Every construction project has different security and access requirements, which means a single temporary hoarding system isn’t always the most practical solution.
For a recent project in Penicuik, Scotland, Fast Fence worked alongside Morrison Construction to supply a bespoke combination of in-ground GreenSteel™ hoarding and portable Blocklocker GreenSteel™ hoarding, creating a secure site perimeter that could adapt to the needs of the development.
By combining permanent and temporary hoarding systems, the project benefited from increased flexibility, improved site security and a professional appearance throughout the construction programme.
A Tailored Steel Hoarding Solution
Rather than relying on a single type of temporary hoarding, this project required a combination of systems to suit different areas of the site.
Fast Fence supplied:
- 37.4 metres of 2.4m In-Ground GreenSteel™ Hoarding
- 50.6 metres of 2.4m Portable Blocklocker GreenSteel™ Hoarding
- 26.4 metres of 2.4m Portable Blocklocker 900mm GreenSteel™ Hoarding
This combination allowed Morrison Construction to create permanent, highly secure perimeter sections while maintaining the flexibility to relocate portable hoarding where site access and construction activities changed throughout the project.
The result was a durable, secure and professional site boundary that met the practical demands of a live construction environment.

Why Combine In-Ground and Portable Hoarding?
Many construction sites evolve as work progresses.
Access points move, compounds expand, deliveries change and working areas are regularly reconfigured. By combining in-ground and portable hoarding systems, contractors can benefit from the strengths of both solutions.
In-Ground GreenSteel™ Hoarding
Our in-ground steel hoarding system provides a permanent-style perimeter for projects requiring maximum strength and stability.
Key benefits include:
- Excellent perimeter security
- Strong, rigid installation
- Ideal for long-term construction projects
- Professional appearance
- Designed for demanding site environments
Portable Blocklocker GreenSteel™ Hoarding
Portable Blocklocker hoarding offers greater flexibility where layouts may need to change during the construction programme.
Benefits include:
- Quick installation and relocation
- No ground penetration required
- Ideal for compounds and changing work areas
- Strong and secure temporary perimeter
- Reusable across multiple projects
Together, these systems provide contractors with a practical solution that balances security with operational flexibility.
Sustainable Steel Hoarding for Modern Construction
Sustainability continues to be an important consideration for contractors across the UK construction industry.
All GreenSteel™ hoarding systems are designed to be reused across multiple projects, reducing waste and helping contractors minimise the environmental impact of temporary works.
Unlike single-use alternatives, GreenSteel™ panels are recovered, refurbished where required and redeployed on future installations, supporting a more circular approach to construction.
By choosing reusable steel hoarding, contractors can improve sustainability without compromising on quality, durability or site security.
Built to Protect Your Site
Temporary hoarding plays an important role throughout every construction project.
As well as protecting the site from unauthorised access, a professionally installed steel hoarding system helps:
- Improve health and safety
- Protect members of the public
- Secure plant, equipment and materials
- Create a professional first impression
- Clearly define working areas
- Support compliance with site security requirements
Whether installed around schools, commercial developments, residential projects or public sector sites, GreenSteel™ provides a robust perimeter solution built to withstand the demands of busy construction environments.
