Temporary Fencing Accessories
HERMEQ temporary fencing accessories adapt mesh panel fencing and solid steel construction fence panels to the conditions on each jobsite. The range covers fence feet and stands, clamps that join the panels, stabilizers and ballast that raise wind resistance, ground anchors and locking systems that hold a line without bulk, anti-lift and anti-tamper hardware for security, and mesh extensions that add height to solid panels. If you are unsure which accessory fits your panels, contact sales@hermeq-usa.com.
Temporary fence feet, clamps, braces and security hardware
Fence feet and stands
The base carries the panel uprights and sets the footprint of the whole line. Rubber block fence feet are the standard base for mesh and solid steel panels. High-visibility anti-trip fence feet carry loose-leg mesh fencing and barriers beside walkways, where a low, bright base is easy to see and step around. Tube stands are galvanized steel bases whose uprights take two panels each, and the water-filled Slot Block fence base holds a full anti-climb panel in a narrow water-filled barrier made for tight city frontages.
Clamps and couplers
Clamps join neighboring panels at the uprights so the line moves and resists load as one structure. Galvanized fence clamps with a bolt and nut are the everyday choice for mesh and solid panels. Heavy-duty fence couplers fasten with minimal tools for layouts that change as the work moves, and scaffold tube clamps fasten panels to scaffold posts where a fence runs along or ties into scaffolding.
Stabilizers and brace systems
A stabilizer is an angled brace that bolts to the panel and holds it upright against side loads, with ballast on a tray at its foot. Fence stabilizers with block trays brace mesh panels, solid panels and acoustic barriers, and take rubber feet, slabs or concrete blocks as ballast. The stabilizer with swivel base plate adapts to uneven ground and has holes for pinning, and separate block trays bolt to existing stabilizers. Solid panels also have complete ballast kits with an anti-trip foot or anti-lift bracket built in. The Safe Base wind resistance system and the single-tray ballast system suit most runs, and the dual-tray ballast system is for long, high or exposed runs.
Ballast weights and blocks
Ballast adds dead weight where the base alone will not hold the line. Z-Block fence leg weights and 30 lb temporary fence weights give each stand a fixed, known load. Concrete ballast blocks are compact weights sized to sit in trays and on base plates without spillage. Fillable step ballast blocks in high-visibility plastic are filled on site, and the water-filled Rota Block is a freestanding ballast unit that links in pairs for heavier support on mesh or solid panels.
Ground pins and locking systems
Anchors hold the fence to the ground in place of weight or alongside it. Ground pins are solid steel pins driven through stabilizer base plates into soil, grass or uneven ground, and ribbed rebar fencing pins have a hooked top for mesh netting and ribs that grip in soft or wet ground. The mesh fence locking system clamps the foot of a mesh panel to the ground with a bracket and locking strap, the stabilized mesh fence locking system adds a brace for wind exposure, and the V-mesh fence locking system brings bracket and brace together for rigid V-mesh panels.
Anti-lift and anti-tamper hardware
Security hardware makes a fence line slow to dismantle. Anti-lift brackets stop panels being lifted out of rubber block feet, fit with standard clamps, and go on every third panel in high-risk zones and at every vulnerable access point. Step block struts slip under a rubber foot and latch onto the clamp, so removing a panel means taking several parts apart. Anti-tamper fence clamps have a nut that turns only with the dedicated anti-tamper clamp wrench, so the wrench belongs on the same order as the clamps.
Height extensions, ground skirts and infills for solid panels
Add-ons close the gaps that solid steel walls leave. Mesh height extensions slot into the top of solid steel construction fence panels to raise the wall against climbing and items passed over, and the open mesh lets wind through. Ground skirts close the gap under the panels against debris and access from below, and panel infills close the gaps between neighboring panels for a continuous face.
Fence weights and concrete ballast or ground pins
Ballast suits lines that move often or surfaces that must stay intact, while ground fixing suits lines that stay in one place or have no room for weight. Feet, trays and blocks sit on the surface with nothing drilled or driven, so they are the choice on finished paving, over areas where digging is not permitted, and on lines that are moved as the work progresses. Ballast takes space, because stabilizer trays extend behind the panels and every block has to be delivered, placed and recovered.
Pins drive into soil and grass, and the locking systems fix with ground screws in soil, screws in concrete and resin anchors in asphalt, with the fixing chosen to suit each surface. The bracket sits low at the panel foot, which keeps walkways clear of trip hazards, and its narrow footprint fits tight frontages where trays would block a sidewalk.
The two methods combine well. A stabilizer with a swivel base plate can be pinned in soft ground and still carry ballast on its tray, and a locking system with a stabilizing brace can hold the exposed corners of a line that is otherwise held by feet alone. Before any pin or screw goes in, buried utilities along the line need to be located.
