If you’re managing a construction project in Calgary, chances are you’ll need temporary fencing at some point. But before you order the first panels you find online, it pays to ask the right questions—the kind that save you money, keep you compliant, and make life easier on-site.
At Nero Contracting, we supply and install temporary fencing for job sites throughout Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, and Chestermere. We also make sure our clients know what to expect. Here are five key questions we recommend asking before renting fencing for your next project.
1. Is the fencing compliant with City of Calgary regulations?
Not all fencing is created equal. Calgary has strict guidelines on:
-
Minimum height requirements (usually 6 ft for construction zones)
-
Panel stability (must resist wind loads and tampering)
-
Secure access points for workers and equipment
Make sure the company you choose knows the local bylaws—and provides panels that are up to spec.
At Nero Contracting, we only supply construction-grade fencing that meets or exceeds Calgary’s safety codes. We also stay on top of any regulation updates so your job doesn’t get delayed or flagged.
2. Do I need fencing with gates or privacy screens?
Depending on your site, you may need:
-
Lockable swing or sliding gates for vehicle access
-
Pedestrian gates for safe walk-in entry
-
Privacy mesh or screening to block dust, debris, or visibility in residential areas
Gates make logistics easier. Screens can improve neighborhood relations—and help keep your project discreet.
We offer both as add-ons, and we’ll help you decide if you need them based on location, project type, and duration.
3. How long will I need the fencing—and can I extend the rental?
Some jobs wrap up in a few weeks. Others go for months. Always confirm:
-
Your minimum rental period
-
Whether pricing is weekly or monthly
-
What happens if your timeline changes
At Nero Contracting, we offer flexible rental options with easy extensions, because we know construction doesn’t always follow the schedule.
4. Who’s responsible for setup and takedown?
You want your crew focused on the build—not hauling panels or troubleshooting fence lines.
Ask:
-
Will the rental company deliver and install the fencing?
-
Will they adjust or move panels if your site layout changes?
-
Do they offer removal and cleanup afterward?
We handle full-service installation, repositioning, and removal—so your crew can stay productive and your site stays safe.
5. What’s the total cost—and what’s included?
Always ask for a clear breakdown. Look for:
-
Panel rental price
-
Setup and delivery fees
-
Add-ons like gates, screens, or sandbags
-
Any damage deposits or service charges
We provide transparent quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises, no fine print.
