Temporary Fencing, Reinvented: Why Pros Choose ZND Panels

When it comes to securing construction sites, managing crowds, or creating temporary boundaries, choosing the right type of fencing matters. While many companies default to temporary fencing made with chain link infill, there’s a better, more reliable option: ZND Temporary Fence Panels, available exclusively at Fenceweb.
In this blog, we’ll explain why ZND’s welded wire fencing panels outperform chain link-based systems in nearly every way—from strength and safety to maintenance and appearance. Whether you're a rental company, event organizer, or contractor, upgrading to ZND panels could save you time, money, and headaches.
1. Stronger by Design: Welded Wire vs. Chain Link
The most significant difference between ZND panels and standard chain link panels lies in how they’re constructed. ZND’s panels are made with welded wire mesh, securely fixed within a reinforced steel frame using SmartWeld technology. This process fuses each wire at every intersection, ensuring solid, immovable joints.
In contrast, chain link infill is woven and tied to the frame with metal ties or wires—making it more prone to sagging, loosening, and damage during transport or use. Welded wire panels keep their shape and strength, even under heavy use.
Key takeaway:
ZND panels offer greater structural integrity and durability, reducing the risk of damage and increasing panel lifespan.
2. Lower Maintenance, Longer Life
Rental companies and project managers know that fencing gets handled roughly—stacked, dragged, dropped, and reused again and again. Chain link fencing tends to bend or tear, especially when ties loosen or sections are crushed.
ZND panels, with their integrated mesh and sturdy frame, are far more resistant to wear and tear. Their design minimizes points of failure, leading to fewer repairs and less frequent replacements.
Over time, this means:
-
Lower maintenance costs
-
Less downtime
-
A better return on investment
3. Cleaner Look for Events and Sites
Aesthetics matter—especially at events or public-facing projects. Chain link fencing often looks industrial and can appear uneven when not installed perfectly. It may also sag over time, leading to a messy, unprofessional look.
ZND fencing has a uniform, sleek design with clean mesh lines and welded frames that stand tall and straight. It’s perfect for temporary events like festivals, parades, and sporting events where appearance is part of the brand experience.

4. Faster Setup and Safer Handling
Time is money, especially on active job sites. ZND panels are lighter and easier to handle compared to many chain link systems. The rigid welded mesh keeps the panels stable during installation, making them easier to maneuver, align, and connect.
Fewer sharp wire ends also make them safer for workers and the public. Chain link panels, especially when damaged, can have exposed edges or broken ties that pose injury risks.
The result:
Faster setup, safer use, and less labor on-site.

7. Better for Wind and Weather Conditions
Chain link fencing is known to act like a sail when wind picks up—especially when screening or signage is added. Because the mesh is looser and frames are lighter, chain link panels can topple or twist in heavy winds.
ZND’s welded mesh offers less flex and better wind resistance, especially when combined with secure footing or ballast blocks. Their stronger frames also withstand the elements better—rain, snow, heat—without rusting or warping prematurely.
8. Smarter Storage and Transport
Thanks to uniform sizing and sturdy frames, ZND panels stack more efficiently and transport more safely. Chain link panels often tangle, bend, or snag during transport, which increases the risk of damage.
With ZND panels, loading and unloading is more predictable, saving time for your team and reducing costly damage in transit.
9. Perfect for Rental Fleets
If you're in the temporary fence rental business, ZND panels are the smarter long-term investment. Their low maintenance, long lifespan, and durable design make them ideal for repeat use.
Plus, clients appreciate clean-looking, easy-to-install panels that don’t require constant attention or replacement. It’s a win for both your business and your customers.
