How to install hoardings successfully

Hoardings are an essential tool for ensuring the safety of a construction site – but they must be installed correctly if they are to do the job. This blog will outline the steps involved in successful hoardings installation.

Conduct a survey

No two construction sites are exactly the same, so you cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach to installation. The first step in getting it right is to carry out a survey of the site. This will involve measuring it and working out access points for vehicles and pedestrians. You need to be sure that the hoardings are the correct size, but also that authorised personnel are able to get in and out of the site without difficulty.

Design and production

The information that is gleaned from the site survey will be used in the design and production of the hoardings. That will include incorporating any text or imagery that you wish to have. Remember: hoardings are a safety feature, but they can also promote your company. They are usually made out of either metal or wood, to ensure that they will be durable and weather resistant.

Installation

The final stage in the process is the installation of your hoardings. There are two options: in or above ground – and which you pick should be determined by how long they will be in place. If the construction project is expected to be a lengthy one, in ground hoardings will be the more secure choice. For shorter projects, above ground will be quicker.
