In a fast-developing country like the United Arab Emirates, the demand for flexible and secure temporary fencing solutions is growing across sectors. Whether it’s a high-profile festival in Dubai, a commercial event in Abu Dhabi, or a construction site in Sharjah, temporary fencing is essential for crowd control, site safety, and perimeter management.
At Al Miqat Hardware, we supply a wide range of temporary fencing panels, wire mesh fencing, galvanized steel barriers, PVC-coated enclosures, and fencing accessories across the UAE. This blog explores the applications, benefits, types, and best practices of temporary fencing for events, construction zones, and festivals, while offering insights on choosing the right solution for your needs.
What Is Temporary Fencing?
Temporary fencing refers to portable, freestanding fencing systems that are installed and removed quickly without permanent foundations. These are ideal for short-term use where temporary barriers are required for safety, security, crowd management, or access control.
Temporary fences are typically made from:
- Galvanized wire mesh
- PVC-coated fencing panels
- Chain link fencing with freestanding bases
- Perforated or solid metal sheets for privacy zones

Set up fencing within hours — ideal for last-minute site protection or event setup.
- Flexibility in Use
Reusable and easily relocatable between job sites or event locations.
- Durable in Harsh UAE Climate
Available in galvanized and PVC-coated options to withstand sandstorms, UV exposure, and heat.
