Your One-Stop Wire Mesh Fence Supplier | POLYMETAL
POLYMETAL temporary fencing panels for sale are designed for fast site control without sacrificing stability. They’re widely used in Australia for construction, civil works, events, crowd control zones, restricted-access areas, and short-term perimeter protection where panels must be moved, stacked, re-installed, and still stay upright in real wind conditions.
These free-standing panels are also called portable fence panels. In high wind areas, a brace (stay) is used to support the temporary fence line. A common practice is two fence clamps and three concrete feet per stay, creating additional strength so the fence stands well. For long lines, stays are typically placed in repeating intervals (commonly around 4.8m or 7.2m modules depending on wind and site exposure).
Product Description temporary fencing panels for sale
The panel frame is built from round steel tubing, typically OD32mm, OD38mm, OD40mm, or OD41mm. The frame is welded around a rigid infill mesh to create a strong, reusable panel that can survive repeated handling and stacking. Standard panel height is commonly 2100mm, with popular lengths of 2400mm, 3300mm (with middle rail), and 3500mm (with middle rail) to suit site layouts and truck loading patterns.
The infill mesh is commonly 60mm × 150mm, engineered to maintain visibility while reducing climb rhythm and preventing tools from easily reaching deep into the panel. Wire diameter options typically include 2.70mm, 3.00mm, and 4.00mm depending on security requirement and reuse intensity.
Frame wall thickness options are commonly 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm to match expected wind exposure, movement cycles, and the number of deployment rotations.
Corrosion protection can be specified at different levels depending on cost target and project duration. Common finish schedules include 14 microns pre-galvanized, 42 microns hot dipped galvanized, and 100 microns hot dipped galvanized for higher durability in harsh handling or coastal exposure.
For common 2.1m-high panels, a typical wire layout is 12 vertical wires with different horizontal wire counts depending on panel length: 38 pcs (2.1m×2.4m), 53 pcs (2.1m×3.3m), and 56 pcs (2.1m×3.5m). These counts help keep the panel tight, reduce “oil-canning” movement, and improve overall stiffness under wind load.
POLYMETAL temporary fencing panel systems can be supplied to comply with AS4687-2022 when specified and produced to the required tolerances, finish, and testing discipline.
Structure and System Logic
The true performance of temporary fencing panels for sale is not just the steel. It is the full system: frame OD + wall thickness + mesh wire diameter + weld quality + feet type + clamp security + stay spacing. If one link is cut to save cost, the fence doesn’t merely “look cheaper”—it starts moving, leaning, rattling, and in wind conditions it can fail as a line.
A stable temporary fence line is built by controlling three forces: wind load, vibration, and accidental impact. That is why mid-rails are used on longer panels, why heavier coatings matter for repeated deployments, and why stays and concrete feet are not “optional accessories”—they are the difference between a clean site boundary and a shutdown incident.
Top 17 Traps You Don’t Know About Temporary Fencing Panels for Sale (Especially #6)
Trap #1: Choosing frame OD by price, not by wind zone—thin frames flex and fatigue fast.
Trap #2: Buying “galvanized” without defining coating microns—finish life collapses under stacking damage.
Trap #3: Under-specifying frame wall thickness—panels bend at lift points and never stand straight again.
Trap #4: Picking mesh diameter too light—welded intersections loosen after repeat handling.
Trap #5: Ignoring the middle rail on long panels—unsupported spans pump in the wind and crack welds.
Trap #6: Skipping stays and concrete feet in “just moderate wind”—this is where lines fall, injuries happen, and projects get stopped.
Trap #7: Using weak clamps—movement becomes leverage and panels walk out of alignment.
Trap #8: Mixing panel sizes randomly—gaps form and the line becomes unstable at transitions.
Trap #9: No defined vertical/horizontal wire count—panels vary in stiffness and fail unevenly.
Trap #10: Poor weld cleanup—sharp burrs cut coating and corrosion starts at the first rainy week.
Trap #11: Over-stacking without separators—abrasion removes zinc protection before the panel is even installed.
Trap #12: Choosing the wrong feet for ground conditions—soft ground needs heavier foot strategy.
Trap #13: Installing without straight-line control—lean starts, then the lean spreads bay by bay.
Trap #14: Treating “temporary” as “low risk”—events and public zones raise liability massively.
Trap #15: Ignoring access point engineering—gates and joins are where breaches happen first.
Trap #16: Using one spec for every job—civil, coastal, and metro sites need different durability levels.
Trap #17: No inspection routine—small damage becomes progressive failure across the run.

Applications
POLYMETAL temporary fencing panels for sale are commonly used for construction site boundaries, road and rail works, demolition zones, utility trenching, event perimeters, crowd-control lanes, storage yards, restricted public access areas, school maintenance zones, and short-term industrial separation where fast installation and reliable stability are mandatory.
Benefits
POLYMETAL Australia temporary fencing panels deliver fast deployment, clear boundary control, high visibility through welded mesh, and repeat-use durability when specified with the correct tube OD, wall thickness, and coating microns. The system supports controlled access layouts, reduces site risk, and maintains professional presentation—especially important for public-facing projects where disorderly fencing creates complaints and unwanted attention.
Packing temporary fencing panels for sale
Panels are typically stacked with separators to reduce zinc abrasion, strapped into bundles, and loaded on pallets or directly into containers for efficient transport. Clamps, stays, and accessories are bagged and boxed for fast site counting. Concrete feet are commonly palletized for forklift handling, with clear labeling to prevent missing sets that would otherwise cause the “Trap #6” stability failure.
Standards and Quality Control temporary fencing panels for sale
POLYMETAL temporary fencing systems can be produced to comply with AS4687-2022 requirements when specified. Quality control focuses on frame tube thickness consistency, weld integrity at mesh intersections, panel squareness and flatness, coating thickness verification (14μm / 42μm / 100μm schedules), and packing discipline to reduce transport damage that triggers early corrosion.
FAQs temporary fencing panels for sale
What size is the most common for temporary fencing panels for sale?
The most common site panel is 2100mm high × 2400mm long, because it balances transport efficiency, line stability, and quick installation.
When should I choose 3300mm or 3500mm panels?
Long panels are efficient for straight runs, but they should use a middle rail and stronger stability planning (feet + stays) to avoid wind pumping and progressive leaning.
What mesh is typical for Australia-style temporary fencing?
A common welded mesh is 60mm × 150mm, paired with 2.70mm / 3.00mm / 4.00mm wire depending on duty level.
What finish is best for repeated rentals or coastal handling?
100 microns hot dipped galvanized is the go-to for high-reuse or harsh exposure where stacking abrasion and weather cycles are aggressive.
What causes the most expensive failures?
The most expensive failures usually come from stability shortcuts—especially Trap #6, where missing stays/feet turns wind into topple risk and triggers shutdown costs.
