Temporary Construction Fencing Jerome ID | Site Security & Panels

Last updated: 2026-08-16

Jerome Idaho Fence Pros is a fence company serving Jerome and the Magic Valley, and temporary construction fencing is one of the services we build most. This page covers what the work involves here specifically — the ground, the climate, the code, and what it costs — rather than what it involves in general.

What we do on the first visit

The first visit is a measure, not a sales call. We walk the fence line with you, check the grade and how the ground drains, and test how deep the basalt sits — Jerome County is Snake River Plain lava rock capped with three to ten feet of windblown loess, and which of those your posts land in changes the job. We confirm where the property line actually runs, count the gates, and note whether equipment can reach the line. Then you get a written per-foot price with removal and gates as separate lines.

If we think repair is the better spend than replacement, or a different material suits your situation better, we say so on that visit — including when it means the smaller job for us.

What's included

Site walk covering access points, gate positions, and equipment routes
811 Digline utility locate where posts are driven rather than panel-based
Panel fence on stable bases, or driven-post chain link for longer durations
Wind bracing sized for the exposure — panel fence blows over here otherwise
Gate openings sized for your equipment and delivery vehicles
Privacy or dust screening added where required
Relocation between phases as the site progresses
Teardown and removal at the end of the job

What this costs in Jerome

Temporary Construction Fencing runs $2–$6 per linear foot installed in this area. Regional ranges for temporary panel fence supply and install; duration, wind bracing, and screening drive the spread. The things that move a job up its range are gate count, how much old fence has to come out, whether we can get equipment to the line, slope, and how shallow the rock is. If you want a number before you call, the fence cost calculator will get you close.

When it needs doing

Panel fence blown over on an exposed site
Gate openings too narrow for equipment
Screening torn loose from fabric
Fence line in the way of the next phase

DIY, the cheapest bid, or the job done properly

	DIY weekend	Cheapest bid	Done properly
Post depth	Whatever the auger reached before hitting rock	Frost minimum, regardless of panel size	Sized to the panel’s wind area and your soil
Hitting basalt	Job stops; rental auger goes back	Post set shallow and concreted over	Rock auger or breaker; depth still met
Old footings	Left in the ground	Snapped at grade, line shifted over	Extracted, new posts in solid ground
Hardware	Whatever the box store stocked	Electroplated — rusts near irrigation	Hot-dip galvanized or stainless
811 locate	Often skipped	Sometimes skipped	Filed and cleared every time
If it fails	Your weekend, again	Chasing a phone number that stopped working	We come back and fix it

How it works

How temporary construction fencing runs

01
Site walk and quote
We walk the site, confirm access and gate needs, and quote by the foot and the month.
02
Install
Panels set and braced, or posts driven for longer-duration runs, with gates positioned for your traffic.
03
Adjust through phases
As the site changes we move sections and gates to match, rather than leaving you to work around a fixed line.
04
Remove
Full teardown and haul-off when the job wraps, site left clean.

Questions

Temporary Construction Fencing questions

Panel fence or driven post?

Duration and wind decide it. Free-standing panel fence is fast and moves easily, which suits short jobs and phased work — but in Magic Valley wind, panel fence on light bases goes over, and a run of fence lying across a sidewalk is a liability problem. For anything over a few months or on an exposed site, driven-post chain link is the better call.

How fast can you get a site fenced?

For panel fence, usually within a few days of the site walk depending on the length and what is on the yard. Driven-post installations take longer because they need the 811 locate cleared first — that is a mandatory 2–3 business day wait we cannot compress.

Can you add privacy or dust screening?

Yes. Windscreen fabric zip-tied to the fabric handles dust and sightlines, and it is often what a general contractor needs for a site near housing. Be aware it turns an open fence into a solid one from the wind's point of view, so screened runs need heavier bracing than bare fence.

Do you handle moving the fence as the job phases?

Yes, and it is worth planning at the site walk rather than calling it in later. Knowing where the fence will need to move at each phase lets us position gates and bracing so relocations are quick instead of a full re-install.

Do you charge for an estimate?

No. Estimates are free across Jerome and the Magic Valley, including the drive. We walk the line with you, check how deep the rock sits on your lot, and hand you a written per-foot price with removal and gates broken out as their own lines.
