Sacramento Temporary Fencing

Temporary fencing is priced on four things: how many linear feet you need, the fence height, how long you keep it, and whether we are delivering and installing or you are collecting panels. Free-standing chain-link panels are usually quoted per panel or per foot on a weekly or four-week cycle; post-driven fence is quoted per foot and gets cheaper per foot the longer the run and the longer the term. Barricades and water barriers are typically day, weekend or weekly rates. Delivery, installation and removal are separate line items on every honest quote — if a number looks low, check whether it includes them.

Panel fence is free-standing: 6 ft by 12 ft or 8 ft by 10 ft chain-link panels that sit in portable steel bases and clamp together. Nothing goes into the ground, so it works on pavement, it can be moved as the job changes, and it comes out clean. Post-driven fence has its posts mechanically driven into the soil with chain-link hung on them. It is far more secure and cheaper per foot on long runs, but it needs drivable ground, it needs utilities located first, and it is a bigger job to relocate.

For stock items on a normal weekday in the metro, same-day or next-day is often achievable, and our yard sits in North Highlands so response into central Sacramento, Roseville, Rancho Cordova and the Arden corridor is short. Emergency work — fire, flood, a vehicle into a building, a red-tagged structure — is handled as a callout. Call and we will tell you an honest window rather than a hopeful one. Large post-driven perimeters need scheduling and a utility locate, so those are days, not hours.

On private property, generally no. The moment any part of the fence sits in the public right-of-way — sidewalk, parking lane, shoulder or street — you are into encroachment permit territory with the city or county that owns the road, and with Caltrans if it is a state highway. Pulling that permit is the contractor's or property owner's responsibility, not the fence supplier's. Tell us what the permit allows and we will set the line to match it.

Yes, on either panel fence or post-driven fence, in green, black or blue at 6 ft or 8 ft to match the fence height. It is supplied in 50 ft lengths. One important caveat: screen turns a fence into a sail. A screened run needs more ballast than an open one, and on an exposed site it may need bracing. We quote the ballast with the screen rather than discovering the problem in the first spring storm.

The greater Sacramento region: all of Sacramento County, south Placer County including Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Loomis and Granite Bay, Yolo County including West Sacramento, Davis and Woodland, and the El Dorado County foothill communities of El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park. If you are just outside that, call anyway — we will tell you plainly whether we can serve you well.
