Fastfence - Design & Specials
Crowd Loading
Some sites such as football stadia or music concert venues have the risk of crowds of people passing by and therefore the hoarding has to be designed to take the load of these crowds with appropriate foundations or kentledge requirement and bracing.
Again our engineers can design a system that will meet the crowd loading requirement for the site, most recently we have completed Old Trafford Football Ground which was designed to withstand the Old Trafford crowds at 3kN/m2.
Wind Loading BS6399
Sites with particularly high exposure to prevailing winds will require the hoarding to be specially engineered to ensure that it is secure and will not blow down.
Our engineers can calculate a wind speed for any given area of the UK and work out an appropriate foundation size or kentledge requirement on a project by project basis to give you peace of mind that hoarding is secure and will not pose any health and safety threats to site personnel or the public. This is of particular importance for coastal sites or sites at high altitudes and to date we have designed to withstand wind speeds in excess of 35m/s which is equivalent to 80mph.
Various Heights and Sizes
We can design and manufacture hoardings at various heights to meet local authority stipulations or simply to provide added security in areas of particular vulnerability. We have installed hoardings of heights up to 3.5m and gates of various widths up to 7.5m wide.

2.4 Portable
Our 2.4m high portable system is a unique product to Fastfence and was developed specifically for a site that required a 2.4m high hoarding but the client didn’t have the option to concrete posts in-ground as with traditional timber hoarding.
We now offer this product to all our customers and its typical application is when services or highway stipulations mean in-ground posts are impractical for example if the highway/pavement needs to be re-instated after the project has finished portable hoarding eliminates the cost of repair to the carriageway/footpath. It is also used on sites where the hoarding needs to be moved quickly/often and this can be done using a forklift when using our Kelly block system.
Flat Panel Hoarding
Prevents Graffiti.
The profiled sheeting used in our hoarding is advantageous in that it deters fly postering and graffiti however on projects where you need to impose advertising graphics we can manufacture flat panel hoardings giving a smooth surface to accommodate this. Another example is where we installed our Stormbeater in-ground system clad with ply with graphics already printed.
