Temporary Construction Fencing in Bakersfield, CA
Bakersfield Quality Fences Temporary construction fencing secures active work zones, controls site access, and meets OSHA and local safety requirements for job site perimeter barriers. We provide temporary fence setup, relocation, and removal services for construction sites, renovation projects, and special events throughout Bakersfield and Kern County. Panels can be configured for any site geometry and moved as the project phases change.
If you need a job site secured quickly or a perimeter fence configured for a specific project phase, call us or submit a request. We can typically deploy within 24 to 48 hours for standard configurations.
Temporary Construction Fencing Services in Bakersfield, CA
Temporary construction fencing serves a different function than permanent installation — it needs to be deployed quickly, modified as the project progresses, and removed cleanly at project completion. Portable chain link panels on weighted bases are the standard solution for most Bakersfield construction sites. The bases allow the panels to be set on any surface — dirt, asphalt, concrete, or pavers — without drilling or staking, and they can be reconfigured within hours when site access requirements change.
Temporary fence requirements on construction sites are not optional — they protect the public from active hazards, prevent unauthorized site entry, and limit liability for the general contractor and property owner. Local code and OSHA guidelines specify when temporary fencing is required based on proximity to public areas, excavation depth, and project type. We install temporary fence systems that meet those requirements and can coordinate with the GC or project manager on configuration requirements for specific inspections.
Portable Panel Systems
Standard temporary fence panels are 6 feet tall by 10 feet wide, constructed from chain link fabric on a welded steel frame. Panels connect to each other with sleeve couplers and sit on interlocking rubber or concrete weighted bases that keep the system stable without anchoring into the surface. For sites with wind exposure, additional base ballast or panel-to-panel bracing can be added to prevent tipping. We maintain a panel inventory sufficient to handle large perimeter configurations without wait times for additional panels.
Privacy Screening
Privacy and dust-control screening can be attached to temporary fence panels to reduce visual exposure into the work site, limit wind-driven dust from reaching neighboring properties, and create a more professional site appearance. Screening is available in solid and mesh configurations. Solid screening on temporary fence in exposed locations requires additional ballasting and panel bracing to manage the increased wind load — the same panel setup that handles 6-foot open chain link fence may not be adequate for the same panels fully screened.
Temporary Access Gates
Temporary construction fence gates allow controlled access for vehicles, equipment, and personnel. Swing gates on temporary panel systems are attached using chain or pin connections rather than permanent hinge hardware. For sites with frequent vehicle access, we configure gate openings wide enough for the equipment types in use and install chain-and-lock gate hardware that can be operated by authorized site personnel without requiring the fence crew to reconfigure the panel each time.
Why Bakersfield Quality Fences for Temporary Fencing
Temporary fence installations need to be fast, flexible, and correctly configured for the site conditions. Here is what we bring to these projects.
Fast Deployment
Construction timelines do not wait for fence crews. We can typically deploy standard temporary fence configurations within 24 to 48 hours of the request. For time-critical project starts, we prioritize temporary fence deployments that are holding up site mobilization.
Wind Load Awareness
Bakersfield's spring wind events can tip temporary fence panels that are not adequately ballasted or braced. We assess site exposure when configuring panel systems and specify additional ballasting or bracing for sites with high wind exposure or screening attached to the panels.
Flexible Reconfiguration
Construction site perimeters change as projects progress through phases. We provide reconfiguration services to adjust the fence layout as access points move, as hazardous areas expand or close, and as the project footprint changes. Reconfiguration can typically be completed within a day's notice.
Clean Removal
Temporary fence removal should leave the site surface clean and undamaged. Weighted base systems do not require surface anchoring, so removal is straightforward on paved surfaces. On dirt sites, we level any ground disturbance from base placement before leaving.
Hard Surface Installations
Temporary fence installations on asphalt, concrete, and paver surfaces use weighted base systems that sit on the surface without any drilling or staking. This is critical for preserving the surface integrity of finished hardscape on occupied properties where construction work is being done adjacent to improved areas. Bases are heavy enough to maintain panel stability under normal conditions, with additional ballasting available for screened panels or exposed wind locations.
Event and Special Use Fencing
Temporary fence serves crowd control, hazard barrier, and event perimeter functions beyond construction sites. Outdoor events, community gatherings, and temporary facility installations use the same portable panel system with the appropriate gate and access configurations for the expected crowd size and movement patterns. We can configure event fence layouts quickly and provide setup and teardown service on the event schedule.
Long-Term Temporary Installations
Some projects require temporary fence to remain in place for months — phased construction projects, long-duration renovations, and held properties awaiting development. For these situations, we can improve the temporary fence stability with driven-post systems where the surface allows, providing a more secure perimeter for extended duration use without committing to a permanent installation.
Temporary Construction Fencing Process
Scope Review and Layout Planning
We confirm the fence perimeter dimensions, gate locations, access requirements, and surface types at the installation site. Screening requirements, wind exposure, and any special configuration requirements for the project are identified. For larger or multi-phase installations, we develop a phased deployment plan that aligns with the construction schedule.
Panel Delivery and Base Installation
Panels and bases are delivered to the site and positioned along the planned fence line. Bases are placed at each panel overlap and at intermediate positions for stability. Panels are connected with sleeve couplers and the system is checked for alignment and stability before the crew leaves. Any base adjustments needed for uneven ground are made during this phase.
Access Gate Setup and Screening
Gate openings are configured at the specified locations with swing gate panels attached using chain or pin connections. Privacy or dust screening is installed on panels where specified, with additional ballasting added to compensate for the increased wind load. Site entry signage attachment points are identified and confirmed with the site manager.
Removal and Site Restoration
At project completion or scheduled reconfiguration, panels, bases, and hardware are disassembled and loaded for return or redeployment. Ground disturbance from base placement is leveled on dirt sites. Surface markings or debris from the temporary installation are cleared. The site is left in the condition required for the next project phase or final handoff.
