Temporary Fence is used where building a permanent fence is either impractical or unneeded.

Temporary fencing is used when an area needs barriers for the purposes of public safety or security, crowd control, theft deterrent, or equipment storage. Its most common use is as construction hoarding for security fencing around building sites. Other uses for temporary fencing include venue division at large events and public restriction on industrial construction sites.

Temporary fencing is also often seen at special outdoor events and parking lots.
