Construction Fencing Installation
Temporary construction site fencing for job site safety, public protection, and site security. Fort Smith, Van Buren, and throughout the River Valley. Coordinates with your build schedule.
Construction Site Fencing for the River Valley
Construction fencing serves three critical functions on any job site: it protects the public from construction hazards, protects your equipment and materials from theft and vandalism, and meets the OSHA site safety requirements and local building code requirements that govern active construction in Arkansas. ACE Fence Company installs construction fencing throughout Fort Smith, Van Buren, Greenwood, and the broader River Valley — and coordinates with general contractor schedules to minimize disruption to the build process.
Temporary Chain Link Panel Systems
The most common construction fence type. 6-foot tall chain link panels with weighted feet and wind-brace coupling — fast to deploy, easy to reconfigure as the project evolves, and removable when the project is complete. ACE Fence installs and removes temporary panel systems with access gates for material delivery and equipment movement. Wind screen fabric is available for projects where visual screening or dust control is required by neighbors, the municipality, or the project specification.
In-Ground Temporary Chain Link
For longer-duration construction projects or perimeters that need to withstand higher wind exposure or vehicle contact, in-ground driven post construction fencing is more appropriate than panel systems. Posts are driven or set in soil (not concrete, for removability) with standard chain link fabric attached. This system is more resistant to wind loading and accidental contact but requires more time to reconfigure.
Permanent Construction Security Fencing
Some construction projects involve ongoing secured operations — aggregate yards, material staging facilities, or construction operations that will eventually transition into permanent commercial use. ACE Fence installs permanent chain link from the start of construction for these projects, which eliminates the cost of a temporary system and the need for a later permanent installation.
Construction Gate Systems
Every construction fence needs access points — for equipment, material deliveries, and personnel. ACE Fence installs construction access gates appropriate for the project: swing gates for standard vehicle access, and wider openings for heavy equipment. Access gates can be padlocked for after-hours security or fitted with basic keypad control for active construction sites with multiple access types.
Working with General Contractors
ACE Fence works regularly with Fort Smith area general contractors and subcontractors on construction site fencing. We provide the written estimates, insurance certificates, and project documentation that GC compliance programs require. We coordinate installation timing with your project schedule and handle the removal when the project reaches its fence-off milestone.
Pricing Factors for Construction Fencing
- System type — Panel systems vs in-ground vs permanent installation
- Linear footage — Per-foot pricing decreases on larger perimeters
- Duration — Longer projects may have different pricing structures
- Access gates — Number, size, and gate hardware specification
- Privacy/wind screen fabric — Optional addition to any system
- Reconfiguration — Changes to fence layout during construction may have incremental costs
Construction Fencing FAQ
What is construction fencing?
Construction fencing is temporary perimeter fencing installed around active job sites to control unauthorized access, meet OSHA site safety requirements, protect the public from construction hazards, and define site boundaries. ACE Fence installs construction fencing for commercial, residential, and infrastructure projects throughout Fort Smith, the River Valley, and Northwest Arkansas.
What types of construction fencing does ACE Fence install?
ACE Fence installs temporary chain link panel systems (the most common construction fence type), in-ground temporary chain link with driven posts, and permanent chain link for ongoing secured operations. We supply and install standard 6-foot temporary panels with feet, wind bracing, and privacy screen fabric where required by the project.
How much does construction fencing cost?
Temporary chain link panel installation typically runs $3–$8 per linear foot per month for rental-based installations, or $12–$20 per linear foot for permanent in-ground temporary installations. Pricing depends on duration, linear footage, access gate requirements, and privacy screen fabric.
