Why Use PVC Mesh Heras Fence Covers for Construction and Development Sites?
You've probably seen PVC mesh covers fixed to Heras fencing around construction sites, housing developments and roadworks. They help hide what's happening behind the fence while giving contractors somewhere to display information about the project.
Why do contractors use PVC mesh fence covers? They're a simple way to make better use of temporary fencing. Rather than leaving it uncovered, contractors can use it to identify the site, promote the project and display useful information.
Why is PVC mesh used instead of solid banners? Mesh is better suited to temporary fencing, particularly on exposed sites where windy weather can be an issue.
Can Heras fence covers improve the appearance of a site? They can help create a smarter-looking perimeter, particularly on projects that will remain behind temporary fencing for several months.
How long do PVC mesh fence covers last? They're commonly used on construction sites where temporary fencing remains in place for weeks or months.
Why do construction sites use PVC mesh fence covers?
Temporary fencing is there to secure a site, but it can do much more than that. PVC mesh fence covers turn plain Heras fencing into useful space for project information, company branding and safety messages.
They're now a common sight around housing developments, commercial projects and infrastructure works, helping contractors make better use of fencing that's already in place.
PVC mesh fence covers are commonly used on
- Housing developments
- Construction sites
- Commercial projects
- Demolition works
- Infrastructure projects
Why choose PVC mesh instead of solid PVC?
Solid banners can become difficult to manage on exposed sites when the weather changes. That's one of the reasons many contractors choose PVC mesh for temporary fencing instead.
Mesh is widely used on Heras fencing because it works well on sites where the fencing may remain in place for several months, while still providing a good surface for printed graphics.
Why contractors choose PVC mesh
- Better suited to exposed sites
- Ideal for longer projects
- Produces clear printed graphics
- Fits standard Heras fencing
- Straightforward to install
What can you print on a Heras fence cover?
A fence cover can be used for much more than a company logo. Many contractors include project information, contact details, development visuals and safety messages to make better use of the space around the site.
Printed fencing also helps people understand what's being built, who's carrying out the work and how to get in touch if they have a question.
Fence covers often include
- Company logo
- Development artwork
- Contact details
- QR codes
- Health and safety information
- Project details
Do fence covers help screen a construction site?
They do. While they aren't completely solid, mesh fence covers make it more difficult to see directly into working areas from outside the site.
That can help separate ongoing construction work from nearby roads, footpaths and neighbouring properties while creating a neater site boundary.
They can help screen
- Construction work
- Machinery
- Stored materials
- Welfare cabins
- Working areas
Can PVC mesh fence covers help with dust?
Construction work can create dust, particularly during demolition, excavation and groundworks. Mesh fence covers can help limit how much of that dust moves beyond the site boundary, although they shouldn't be relied on as the only form of dust control.
They're regularly seen on demolition projects, groundworks and new developments where work is taking place close to public spaces.
They're commonly used during
- Demolition
- Groundworks
- Excavation
- Site clearance
- New-build construction
How long do PVC mesh fence covers last?
PVC mesh fence covers are regularly used on projects that run for several months. Once fitted, they're intended to remain in place until the fencing is no longer needed or the project reaches its next phase.
How long they last will depend on how they're used, the conditions on site and how they're stored once removed.
They're suitable for
- Long-term developments
- Short-term projects
- Housing sites
- Commercial construction
- Infrastructure works
How are Heras fence covers fitted?
Most PVC mesh fence covers are supplied with reinforced eyelets and are attached directly to standard Heras fence panels using cable ties or bungee cords.
Because they're quick to install and remove, they're easy to reposition if the layout of the site changes as work progresses.
Installation usually involves
- Standard Heras fencing
- PVC mesh fence cover
- Cable ties
- Bungee cords
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. They're commonly printed with company branding, project information, contact details, development visuals and health and safety messaging.
Many can. If they're removed carefully and stored properly between projects, they can often be fitted to another site.
Most are manufactured to fit standard Heras fence panels, although bespoke sizes can also be produced where required.
