Temporary fence is priced per foot per month, with a separate charge to install and remove it. The spread between bidders can be wide, which is why you compare the same line. This page uses one published public bid to show the spread, with the source, and tells you what to ask so your quote is comparable.
One public bid
In 2026 the Port of Los Angeles asked for bids on temporary fencing and barricades. The bid form priced construction fence panels, 6 feet high, per foot per month.1
| Line in the bid | Prices as printed on the bid recap | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Construction fencing rental, 6 foot panels | $1.25, $1.38, $2.50, $2.80, $3.49, $4.50 and $4.90 (seven of the eight entries on the recap) | per foot, per month |
| Install or remove, weekday job (one bidder) | $200.00 | per job |
| Install or remove, Saturday job (one bidder) | $300.00 | per job |
The recap also shows an entry of $0.22 for the same line, which we left out of the range because it looks like a data entry error. Some figures on the recap are marked corrected by the bidder. These are public contract and bid prices, not Detritus prices. We do not publish our customer prices, and your price will depend on your site, dates and local providers.
Give us the linear feet, the gates and how long it stays. We source fence from local providers and keep install, rental and removal on one agreement.
Making quotes comparable
A price per foot only works if the lines around it match.
Panels, stands, clamps and bracing can be inside the price per foot or priced separately. Ask what is included, and whether gates are extra.
In this bid install and removal were priced per job, not per foot. Ask for the install price for your job size and day.
The bid form set a maximum rental period. Ask what happens to the monthly price if the job runs long.
Privacy screens, sandbags and barricades appear as their own lines on the bid. Ask about any that your site needs.
