Properly Package Fencing with FreightCenter
Properly packaging fencing is crucial to the safe and successful delivery. Depending on the material the fencing is made out of, some fencing, like wood, may be more susceptible to damage during transit. Exposure to moisture can also cause damage to certain types of fencing, so ensuring your fencing is packaged tightly can help to seal out any exposure to external conditions. FreightCenter offers the best steps to take to properly package fencing for transportation.
In most cases, fencing will be in separate components that need assembled once it’s delivered.
Palletization: Use a pallet to ensure a stable base to prevent shifting during transport. Place the fencing components in a column pattern to maximize strength and distribute the weight evenly. Then, use slip sheets and shrink wrap between the layers for added stability and to prevent damage.
Protection: It’s important to avoid direct contact between the fencing materials and the pallet. Use packing materials like cardboard, foam, or protective coverings to prevent scratches and dents. Then secure the fencing components to the pallet by using heavy-duty straps or banding to prevent shifting and damage.
Moisture Prevention: While the protective coverings will help to prevent moisture from getting to the fencing, it’s important to store and ship the cargo in a dry environment any damage and prevent warping in wooden fencing.
FreightCenter's goal is to provide value to our customers by providing finely-tailored shipping solutions for shipping fences that address their specific needs. We handle everything from straightforward to complex shipping requirements with expertise, guidance, and care.
Your fencing is valuable, and protecting it during transit is crucial. FreightCenter offers customizable freight insurance options to give you peace of mind. In the rare event of damage or loss, our insurance plans ensures you're covered, minimizing risks and financial impacts.

FreightCenter Offers the Best Transportation Methods For Shipping Fencing
There are various ways that you can ship fencing to your desired destination. FreightCenter offers a wide range of transportation methods that efficiently and safely transport your fencing. Before deciding which transportation method is best for you, it’s essential to consider factors such as distance, transit time, packaging requirements, and cost. There are several methods available through FreightCenter, each with their own advantages.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): Less-than-truckload shipping is a cost-effective option for transporting smaller quantities of fencing that doesn’t require a full trailer. It allows you to ship your freight with various cargo so you only pay for the space you need.
Full Truckload (FTL): Are you a business shipping large quantities of fencing? Full truckload shipping is ideal for fencing shipments that require a full truck trailer. FTL offers faster transit times since the shipment goes directly from pickup to drop-off, reducing handling and potential damage.
Air Freight: While it’s an expensive option, air freight is beneficial for urgent, high-value, or international shipments. Shipping via air offers the quickest transit times, making it useful for time-sensitive fencing shipments. However, air freight does have size and weight restrictions, so it’s important to measure the fencing and carefully package it to meet the airline cargo limits.
Expedited Shipping Services: For fencing shipments that require urgent delivery, expedited shipping services is the optimal choice. These services minimizes transit times by prioritizing the shipment and optimizing routes. Expedited shipping helps to prevent project hold-ups and meet critical deadlines.
Limited-Access Pickup/Delivery Services: Shipping fencing to a school, farm, construction site, or other hard-to-reach area? Limited-access pickup and delivery services utilize specialized trucks to ensure that your fencing gets to its destination, no matter how far, busy, or rural.

Three Things You Didn't Know About Shipping Fencing
Some Fencing May Require Temperature Control
Certain types of fencing require temperature control, as the material they are made out of are sensitive to hot or cold. Fences that are made out of vinyl can crack or break in extremely cold temperatures. FreightCenter offers temperature-controlled freight for more sensitive fencing.
Different Fence Types Require Different Freight Classes
Not all fencing falls under the same freight class. Due to the different materials and their density, freight classification of fencing varies. For instance, a chain link fence and a vinyl fence will not ship the same.
Shipping Fencing is Heavily Seasonal
Spring and early summer are the peak seasons for shipping fences. This is because in these seasons, most construction, landscape, and home improvement projects are happening due to the warmer weather. Work with FreightCenter to ensure your fencing is delivered on time, even in the rush of the season.
