FENCING FOR CONSTRUCTION SITE

• Construction sites are full of powerful equipment, sharp tools, and heavy materials. Together, these objects make construction sites extremely dangerous areas for those who do not belong there. Thus, a temporary fence can provide a barrier to protect people from accidental injury as well as prevent theft of expensive equipment located on a construction site.
