Panel run = 200.0 − 2 × 7.0 gates = 186.0 m; panels = ⌈run ÷ 3.5⌉ = 54
Feet and clamps: one per panel joint on a closed loop, plus gate ends
Stays every 5 panels = 11

Frequently Asked Questions
How many temporary fence panels do I need?
Divide the fence length (less gate openings) by the panel width, usually 3.5 m (about 10–11.5 ft), and round up. A closed loop needs one foot and one clamp per panel, plus gate ends.
How many stays do temporary fences need?
Often one every 4–6 panels, and more at corners, gates and anywhere sheeting or banners add wind load.
When is a solid hoarding needed?
Next to public roads and footpaths, for security, noise or dust, or where the local authority requires it, often with a licence and a design check for wind.
