Types of Hoarding Construction
In construction, two primary types of hoarding are commonly used
Hoarding Panels
Hoarding panels are temporary structures that enclose construction sites, offering both safety and security. Typically made from plywood or metal panels, they can be customized with branding and designs to promote the project or company. These are particularly beneficial in high-traffic areas, where they enhance visibility while ensuring public and worker safety.
Site Fencing
Site fencing, on the other hand, is a temporary fencing primarily used to restrict access. Made from mesh or chain-link panels, it helps prevent unauthorized entry while maintaining site security. Site fencing is an ideal solution in remote or less populated areas.
Hoarding Design and Installation Process
- Site Survey and Requirement Analysis
The process begins with a detailed survey of the construction site perimeter. This includes assessing access points, ground conditions, and surrounding environments. We also take note of any hoarding height requirements to ensure the hoarding system meets both practical and regulatory expectations while maintaining a secure boundary. - Site-Specific Wind Load Assessment
Before proceeding with installation, we perform site-specific wind calculations to evaluate environmental factors. This allows us to provide a robust hoarding wind load assessment, recommending wind-resistant hoarding solutions where necessary. These assessments help prevent structural failure in high-wind conditions and ensure long-term safety. - Design and Customisation
Next, our design team creates a tailored hoarding layout to suit your site needs. We incorporate advertising hoarding panels, construction signage and barriers, and branding elements that reflect your company identity or promote the project. All designs are developed in accordance with standard hoarding size UK guidelines for uniformity and compliance.
- Permit and Compliance Management
We assist with acquiring the necessary hoarding permit UK by preparing all required documentation for submission to the local authority. Our solutions are designed to align with health and safety regulations, ensuring full compliance from the outset of the project. - Material Selection and Manufacturing
Based on the site requirements and design specifications, we select high-quality materials such as steel, timber, or PVC. We also include essential safety features like construction hoarding lighting, secure locks, and reflective elements to improve visibility and security. All components are manufactured to deliver durability and performance. - Installation Planning
Once materials are ready, our team plans the setup logistics. Depending on the project, we determine whether an in-ground hoarding installation (which involves digging and concreting support structures) or a surface-mounted option is more suitable. This step ensures a safe and efficient installation process.
- Hoarding Installation
Our experienced team then installs the hoarding system on-site, ensuring each section is securely positioned. We follow best practices in anchoring, bracing, and securing the hoarding panels. The system includes all designed elements such as lighting, signage, and access control features, delivering a complete and secure enclosure. - Quality Check and Final Inspection
After installation, we carry out a comprehensive inspection to ensure everything is correctly aligned, stable, and compliant. We double-check the integration of construction signage and barriers, lighting systems, and that all hoarding height requirements are met. - Ongoing Maintenance and Adjustments
As your project progresses, we offer continued support to adjust or maintain the hoarding as needed. This includes repositioning panels, replacing damaged sections, and ensuring that the system remains compliant and safe throughout the construction timeline.
Choosing the Right Hoarding for Your Site
When selecting hoarding for your construction site, it’s essential to consider the type of barriers that will best meet your needs. Temporary site hoarding options such as steel fencing provide robust security and effective separation of the construction area from the public. These barriers not only enhance protection but also maintain an organized site. Whether you require fencing for a short-term project or durable panels for an extended period, the right choice will ensure that your construction site is secure and compliant with local regulations. Some types of hoarding, such as modular and steel hoarding systems, are designed for reuse. These systems can be disassembled, stored, and reinstalled at different sites, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution for long-term construction projects.
Types of Hoarding for Construction
Construction hoarding comes in various types.
Plywood Hoarding
Plywood hoarding is the most widely used option in construction. Made from sturdy plywood sheets, it provides a solid barrier around the site and can be easily customized with branding, messaging, or promotional graphics.
Metal Hoarding
