A hoarding fence is a crucial component of a construction site or an event area, or a restricted area. It is secure, confidential, and regulatory, and it allows branding. Hoarding is also durable, weatherproof, and it has a proficient finish when they are constructed using PVC fencing materials; it can significantly improve the appearance of the entire site.
Assuming you are considering establishing one, the following is a step-by-step process of installing it accordingly.
Step 1: Plan and Measure the Area
Before starting, draw out the perimeter where your hoarding fence will be installed. Take precise measurements to determine how many panels, posts, and fittings are needed. Planning in this manner prevents material shortages and ensures the fence fits nicely along site boundaries.
Step 2: Ground Preparation
There must be no debris, rocks, or other obstructions in the area of installation. In case the ground is uneven, it is best to level it as much as possible in order to have a good base. This is an essential step to make sure that the fence is steady and straight.
Step 3: Install the Fence Posts
To properly mark out your fence posts, make sure that they are at an equal distance apart to provide the framework stability. Make the post holes deep enough so that the posts fit in with the help of drilling or digging. In the case of PVC fencing, tie the posts permanently or fix them on concrete or heavy-duty bases (depending on permanent or temporary fencing options).
Step 4:Fix the Hoarding Panels
When the posts are set, it will be time to fix the hoarding panels firmly. PVC hoarding panels are both lightweight and strong, and this increases ease of installation without sacrificing strength. Have all panels comfortably levelled and firmly affixed so as to avoid cracks or looseness.
Step 5: Add Bracing for Extra Stability
On sections that may be subjected to heavy winds or subjected to high use, it may be necessary to incorporate diagonal bracing or additional braces. This will assist the hoarding fence to resist external pressures without sliding or falling.
Step 6: Gap and Alignment Check
Walk all around the fence to see whether there are any uneven panels, loose fittings, or visible gaps. They may undermine security and privacy and therefore make alterations prior to completing installation.
Step 7: Add Branding/Signage (Optional)
A hoarding fence may also be used as a marketing fence. Use every possible surface space by adding printed banners, safety signs or company branding and securing the site.
Step 8: Final Safety Inspection
Inspect the job carefully prior to pronouncing it complete, checking to make sure all the panels are fixed firmly, posts are steady, and the fence is safe.
