Street-facing construction
Downtown work sits against a sidewalk. Screen turns an open site into a finished-looking edge for the length of the job.
Fence types
Construction windscreen and printed fence screen.
Privacy and dust across the whole run, plain or printed with your own mark.
Windscreen is fabric fitted across a fence run.
It holds dust in, keeps eyes out, and on a street-facing site it changes what the public sees from a job site into a finished edge. We treat it as a sale rather than a rental, plain or custom printed, and it fits both panel runs and post-driven chain link.

Where it fits
Where windscreen is the right call.
Demolition and dust
Dust is the complaint that reaches the client. A screened perimeter holds a lot of it inside the line.
Sponsored events
Printed screen puts your logo, or a sponsor's, along the whole run. It's the cheapest large-format signage on most event sites.
Questions
Questions on windscreen.
What buyers ask before they order this one, including the jobs it's the wrong answer to.
Is windscreen rented or sold?
Sold, not rented. It's fitted to the fence run for the life of the job and it stays yours afterwards, which is different from how the fence itself is priced.
Can you print our logo on it?
Yes. Custom printed windscreen carries your own mark, a sponsor, or a development rendering, the length of the run. On a large site it's usually the cheapest large-format signage on the job by a wide margin.
What does it actually do?
Two things. It blocks the view into the site, which matters on a loss site, a demolition or a development that doesn't want an audience. And it holds dust, which is often the reason a neighbor or a municipality asked for it in the first place.
Does it affect the fence itself?
Yes, and anyone who says otherwise hasn't stood next to one in March. Screen turns a fence into a sail, so a screened run needs more weight on the stands or a driven fence behind it. We account for that when we price it.
Can it go on a fence you didn't install?
Ask us. Windscreen is sold rather than rented, so there is no rental tie, but the fit depends on what is already standing, and we would rather look at it than guess on the phone.
Do you sell plain screen as well as printed?
Yes. Plain screen is the common order and it does the privacy and dust job on its own. Printing is the upgrade, and it only makes sense when somebody is going to be looking at the run.