Temporary fencing accessories for sites, events and roads
Construction site perimeters
Perimeter fencing on a construction site stands for months, faces the public on one side and protects heavy equipment and materials on the other, so security and wind resistance decide the set. Solid steel walls on long-term perimeters take stabilizers and concrete ballast from the day they go up, and anti-tamper clamps belong on runs that face the street. Gate openings leave free panel ends, so the panels on each side of vehicle and pedestrian gates need their own bracing.
Events and public walkways
At events the fence meets crowds, so trip hazards and crowd pressure matter more than long-term security. Bases need to be low and easy to see at entrances and along queue lanes, and the line needs bracing where people gather and lean on the panels. Event fencing goes up and comes down within days, so bases and weights that stack and load quickly save more time than heavier fixings.
Roadside and utility work
Fencing beside live traffic takes gusts from passing trucks as well as wind, so anti-lift brackets and stabilizers belong along every run exposed to the road. These lines often stay up overnight on a highway shoulder or around a utility excavation, where visibility after dark is the other requirement and lights and reflective strips go on the panels facing traffic.
Matching temporary fence bases and clamps to panels
Panel system
The base has to match the panel frame before anything else is chosen. Panels whose uprights drop into tube stands take weights made for those stands: the Z-Block fits a standard tube stand, and the 30 lb fence weight is made for 18 x 36 in stands. Anti-climb mesh and solid steel panels stand in rubber block feet with six post locations, and those feet work with stabilizers and block trays when the line needs bracing. Mixing systems on one line leaves joints that neither base fits, so the base, clamps and bracing for temporary mesh fence panels are best ordered with the panels as one set.
Mesh or solid panels
Solid steel panels catch far more wind than open mesh, so the panel type sets the ballast class. Mesh lines usually stand on feet and clamps, with leg weights or light blocks added where the line is exposed, while solid walls need stabilizers with concrete ballast on their trays. The range runs from 25 lb leg weights to 1,653 lb concrete ballast blocks, and the heaviest classes, including the counterweight blocks, anchor solid walls and signs in wind-sensitive locations and on tight urban sites with no room for long trays.
Run length and exposure
Feet and clamps alone hold a line in calm, sheltered conditions. Stabilizers are needed when a run goes over 160 ft without a break, when the public or pedestrians pass alongside the fence, when the line stands on exposed or elevated ground, or when high wind, rain or snow is forecast.
Handling and storage
Accessories are handled at every move, so weight per piece and stacking matter most on lines that change often. Rubber block feet are a one-person lift with forklift slots, fence weights and fillable step blocks stack, and the Rota Block stacks when empty. Fence panel storage racks keep mesh panels, solid panels and fence feet together between jobs, load by forklift, and in some versions break down flat when empty.
Temporary fence lights, reflectors and paint
Supporting accessories keep a fence line visible after dark and in good condition between jobs.
Fence and wall lights
Battery lights mark a fence line at night without wiring. Flashing fence lights are amber units with a daylight sensor that mount on mesh panels, battery-powered fence wall lights fix to solid walls, fencing or scaffold and switch on at dusk, and bulkhead lights run in flashing or steady mode with tamper-resistant fixings.
Reflective strips
Reflective fence strips fix along the panels and show the line in vehicle headlights at roadside runs and site entrances.
Touch-up paint
Touch-up spray paint restores chipped powder coat on steel panels, barriers and gates after transport or weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
Freestanding panel fencing has no separate posts to space, because neighboring panels share a foot or stand at each joint and the panel width sets the spacing. What needs planning is where the stabilizers go, at intervals along exposed runs and at corners, gate ends and line ends.
Every joint between two panels takes at least one clamp, and lines exposed to wind or working close to heavy equipment take more than one per joint, spaced along the uprights. Extra clamps stiffen the joint and keep the panels aligned.
Most temporary fence panels use round tube frames, and clamps, feet and stands are made around that format. The heavy-duty fence coupler is made to fit most standard panels, and the rubber block foot takes many fencing systems as well as HERMEQ mesh and solid panels. For a mixed fleet, compare the upright diameter and spacing of your panels with the post locations of the foot or stand, and the frame size with the clamp, before ordering.
Sandbags fill on site and add weight quickly, and on a sheltered, short-term line they hold stands in place. A bag weighs only what it is filled with, so the load on each stand depends on the crew filling it, while molded fence weights put the same load on every stand.
Water fill suits blocks that will be emptied, moved and refilled, since an empty block is light enough to carry and stack. Concrete fill suits long-term lines and roughly doubles the weight of the fillable step block. A concrete-filled block keeps that weight permanently, so it belongs in positions that will not change.
The large concrete blocks have a lifting anchor cast in, so they are placed with a lifting clutch that matches the anchor, by crane, forklift or truck-mounted loader. Ordering the lifting clutch with the blocks avoids delays at offloading.
