Description

Keep Your Temporary Fencing Standing in the Worst Conditions

Temporary fencing is only as secure as the support behind it. A run of Heras panels might look solid on a calm day, but a single gust or a knock from passing foot traffic can be enough to tip an unbraced panel. The Heras Fence Stabiliser Brace solves that by anchoring each panel back to the ground, transferring wind load and impact safely away from the fence line.

Fitted at a 60° angle between the panel and the floor, the brace works with your existing setup rather than replacing any of it. It’s a low-cost, reusable addition that makes a noticeable difference to site safety and helps you meet HSE guidance on temporary fencing stability.

Built for Repeated Outdoor Use

The brace is manufactured from pre-galvanised steel, so it shrugs off rain, frost and damp ground without rusting. At roughly 2.5kg, it’s light enough to carry several at a time and quick to fit, yet the welded square base plate gives it a stable footing once anchored. Because it’s fully reusable, you can move it from job to job for years without it degrading.

How to Fit It

  1. Open the fence coupler/clip where the brace will attach to the panel frame.
  2. Pass the bolt through the fixing hole at the top of the brace.
  3. Reconnect the coupler halves around the panel and brace, then tighten.
  4. Set the brace to a 60° angle so the base plate sits flat on the ground.
  5. Anchor the base plate – drive soil pins through the holes on soft ground, or slot the plate into a rubber fence foot on hard standing.
  6. Check that every fixing is tight before relying on the fence line.

Where it's Used

The brace suits any temporary perimeter exposed to wind, footfall or accidental impact, including construction and demolition sites, roadworks and highway schemes, utility and infrastructure projects, outdoor events and festivals, crowd control points, and general site security and boundary protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes. It attaches to the panel frame via a standard coupler, so it works across the common Heras-style panel sizes rather than being tied to one width.

The general recommendation is one per panel. On very exposed or coastal sites, you may want a brace on every panel for full protection, while sheltered indoor or low-wind runs can sometimes be braced on alternate panels – use your own site risk assessment to decide.

The plate sits low and flat to the ground, but on public-facing or high-footfall sides, it’s worth positioning braces on the inside of the fence line where possible, or using a rubber foot to keep the profile contained.

Pre-galvanised steel is designed for long-term outdoor exposure and needs no painting or treatment. Surface marking from handling is normal and doesn’t affect the corrosion protection or strength.

This backstay brace anchors the panel to the ground using pins or a rubber foot, making it ideal where you can fix it into the surface. A ballast block stabiliser instead holds a weighted block and is better suited to hard surfaces where you can’t, or don’t want to, pin into the ground.

No specialist kit is required, the brace fixes through the standard fence coupler, so a basic spanner to tighten the coupler bolt is all you’ll typically need.

No. The brace is supplied on its own so you can choose the right anchoring method for your ground conditions. Soil pins and rubber feet are available separately.
