One of the most common questions we get at AF&G is: “How much does temporary fence rental cost?” The answer depends on several factors, but we believe in transparent pricing. Here’s what affects the cost of your temp fence rental and what you can expect.
What Affects Temporary Fence Rental Pricing?
1. Linear Footage
Temporary fencing is priced by the linear foot. A small residential job requiring 100 feet of fencing will cost significantly less than a large commercial construction site needing 1,000+ feet. Most rental companies charge per panel (typically 6 or 12 feet wide), so your total perimeter determines your base cost.
2. Rental Duration
Short-term rentals (a weekend event) and long-term rentals (a 12-month construction project) are priced differently. Longer rental periods typically have lower per-month rates. At AF&G, we offer flexible rental terms and work with you on pricing for extended projects.
3. Installation and Removal
Professional installation ensures your fencing is properly anchored and secure. This is especially important on construction sites where OSHA compliance matters. The cost of professional setup is well worth it — improperly installed temp fencing that blows over in wind creates liability and costs more to fix.
4. Type of Fencing
Standard chain link panels are the most economical option. If your project requires additions like:
- Privacy screening or windscreen — adds visual screening and wind protection
- Barbed wire top — for high-security applications
- Pedestrian gates — for controlled access points
- Vehicle gates — for equipment and delivery access
These add-ons increase the total cost but serve important functions for site security and compliance.
5. Site Conditions
Hard surfaces like concrete or asphalt require weighted bases instead of driven posts, which can affect pricing. Rocky or uneven terrain may require additional labor. Urban sites with limited access may take longer to set up than open lots.
6. Delivery Distance
AF&G serves Arkansas and 9 surrounding states. Delivery to Conway, Little Rock, or North Little Rock is straightforward. Projects further out may include delivery charges based on distance.
How to Get the Best Value
- Plan ahead: Rush orders cost more than scheduled deliveries
- Know your perimeter: An accurate measurement means an accurate quote
- Consider duration: Longer terms usually mean better rates per month
- Bundle services: If you also need parking lot striping or other services, ask about package pricing
