Most people have noticed rental fences around construction sites and at community events like craft fairs. What some do not realize is that individuals, as well as businesses, can rent these temporary fences. Here are some tips on how to make use of a Rental Fence in Chicago for an upcoming yard sale.

Creating an Enclosed Space

One of the issues with having a yard sale is there is no way to ensure that people have to pass by the person conducting the sale before leaving the site. When there are a lot of people meandering around the tables laden with goodies, there is no way to know if someone pockets an item and slips away. By choosing to erect a Rental Fence in Chicago around the area set aside for the sale, it will be much easier to monitor the traffic and prevent any light fingered activity.

Organizing Items

Having a temporary fence in place also makes it easier to organize the items for the sale. The presence of the fence will allow tables to be arranged around the perimeter, complete with signs posted on the fence proper. Those signs allow visitors to quickly scan the area and see that the table with CD’s, DVD’s and those old vinyl albums and cassettes is over in the far right corner. By making it easier for people to find items they are especially interested in buying, the homeowner increases the chances of selling more goods and making more money from the sale.

Maintaining Traffic Flow

The fencing can also be used to help direct traffic flow and minimize the potential for bottlenecks around certain areas. People can enter the yard sale space at one break along the fence, take a look at all the goodies offered, and then leave through a designated exit. Assuming there is enough room left between the tables, people can browse as much as they like without causing any obstacles for people who are just arriving at the sale.

For those who would like to consider this idea for organizing a yard sale, talk with the team at United Rentafence and compare the different types of fencing available. At least a couple of the rental fences are likely to be ideal for the sale and will take only a little effort to set up.
