Questions
Temporary fence panel rental FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a Temporary fence panel in Chicago?
$27.50 each for one event day, based on current Chicago-area market rates. Delivery and pickup (usually $150-$400 per order), setup, a damage waiver (about 10%) and sales tax are added for your venue, so a delivered order typically costs 35-60% more than the rental rates alone. Multi-day rentals are quoted on request.
Can you deliver a Temporary fence panel to my venue?
Yes. We arrange delivery, setup and pickup anywhere in Chicago & suburbs, including Evanston, Oak Park, Oak Brook, Schaumburg, Naperville and nearby towns. Tell us about stairs, elevators or load-in windows and we include them in the quote.
How far ahead should I reserve?
For May to October weekends, reserve 2-4 months ahead; tents, specialty chairs and dance floors go first. For other dates, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Your quote holds nothing until you approve it.
Do I need a permit for barricades on a Chicago street?
Street closures for block parties need a City of Chicago permit, which comes with its own barricades in many wards. Private property events do not need a permit for rope-and-post stanchions.
How many stanchions do I need?
One post every 6-8 feet of line, plus one at each end and each turn.
