Before you buy
Why hire?
What owning temporary fencing really costs, and what hiring takes off your hands.
Hire or buy
Why hire,
not buy?
Buying a fence solves your problem once. Then it becomes your problem.
When you hire from Mainway Hire Ltd., you're not renting steel, you're buying a secured perimeter for exactly as long as you need it, and its clean disappearance the moment you don't. We deliver it, erect it properly, and when the job's done we take it down, load it up and take it away. You make one call. The problem shows up, and then it's gone.
On paper, buying 50 panels can look cheaper than hiring them. But the sticker price is the smallest part of owning temporary fencing, and it hides everything that comes after:
- You still have to put it up. Erecting 50 panels safely takes labour, time and know-how. Get it wrong and a fence blows over, now it's your liability, on your site.
- You have to store it. Fifty panels and fifty feet is a serious volume of steel and concrete sitting in your yard, in the way, from the day the job ends.
- It rots while it does nothing. An owned fence that isn't on a job is a depreciating asset, rusting, bending, cracking, losing value while earning you nothing.
- And then you have to get rid of it. This is the part nobody thinks about. When the fence is no longer fit for purpose, you're left holding 50 heavy panels with nowhere to go, and you pay again to dispose of the thing you paid to own.
When you hire, none of that is yours. We handle delivery, installation, and most importantly removal. When your site is done, it's off the ground, on the truck, and gone. No storage. No idle steel. No disposal. No leftovers.
You pay for the outcome, not the object: a secure site for your exact dates, put up safely, and cleared away cleanly the moment you're finished.
