Also known as temp fencing, construction fencing, site fencing in Wellington and around New Zealand.
Wellington’s hillside sections, narrow streets, and famously strong wind loads make site security and stable fencing especially important — a lot of central-city and Hutt Valley jobs also deal with steep or restricted vehicle access for delivery and pickup.
What’s Included
Standard mesh fence panels, delivered and installed to your site outline
Crowd control barricades for events or high-foot-traffic areas
Gates (single or double) built into the fence line where you need site access
Pickup and removal at the end of the hire period
Temporary Fencing Hire Pricing in Wellington
Temporary fencing is typically priced per linear metre of panel — commonly $5–$15 a metre per week for shorter hires, dropping to roughly $2.20–$3.50 a metre per month for longer jobs, plus setup/dismantling (often around $1/metre, with a minimum charge) and a delivery fee. Gates are priced separately. These are typical New Zealand market rates, not a quote — exact cost depends on your site perimeter, gate count, and hire duration.
Wellington Site Considerations
Wellington City Council requires a permit for any temporary structure, fencing, or bin placed on a footpath or road reserve — check this before your supplier delivers if your site line runs to the street edge.
Temporary Fencing Hire FAQs
How is temporary fencing priced?
Usually per linear metre for the fence run, plus a separate cost for any single or double gates. Longer hires and larger perimeters bring the per-metre rate down with most suppliers.
Do I need a permit for temporary fencing on a construction site?
Fencing on private property generally doesn’t need a permit, but fencing that encroaches onto a footpath or road reserve usually does. Check with your local council if your site line extends past the property boundary.
Can I add crowd control barricades to a standard mesh fence order?
Yes — many sites use standard mesh fencing for the site perimeter and crowd control barricades for pedestrian-facing areas or events. You can request both in the same quote.
