Chain-link fence accessories transform a basic perimeter into a complete site management solution. From improving access control to increasing stability and adding privacy, the right accessories should be selected based on the daily demands of your project and jobsite conditions.
Fence Clamps
SONCO fence clamps are made from heavy duty galvanized steel for repeated use and long term outdoor installations.
By connecting adjacent fence panels, they create a stronger, more stable fence line that is less prone to movement from wind or impact. They also make the perimeter harder to breach by preventing individual panels from being easily separated.
For added security, always install the clamp with the nut facing the inside of the perimeter.
Temporary Fence Gates
Temporary fence gates create controlled access points without requiring crews to repeatedly remove or drag fence panels throughout the day, helping reduce panel damage and maintain a more secure perimeter.
SONCO offers standalone pedestrian gates, Versa panels with integrated gates, and gate wheel kits that convert fence panels into large swing gates for vehicle access.
All options are designed to integrate with standard fence panels for quick installation and repeated use.
Fence Bases and Braces
The right fence base system plays a major role in the stability of any temp fence installation. SONCO offers metal tube stands for standard setups, Anchor Weights for additional ballast, and Anchor Blocks that combine the functions of a stand and weight into a single product.
For projects exposed to high winds or extended use, fence braces add another point of contact with the ground, reinforcing corners, gates, and long fence runs for increased stability.
Acoustic Fence Barriers
Acoustic fence barriers help reduce the amount of construction noise that travels beyond your perimeter. They attach directly to standard temporary fence panels or scaffolding and are manufactured from noise-absorbent composite.
In addition to surrounding the perimeter, they can also be used to create temporary enclosures around generators, compressors, jackhammers, and other loud construction equipment.
Chain-Link Fence Accessories for Privacy, Branding, and Safety
Beyond hardware components, other chain-link fence accessories can improve privacy, communication, and the overall appearance of your perimeter. Popular options include:
Privacy Screens
Reduce visibility into the jobsite while allowing airflow.
Custom Fence Screens
Display company logos, sponsor branding, or project messaging.
Fence Signs
Attach directly to fence panels to communicate safety information, site rules, or directional guidance.
