Temporary Fencing Accessories for Heras-Style Fence Panels

A temporary fencing system relies on more than the panels themselves. Fence feet, couplers, braces, ballast and other support equipment help connect, stabilise and secure the perimeter according to the site layout, ground conditions and level of exposure.

Wade stocks a broad range of temporary fencing accessories for Heras-style mesh fencing and site hoarding, including rubber fence feet, standard and anti-tamper clamps, ballast blocks, stabiliser bars, ground pins, anti-lift devices and temporary fencing support systems.

If you are planning a complete installation rather than replacing an individual component, our guide to temporary fencing components and accessories explains what each part does and when it may be required.

Which Temporary Fencing Accessories Do You Need?

The right combination depends on how and where the temporary fence is being installed. A sheltered straight run of mesh fencing on level ground does not necessarily require the same support arrangement as fencing on uneven ground, a perimeter exposed to wind, a gate opening or panels carrying screening.

Temporary Fence Feet & Ballast Systems

Temporary fence feet provide the base support for standard mesh fencing panels. Wade stocks standard and high-visibility fence feet alongside heavier ballast products and alternative support systems for installations that require additional stability.

Ballast should be considered as part of the complete support arrangement rather than as a universal solution. The correct setup depends on the fence type, location and conditions.

For more detail on planning support equipment, see our guide to temporary fencing feet, clamps, ballast and stabilisers.

Temporary Fencing Clamps & Anti-Tamper Fixings

Fence clamps, sometimes referred to as temporary fencing couplers or clips, connect adjoining panel frames and help maintain a continuous perimeter.

Standard clamps are suitable for normal panel connections, while anti-tamper clamps can be used where increased resistance to unauthorised dismantling is required. Anti-lift devices can provide an additional measure where lifting panels vertically from their feet is a concern.

If security is a priority, read our guide to securing temporary fencing against unauthorised access.

Fence Braces, Stabilisers & Ground Support

Braces and temporary fencing stabilisers can provide additional support where a fence run is exposed, where the layout creates vulnerable points or where the site conditions require more than a basic panel-and-foot arrangement.

Different systems suit different surfaces. Ground pins are intended for appropriate soft-ground applications, while ballast-based arrangements provide alternatives where penetrating the ground is unsuitable.

Our temporary fencing installation guide covers the wider setup process, including positioning panels, feet, connections and additional support.

Temporary Fencing in Exposed & Windy Locations

Wind exposure is particularly important when choosing temporary fence supports. Site location, panel type, fence length, surrounding structures and ground conditions can all affect the forces acting on a temporary perimeter.

Adding fence covers, debris netting or other screening can significantly change how wind acts on an otherwise open mesh panel. Solid hoarding also behaves differently from mesh fencing and may require a different support strategy.

See our guide to temporary fencing in high winds before treating ballast or stabilisers as a standard one-size-fits-all arrangement.

Accessories for Secure Temporary Site Fencing

Where temporary fencing forms a site-security perimeter, the connections and supporting components can be as important as the panels themselves.

Anti-tamper clamps can make adjoining panels more difficult to separate without the appropriate tool, while anti-lift devices help prevent panels being removed vertically from their feet. Gates and free ends should also be considered because they can create different security and support requirements from a continuous straight run.

For the wider system, browse our temporary fencing and security fence panels or see our guide to temporary fencing security.

Inspecting Temporary Fencing Accessories

Temporary fencing components should remain correctly positioned and effective for as long as the perimeter is required. Clamps can loosen, feet can move, ballast can be displaced and braces may be affected by site activity or changing ground conditions.

Checks are particularly useful following high winds, impact, alterations to the fence line or the addition of gates and screening.

Use our temporary fencing inspection checklist to check panels, feet, clamps, braces, ballast, gates and other perimeter components. A printable PDF version is also available from the guide.
