Construction Site Hoarding Panels

Section 164 of the Highways Act 1980 states that razor wire on land adjoining a public highway must be installed 2.4 metres above the ground and ‘must not cause a nuisance to humans or animals using the highway’. Appropriate signage should be displayed warning the public that razor wire is in place.

Dig in timber hoarding can be as high as you like, within reason. We’ve installed 6m height hoarding previously, although the cost rises significantly over 2400mm height as wind loading increases exponentially.

The dimensions of our free-standing hoarding varies depending on the design. Typically the panels are 2400mm (height) with a 1200kg concrete block placed every 1800mm. Total depth of the hoarding is normally 1200mm, but different ballast can be used if space is a problem.

The dimensions of our standard panels in our steel hoarding system are 2100mm (width) x 2400mm (height). Each panel weighs 40kg. However, the 2000mm height panels are more popular as the wind loading is a lot lower, meaning less ballast needed.

Securing construction sites with fencing or hoarding is not just about keeping intruders out; it is also essential for ensuring the safety of the general public passing by. The need for secure fencing or hoarding around construction sites is made clear within The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, introduced by the Health and Safety Executive’s Construction Division.

Our wooden hoarding is available as C16/24 grade timber, softwood ply sheets or hardwood ply sheets, available in a range of thicknesses to ensure maximum reliability.
