Most weekend events covered if you call by Wednesday
Temporary fencing for events of every size
We hire crowd-control and perimeter fencing for events across Glasgow and the central belt — from a 6-panel cordon round a school fair to a 200-panel festival perimeter. Same anti-climb mesh panels we use on construction sites, just deployed differently: defining venue boundaries, controlling crowd flow, securing stages and back-of-house areas, separating ticketed zones, keeping crowds clear of hazards.
If you’re organising an event in Glasgow, Renfrewshire or Lanarkshire and need a perimeter, ring us. We’ll talk through what you actually need (most events over-spec on panel count first time) and get the panels delivered the day before the event.
Common event setups
Festivals and outdoor music events
Full venue perimeter, back-of-house separation, stage exclusion zones, VIP / ticketed area divisions. Delivery the day before, installation completed before gates open, collection the day after.
Markets, fairs, and community events
Crowd separation, market boundary, parking control. Typically 20-50 panels. Saturday-morning delivery often available if booked early in the week.
Sporting events and tournaments
Pitch-side perimeters, crowd-control runs, ticket queue routing. We can deliver panels with extra ballast weights for windier exposed pitches.
Public realm events (council-run)
Road closures, pedestrian re-routing, infrastructure exclusion. We work with Glasgow City Council, Renfrewshire Council, and South Lanarkshire Council events teams — call us if you’re on a procurement framework or need supplier-list registration.
Weddings and private events
Driveway closures, marquee perimeters, parking control on private land, hot-tub installation security. Smaller hire (5-30 panels) — paid before delivery, no account needed.
Car shows, classic-vehicle gatherings, motorbike events
Venue perimeter, ticket-zone separation, vehicle queuing lanes.
Building site open days, show-home launches
Hoarded perimeter alternative, customer-flow control, parking marshalling.

Common event-organiser questions
How far in advance do I need to book? / Last minute event fence hire?
For Saturday events, calling by Wednesday usually secures Friday delivery. For last-minute bookings (e.g. event is this weekend), call us — if we have stock and a van free, we’ll make it work. For larger festivals (100+ panels), book 2-3 weeks ahead so we can plan the install crew and stock allocation. For last-minute panels (e.g. unexpected crowd, weather damage), call us — we’ll do what we can.
Can you handle a 200+ panel festival?
Yes — we run multiple vans on larger jobs and can stagger install over the day before the event. For very large events (500+ panels), tell us as early as possible — we’ll plan capacity and may bring in a partner firm to supplement.
Do you provide bracing for windy sites? Yes. We place 50 kg ballast blocks over the feet at £5 per block per week, usually one for every 2 or 3 panels. Recommended for any exposed outdoor venue, beach-front event or hilltop site.
Do you provide signage / health-and-safety wraps?
We don’t supply signage ourselves — most event organisers source branded mesh wraps separately or use the perimeter clean. Happy to recommend local printers if you want event-branded mesh sheeting.
Are panels suitable for crowd-control queuing?
Yes — standard heras panels are widely used for festival and event queuing. For very dense crowd-control (concerts, sports arenas) some events use specialised crowd barriers in addition to mesh perimeter; happy to advise.
Do you work with Glasgow City Council / other councils?
Yes — we’re set up as a local supplier for council events teams. Call to discuss specific procurement requirements.
Can you do urgent emergency delivery if panels are damaged or stolen mid-event?
Yes — emergency call-out available from £300. Call us, we’ll be on site within hours if at all possible.
