Event and Festival Fencing and Gates

Event and festival fencing plays a vital role in keeping outdoor events safe, organised and easy to navigate. Temporary fencing systems are used at music festivals, sports events, seasonal fairs, and public gatherings. They help control crowds, protect equipment, and create clear areas on a site. Our range of event fencing solutions are designed to be strong, easy to install and suitable for both small-scale and large-scale events.

Highly Versatile: Suitable for concerts, marathons, markets, construction areas within event sites and emergency situations.

Our Event & Festival Fencing Range

Temporary Fencing Panels and Gates

Temporary fencing panels and gates are one of the most versatile options for events, providing strong perimeter security and clear boundary control. They are ideal for protecting backstage areas, securing equipment storage and preventing unauthorised access to restricted zones. Their durable construction means they perform well in high-traffic areas, while their freestanding design allows them to be repositioned easily as site layouts change.

Steel and Timber Hoarding Fencing and Gates

Steel and timber hoarding creates a solid, private barrier that is perfect for screening off sensitive or unattractive areas. These panels are often used around technical zones, power generators, staff areas and construction sections within an event site. Hoarding offers a clean, professional finish and also provides space for event branding, directional signage or safety messages.

Crowd Control Barriers

Event barriers are designed specifically for managing large volumes of people. They are commonly used at entrance gates, ticketing areas, queue lanes, spectator zones and along parade routes. Their interlocking design helps maintain smooth pedestrian flow and reduces the risk of overcrowding. Lightweight but durable, these barriers can be set up quickly and adjusted throughout the event.

Rapid Deployment Fencing

Rapid deployment fencing is ideal when fast installation is essential. It is often used by event security teams for emergency crowd redirection, temporary road closures or managing unexpected increases in footfall. With pre-connected panels that can be rolled out in minutes, it provides immediate control and is especially useful during peak arrival times or in high-pressure situations.

Plastic Barriers (Chapter 8 Barriers)

Plastic Chapter 8 barriers are widely used for pedestrian guidance and traffic management at events. Their bright colours and reflective elements make them highly visible, which is particularly useful in low-light or poor-weather conditions. These barriers are ideal for marking walkways, separating pedestrians from vehicles and highlighting temporary hazards such as uneven surfaces or wet ground.

Tree Protection Fencing

For events held in parks, estates or natural settings, tree protection fencing helps safeguard important environmental features. It prevents damage from crowds, event vehicles and temporary structures, making it an essential choice for organisers who need to preserve natural landscapes and comply with environmental guidelines.

Ground Protection

Ground protection products such as boards, mats and covers help prevent damage to grass, pathways and heritage surfaces. They are ideal for high-traffic zones, equipment areas and temporary vehicle routes. By spreading weight and reducing wear, ground protection reduces post-event restoration work and helps maintain the integrity of the site.
