FAQs About Hoardings
Hoardings are temporary or semi-permanent panels used to enclose construction and civil sites, separating work areas from the public, securing the site perimeter and providing a clean visual surface for branding and signage. They're a standard requirement on urban and high-traffic projects. United Rentals sells hoardings across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and regional locations.

Hoardings are used to enclose a construction or civil site, separating the work area from the public and providing a secure perimeter. Beyond security, they protect the public from site activity, contain dust and debris, and provide a clean surface for project branding, wayfinding, safety signage and developer graphics. They're commonly required by local councils and site managers on urban and commercial projects.
Hoarding types vary by site requirements. Temporary fencing is used for shorter projects and lower-risk sites, providing a quick perimeter. Timber and panel hoardings are used for longer-term projects, offering a more solid barrier with a printable surface. Printed hoardings include developer branding, hoarding graphics or safety messaging. The right type depends on the project duration, public exposure and council requirements.
Hoarding panels come in standard sizes that suit most site applications, typically supplied at the height needed to meet council and safety requirements for the project location. Panel widths vary, and panels can be joined to create continuous perimeters of any length. Specific dimensions, finishes and fixing options should be confirmed with our sales team based on your site plan and council conditions.
