Benefits of construction hoarding

Construction hoarding is essential to create a safe and secure environment, making it an industry standard for any site where substantial building work is being carried out. 

But securing boundaries and complying with health and safety requirements is only scratching the surface – invest in high-quality site hoarding and you could reap multiple benefits.

Want to know what they are? Allow our Go-Hoard specialists to elaborate…    

What is construction site hoarding?

In simple terms, construction hoarding is a type of temporary fencing or barrier used to separate a construction site from its surrounding environment.

Designed to keep the general public a safe distance from the development underway, construction hoarding clearly marks out boundaries and restricts unauthorised access.

Why use construction hoarding?

The obvious reason is because in most cases, you have to. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007  identifies the mandatory use of site hoardings for construction sites – but its use comes hand-in-hand with a host of other advantages. These include: 

·       Superior strength and durability

Hoarding can come in a variety of materials (most commonly steel or timber) but Go-Hoard construction hoarding is made from PVC.

Not only does this mean it’s impressively strong and hard-wearing but it also makes it super lightweight and easy to handle on site – ensuring that your construction hoarding can be installed with minimum time and fuss.

·       Enhanced security

Construction hoarding doesn’t just protect the public, it protects the team and equipment within its parameters too.

Acting as a clear visual deterrent, and making authorised access extremely difficult, construction hoarding creates a visual barrier. By doing so, it can not only help to keep your project under wraps, but it can also keep expensive tools out of sight to avoid tempting any would-be thieves.  

·       Public safety

Building sites are dangerous places and ensuring only those with permission to enter have access is essential for maintaining everyone’s safety.   

Construction hoarding not only prohibits entry, but it also protects the general public from any risk of falling debris or dust and prevents the goings on of the site from becoming a dangerous distraction to passers-by.

·       Professional site

Building sites are never going to look attractive – but they can look professional!

Hoarding not only keeps any ground-level mess and disruption hidden from view but with Go-Hoard construction hoarding you can also customise the colour of boards to minimise the visual impact of your site on its surroundings. Working in the countryside? Then how about a subtle shade of green? Based in the city centre? Then white or grey hoarding may tone best with the nearby buildings.

·       Free advertising

Construction hoarding doesn’t just smarten up appearances – it offers premium retail space for advertising too!

Whether you want to promote your project, services, or share information, the flat face of construction hoarding provides the ideal space for branding and advertising.   

·       Tailored to your needs

Regardless of the size of your construction project, site hoarding can be adapted to your needs.

Restricted by the ground conditions or time? No problem. You can choose between on-ground and in-ground hoarding depending on the requirements of your site.

With different pedestrian and vehicle gate options you can tailor site access, and with options to rent as well as buy, you have complete flexibility to change your requirements for every project.

·       Environmentally responsible

100% recyclable, Go-Hoard hoarding generates zero waste to landfill – helping your construction project to meet its environmental commitments.   

Yet it goes further than this, site hoarding also contributes to reducing noise pollution, helping to contain dust, noise and debris within the site and minimising the environmental impact of construction works on surrounding residents and wildlife.
