Emergency exit in a construction fence

An emergency exit in a construction fence must stay clear, be easy to find, and match the fire-safety concept of the site. We rent construction fence in NRW with marked openings — width and position come from your plan or the authority, not from a generic millimetre figure on this page.

A construction fence without a planned emergency exit is a closed ring. For sites, events and road works that is often not allowed. The opening is usually a gate or a clearly marked gap in the fence line, kept free of material, vehicles and advertising banners.

What you should fix with the planner

• Where the emergency exit sits in the fence line
• How wide it must be — that number lives in the fire-safety concept or the permit, not in a shop article
• How it is marked (sign, colour, lighting if the site is used at night)
• Who keeps it clear for the whole rental period

We do not invent DIN numbers or millimetres here. If your tender or fire officer specifies a width, we build the opening to that specification when we deliver the construction fence.
