Construction windscreen and printed fence screen
Privacy and dust across the whole run, plain or printed with your own mark.
Sidewalk edge, screenedWindscreen is fabric fitted across a fence run. It holds dust in, keeps eyes out, and on a street facing site it changes what the public sees from a job site into a finished edge. We treat it as a sale rather than a rental, plain or custom printed, and it fits both panel runs and post driven chain link.
Construction windscreen and printed fence screen: the specification
What it is, what it is for, and the job it is the wrong answer to.
| Terms | Sold rather than rented |
|---|---|
| Fits | Panels and stands, and post driven chain link |
| Plain | Standard fabric, fitted and tensioned across the run |
| Printed | Custom graphics printed to your artwork |
| Does | Dust control, privacy, a clean street edge |
| Also does | Turns a long perimeter into signage |
| Best for | Street facing sites, demolition, events, anything with sponsors |
| Worth knowing | Wind load goes up with screen fitted, so the fence under it has to be right |
Lot control with screenWhere this is the right call
Street facing construction
Downtown work sits against a sidewalk. Screen turns an open site into a finished looking edge for the length of the job.
Demolition and dust
Dust is the complaint that reaches the client. A screened perimeter holds a lot of it inside the line.
Sponsored events
Printed screen puts your logo, or a sponsor's, along the whole run. It is the cheapest large format signage on most event sites.
Questions on construction windscreen and printed fence screen
What buyers ask before they order this one, including the jobs it is the wrong answer to.
Is windscreen rented or sold?
Sold, not rented. It is fitted to the fence run for the life of the job and it stays yours afterwards, which is different from how the fence itself is priced.
Can you print our logo on it?
Yes. Custom printed windscreen carries your own mark, a sponsor, or a development rendering, the length of the run. On a large site it is usually the cheapest large format signage on the job by a wide margin.
What does it actually do?
Two things. It blocks the view into the site, which matters on a loss site, a demolition or a development that does not want an audience. And it holds dust, which is often the reason a neighbor or a municipality asked for it in the first place.
Does it affect the fence itself?
Yes, and anyone who says otherwise has not stood next to one in March. Screen turns a fence into a sail, so a screened run needs more weight on the stands or a driven fence behind it. We account for that when we price it.
Can it go on a fence you did not install?
Ask us. Windscreen is sold rather than rented so there is no rental tie, but the fit depends on what is already standing, and we would rather look at it than guess on the phone.
Do you sell plain screen as well as printed?
Yes. Plain screen is the common order and it does the privacy and dust job on its own. Printing is the upgrade, and it only makes sense when somebody is going to be looking at the run.
Price it yourself
If you would rather not talk yet, draw the fence on a map and the tool works out the run. Estimators and preconstruction managers use it the same way, as a reference number for a bid.
