Heras fence covers

Heras fencing is a type of fencing made up of multiple mesh fence panels. They’re typically used at construction sites or events for safety, privacy and sometimes advertising. Heras fences are lightweight and relatively quick and easy to put in place. Heras fencing rarely needs planning permission and are often used instead of hoardings as they can be reused for multiple projects or events. As standard, Heras fence panels are 3.5 metres wide by 2 metres tall and weigh around 16kg. Check out our full guide on Heras fencing to discover uses, benefits, suppliers and more.

Why are they called Heras Fences?

Back in 1952, a company called Hewerk Industrie Eindhoven were the first to embrace standardisation and serial fence manufacturing. In 1958, they rebranded to “Heras” and have been associated with the fence panels ever since.

With an usual name like Heras, we’ve also known them to be called:

• Harris Fencing
• Aris Fencing
• Herris Fencing
• Haras Fencing

Heras fence covers, also known as Heras fence banners, are used for a range of practical and aesthetic reasons. Here are some key benefits:

1. Privacy and Security – Heras fence banners provide a visual barrier, preventing unauthorised viewing into a site. This is particularly important on construction sites or events where sensitive activities might be occurring.

2. Dust and Debris Control – On construction sites, Heras fencing covers help reduce the spread of dust and debris to surrounding areas. This improves safety and helps maintain a cleaner environment for workers and the local community.

3. Branding and Advertising – Fence covers offer valuable advertising space. Companies can display logos, slogans, and other promotional content, increasing brand visibility to passersby.

4. Improved Appearance – Heras fencing banners help cover up unattractive construction work, presenting a cleaner, more organised appearance to the public.

5. Noise Reduction – While not soundproof, fence covers can help dampen noise from construction sites or events, making them more tolerable for nearby residents. For greater noise reduction, check out our Heras Acoustic Barriers.

6. Guidance and Information – Heras fence covers can be used to display safety notices, directional signs, or event schedules, guiding workers or attendees effectively.

Whether you choose a heras fence cover or Heras fence banner depends on:

• how you want your Heras fence to look

Heras fence scrim

Heras fence scrim is similar to Heras fence covers. However, the print is just on one side of the fence panel. This is ideal for events or situations where you only have one side of the fence on display.
