The Essential Guide to Temporary Fencing for Music Concerts

Music festivals and concerts bring massive crowds, making safety, crowd control, and security top priorities. One of the most effective ways to manage large events is with high-quality temporary fencing. At RHC Site Services, we provide durable, versatile, and secure fencing solutions tailored for concerts of all sizes.

Why Is Temporary Fencing Crucial for Music Concerts?

1. Crowd Control & Safety

Tens of thousands of fans need clear pathways, designated zones, and secure perimeters. Temporary fencing helps prevent overcrowding, ensures orderly entry/exit, and protects attendees from hazardous areas.

2. Enhanced Security

Fencing acts as a physical barrier against unauthorized access, reducing risks like gate-crashing, theft, or stage invasions. Pairing fencing with security personnel maximizes protection.

3. VIP & Restricted Area Protection

Concerts often have backstage zones, VIP sections, and equipment storage areas that require restricted access. Heavy-duty fencing keeps these areas secure.

4. Compliance with Safety Regulations

Many venues and local authorities require certified crowd barriers for large events. Our event fencing solutions meet industry safety standards.

Types of Temporary Fencing for Concerts

1. Standard Metal Barricades

• Ideal for general admission areas and crowd queues.

• Durable, interlocking panels for easy setup.

2. Anti-Climb Fencing

• Tall, smooth panels to deter climbing.

• Perfect for stage barriers and VIP sections.

3. Pedestrian Barriers

• Lightweight yet sturdy for guiding foot traffic.

• Used near food stalls, restrooms, and exits.

4. Bike Rack Barriers

• Low-profile fencing for crowd flow management.

• Often used in merchandise lines and entry points.

5. Heavy-Duty Crowd Control Barriers

• Reinforced steel barriers for front-of-stage security.

• Used in high-energy concerts to prevent surges.

How Much Fencing Do You Need for a Concert?

A general rule is 50–100 linear feet per 1,000 attendees, depending on layout complexity. For a 20,000-person festival, you may need 1,000–2,000 feet of fencing.
