc. They are important because they keep cars from going off-road in an accident. Apart from high-speed roads, they are also used in hilly areas. Such roads are usually steep and have a cliff around them. Having such fences on hilly roads is a must.

Emergency chain link fences

These fences make use of two strong posts. They are driven inside the ground. A wire is wound tightly around the poles in a crisscross manner. This ensures the rigidity of the fences. These fences are usually used for securing a perimeter. Since the wires are wound in a crisscross manner, they don’t block visibility.  If privacy is not your biggest concern, they are the best option. They can also be thought of as a temporary solution. However, you can use them permanently as well. They can be seen in multiple areas in Saudi Arabia, where mild protection is required.

Silt fencings

Silt fences are a common phenomenon in construction sites. They are more common in construction sites that are near water bodies. They can include large water reservoirs, rivers, etc. Silt fences stop the soil from spilling over and getting mixed in water. Not only that but they are also used as waste management tools. However, they are not as sturdy and should not be used as a main support fence. They can collapse which can lead to safety issues on the job site.

Mesh partitioning fences

This type of fence is used for organizing things. They have a similar build to chain link fences; however, they are not used for security. They are mainly used in warehouses, etc. The fence design allows things to be hung by them. This is great for storing and organizing tools or other equipment easily. They can also be locked, allowing users to secure their items inside. This is a great way of both organizing and securing things at the same time.
