Chain link temporary fence panels run $30 to $75 a day for standard sections depending on quantity and how long you need the site secured. Evanston Porta Pros sets these panels for construction perimeters, demolition sites and event crowd control, usually alongside temporary fence rental packages that include gates and bracing.
A chain link temporary fence panel is a galvanized steel frame with woven mesh, standing free on rubber feet or concrete blocks, no digging required. The industry standard panel size is 6 x 10 feet, which is why contractors ask for it by that exact dimension when they call. These are sometimes called cyclone chain link temporary fence panels, a holdover name from the diamond weave pattern, and Evanston Porta Pros stocks both styles for jobs across Evanston. Panels clip together with couplers, so a crew can build a straight run or wrap a corner without extra hardware. If your site also needs debris control, pair the fence line with a roll-off dumpster rental placed inside the perimeter, and check what cannot go in a dumpster before loading. Most Evanston job sites combine fencing with a construction dumpster rental and at least one porta john rental to keep the whole footprint contained behind one line of mesh.
Temporary chain link fence rental prices land at $30 to $75 per day per panel, based on measured pricing across current jobs. Longer projects usually negotiate a better rate per panel once volume goes up, so a 200-foot perimeter costs less per foot than a 20-foot spot barrier. Delivery is billed separately and typically falls between $100 and $500 depending on distance and crew size needed to unload. Compare that against a temporary fence cost breakdown before committing to a length, since panel count changes fast once gates and corners get added.

If your event or build also needs restrooms, a standard porta potty rental or an ADA accessible porta potty can go inside the fenced zone on the same delivery run, and an event restroom rental package often bundles both.
Placement in the public right of way needs confirming with the City of Evanston before panels go up along a sidewalk or street edge. Fencing set entirely on private property, inside a lot line, generally does not carry the same review, but every site is different and Evanston Porta Pros checks placement before delivery. For projects tied to construction, OSHA 1926.202 requires barricades to conform to ANSI D6.1, which matters if the fence line doubles as fall protection or traffic control near excavation. Pair your fence rental question with a look at porta potty permit requirements, since the two often get reviewed by the same office. If your project sits near Wilmette, about 4.1 miles northwest of Evanston, or Niles, roughly 8.0 miles west, permit rules shift at the town line, so confirm locally rather than assuming Evanston rules travel with you.
Yes. Weddings, festivals and races all use the same 6 x 10 panels for crowd lines, backstage separation and vendor perimeters. A festival restroom rental or marathon and race restrooms setup often runs fence panels alongside restroom units to route foot traffic one direction. Golf tournaments use shorter fence runs near tee boxes, which pairs naturally with golf tournament restrooms staged nearby. For weddings, a wedding restroom rental with a discreet fence line around the unit keeps the setup out of guest photos.
Measure the total perimeter in feet and divide by 10, since each standard panel spans that distance. A quarter-acre lot runs roughly 400 to 500 feet of perimeter, so expect 40 to 50 panels plus gate sections. Evanston Porta Pros can walk the site and confirm the count before delivery.
Gate panels are ordered separately from standard mesh panels and swing on the same coupler system. Most sites need at least one vehicle gate and one pedestrian gate. Ask for gate count when requesting your temporary fence rental quote so pricing reflects the full run, not just straight panels.
Yes. Panels stand on weighted feet or concrete block bases, no post holes needed. This is why they work on parking lots, sidewalks and paved event grounds across Evanston without damaging the surface underneath.
Daily rates are the standard quoted band, though longer construction jobs typically negotiate weekly or monthly terms directly with Evanston Porta Pros. Ask about extended-term pricing if your project runs past a few weeks, since day rates compound fast on long jobs.
