When you’re involved in an event that requires crowd management, temporary fencing is one of the most essential tools available to maintain control and order in how people move around your event. Temporary fences and barricades help block off areas, contain crowds so they don’t spill over onto another property, and prevent people from entering restricted areas. You can also use fencing and barricades to keep guests safe by managing the number of several many people in a single location.
A1 Portables offers several types of temporary fencing and barricades for any event and can help you find the ideal crowd management solution for your event.
The Benefits of Temporary Fencing
Temporary fencing offers benefits you may not have considered. Sure, the fact that it’s fast and easy to install and can be reconfigured quickly is a primary advantage, but we want to share others with you.
- Temporary fencing can keep event attendees safer by providing clearly marked pathways in an emergency. It also allows emergency personnel to get to the scene quickly.
- Events with temporary fencing to organize lines will operate more smoothly and likely draw patrons back to future events hosted by your company or brand.
- You can use the fence as a branding opportunity by placing banners and other signage on it.
- You may see an increase in revenue when people can easily access areas to make purchases. This is particularly true if you are selling alcohol at the event. To reduce waiting times, create a queue for alcohol purchases separate from food and merchandise.

Making the Most of Temporary Fencing
Planning ahead is vital to getting the most benefit from your temporary fence. Are you hosting an arts festival where the attendees are likely to be calm or a sporting event where the home team’s win or loss can significantly affect the behavior of the crowd?
Casual events generally require less stringent fencing and security practices. Every successful event that will host a large crowd should begin with a risk assessment during which you identify potential safety and security risks. Knowing how large and what type of crowd you’ll be managing is also crucial. Have crowd management and emergency plans in place, and ensure your team is familiar with them. Your team should have easy access to communicate via radio or other two-way devices. Practice your emergency plan a few times so everyone knows where to direct guests and how to get them to safety quickly and efficiently.
