Article copy
A request for 2.1m × 2.4m temporary fence panels does not yet define a complete construction-site fence. The panel is one part of a system that also includes compatible feet, panel clamps, braces or stays, gates, replacement components, packing and the installation conditions used to keep the fence stable.
MaiFa Fence publishes Australian-style welded temporary fence panels and related accessory options. The safest buying method is to convert those options into an itemised technical schedule. Every selected dimension, component and finish should appear in the quotation or approved drawing; the word “standard” should not replace a specification.
Short answer: specify the complete assembly, not only the 2100 × 2400 mm panel. Select the frame wall, wire, mesh and coating; name the exact foot, clamp and brace assembly; provide site and wind-related inputs; and require configuration-specific evidence where the project requires it.
1. Define the panel configuration
MaiFa’s current product pages publish the following common options. They are available configurations, not a promise that every value is included in every order. The buyer should select one value for each variable and confirm the finished drawing before production.
Item |
MaiFa published option |
RFQ instruction |
Panel size |
2.1 m high × 2.4 m wide, or customised |
Confirm nominal or finished size and tolerance. |
Frame tube |
32 mm outside diameter; 1.0, 1.2 or 2.0 mm wall options |
Select one wall thickness and measurement method. |
Wire |
3 mm or 4 mm |
Select diameter and tolerance. |
Mesh opening |
60 × 150 mm |
Confirm orientation and edge treatment. |
Published zinc options |
Wire: 200 g/m² or 28 μm; tube: 300 g/m² or 42 μm |
Select the required value and evidence method. |
2. Treat feet and clamps as specified parts
MaiFa lists plastic, iron-plate and rubber base types. Two concrete-filled plastic base options published on its Australian temporary fence pages are 600 × 220 × 150 mm at 25 kg and 560 × 245 × 130 mm at 32 kg. These are alternatives. A quotation should identify the selected base by dimensions, filled mass, shell material, colour, hole arrangement, part number or drawing, quantity and packing method.
The dedicated 2.1m × 2.4m product page describes 4 mm thick steel clamps for panel connections and stay attachment. The RFQ should also state the bolt and nut, finish, connection position, quantity per joint and spare quantity. Do not assume that clamps are included merely because the panel is shown assembled in a product image.
3. Specify bracing from the real site
A universal brace interval cannot be selected responsibly from panel size alone. Provide the project address, wind or exposure information, fence-line layout, corners and returns, ground condition, gate positions, public-side clearances, permitted anchors and any shade cloth, signage or printed mesh. Screening can change the wind action and should trigger a review of the stability arrangement.
MaiFa’s website shows more than one stay bill of materials: one page lists one brace with two bases and two clamps, while another describes a stay with three clamps and three plastic feet. The quotation must therefore identify the selected stay drawing and its exact bill of materials. Neither website arrangement should be treated as universal for every site.
- Show brace or stay locations on the proposed layout, especially at ends, corners, gates and changes in direction.
- State the counterweight, base or anchor method and any restrictions on ground penetration.
- Define inspection after installation, after alteration and after severe weather.
- Confirm whether privacy mesh, signage or advertising is permitted in the assessed arrangement.
4. State the required Australian Standard and evidence
Some MaiFa product pages still refer to AS 4687-2007. Standards Australia marks that edition as superseded. The current series includes AS 4687.1:2022 for general requirements and AS 4687.2:2022 for temporary fencing and temporary pedestrian barriers. The buyer, principal contractor or local authority should state the edition and parts required for the project.
A generic company certificate or a product-page statement does not prove that every customised panel, base, clamp, stay, gate and screened configuration satisfies a project requirement. Ask for the report or assessment that covers the quoted arrangement, then check its report number, date, scope, limitations and installation conditions.

Evidence |
Applicable standard edition/parts, configuration-specific report or assessment and approved drawing. |
Commercial and logistics |
Unit prices by component, Incoterm and named place, lead time, packing, weights, container plan, payment and warranty scope. |
6. Copy-and-send RFQ
Please quote a complete 2.1m × 2.4m Australian temporary fence system for [project location]. Fence line: [metres] with [corners/returns]. Please state the selected frame OD and wall, wire diameter, mesh opening, coating route/value and tolerance. Itemise [base type], panel clamps, brace clamps, bolts/nuts, spares and gates. Site exposure is [description]; ground is [condition]; shade cloth/signage is [yes/no]. Provide the selected brace/stay drawing, exact component count, proposed locations and stability basis. Identify the required AS 4687 edition/parts and evidence matching the quoted assembly. Quote [Incoterm] to [named place], with packing, lead time, payment terms and warranty scope.
Frequently asked questions
Are feet, clamps and braces automatically included?
No inclusion should be assumed. Ask for every component as a separate quotation line with a quantity and specification.
How many braces are required?
The answer depends on layout, exposure, ground, gates, returns and screening. Request a site-specific proposal and exact brace assembly.
Can shade cloth be added?
Only after the stability arrangement is reviewed for the changed wind action and the cloth is installed under the applicable instructions.
Is AS 4687-2007 still the current edition?
Standards Australia marks it as superseded. Confirm the current project-required edition and parts before ordering.
What helps MaiFa quote accurately?
Send the location, layout, length, panel quantity, gates, base preference, bracing inputs, screening, evidence requirement and delivery destination.
Request a configuration-based quotation from MaiFa
MaiFa can prepare an itemised proposal for Australian-style panels, compatible bases, clamps and bracing components after the project inputs are supplied. The final quotation should make the selected system auditable from panel dimensions through packing and delivery.
