Are you expecting mammoth crowds at a concert or special event you're organising? If so, installing temporary fencing around the venue of your event is an excellent way to control the crowd.  

In selecting the right crowd control fencing, you must be mindful of what's most important – your specific needs. Typically, you'll want to ensure everyone has a swell time while staying safe. But how can this be achieved?

Here's a look at four crucial factors to look into when looking for temporary fencing hire for crowd control purposes. 

Nature of the crowd 

What's the disposition of the crowd you're expecting at your event? Usually, the event itself sets the stage for the type of crowd that shows up.

If you're planning a rock music concert, things can get a little rowdy if fans get a little too excited. You'll need to hire a temporary fence that's strong enough to confine crowds to defined areas. Steel fencing may be a great choice if you expect a tough crowd at your event.

If you're planning an indoor sports event where fans will be confined to the seating area, you may only need to worry about keeping the ball on the field of play. A high glass fence may be what you need to keep the ball on the court without blocking fans' view of the game.

Nature of the ground

Is the ground on which your event will be held flat or jagged? If the ground is paved, flat feet barricades can be the best fence choice for your event. These fencing systems are designed to grip flat surfaces, such as pavement. They come with hooks on either end so you can join several barricades together to form one long barrier.

If the ground at your event venue is uneven, say like at golf courses or fairgrounds, bridge feet barricades can provide the stability required for any effective crowd control barrier.

Aesthetics 

If aesthetics matter to you, it's imperative to get a fence that's effective at controlling the crowd but also looks nice. Cosmetic considerations are secondary to the functionality of crowd control fencing and must be treated as such. 

Once you've chosen a temporary fence that will keep the crowd in check, look into the colours, textures and finishes available for your fence type. If you're looking for an elegant, practical crowd control barrier system, vinyl event fences deserve a mention. These fences are designed to maintain their beautiful, original look throughout their service life.

If you need help choosing the best crowd control fencing for your special event, don't hesitate to consult a temporary fencing provider.
