Importation of substandard and dangerous momentary fencing products has flooded the market. While the price of these Temporary fencing panels is low, the quality of the manufacturing process is not, and this can wind up costing you much more than you think. The allure of low-cost, unsafe imports is frequently too strong for the unwary buyer. Here’s why buyers should be cautious now more than ever:
- Panels from other countries
Imported panels are frequently made of thin gauge material that will only last a few months before needing to be replaced at your expense. The cause for this is the thin pipe walls, which flex at the least provocation. (During the construction of a home, the temporary fence will be torn down and re-erected multiple times to enable materials and machines into the site; this is when damage occurs.)
- Weld quality is poor
The weld quality in the construction process is generally poor, according to the instances I’ve observed. We’ve done tests and found that a single hammer stroke can cause the weld to fail.
- Steel of lower quality
Many imported temporary fence panels are low-quality steel (often with impurities like glass and concrete) painted with silver paint, despite being labeled as galvanized steel. It gives the panels the appearance of galvanized metal; however, the panels will rust after the paint has worn off.
- Light weight panels
While you might think that having a lightweight temporary fence is a good thing, in the construction industry, lightweight equals low quality. A gust of wind will cause a lightweight panel to topple. The result is a panel that needs to be replaced at the very least. A public liability case was filed when it toppled, causing damage to people and property.
