Meeting Insurance Liability Requirements At Events
Outdoor events can be found everywhere during the Spring, Summer, and even into the Fall. Circuses, carnivals, festivals, rodeos, concerts, sporting events, fireworks displays, fairs, and fleas markets, bring people out in droves. Organizing these types of events requires a lot of work, a lot of personnel, and a lot of attention to safety and liability issues. Insurance companies require precautions and measures to keep people safe and lower the risk of liability claims before they will underwrite events. One way to meet some of those liability requirements is with a temporary fence.
Experienced fencing companies can help organizers decide which type of fencing to use and what accessories will provide the most safety for the situation. Outdoor events are usually best suited with chain link fencing. It is cost-effective, durable, and versatile. Chain link fencing can be free standing or put in place with posts drilled into the ground. Either type can be easily installed on any surface.

Posted fencing is usually available in six and eight foot heights, and can be adapted to all types of gates. It is affordable security and can help eliminate theft, vandalism, and dumping when the event is closed for the night. Barbed wire, tension wire, and windscreens can be added for extra security and privacy. This works best for events that will be set up for longer periods of time. A week long festival, for example, would benefit from the stability and security of posted chain link fences.
Chain link panels with stands are better for one-day events, like a concert in the park, or a fireworks display. Panels are available in four, six, and eight foot heights and are free standing. No drilling is required, and they can be easily moved to suit the needs. They can be moved to block off a parking lot, for example, once it is filled. Panels are very sturdy, due to horizontal and vertical cross bars. Panels do meet most liability requirements but are not suited for overnight security. Municipalities, organizations, and event coordinators can provide safety and security for people attending outside events without spending a lot of money.
