When you need to control foot traffic on a busy site, a proper pedestrian gate is essential. Our temporary pedestrian gates create a clearly defined access point for workers, visitors, and event attendees, slotting neatly into your existing fence line. Whether you’re managing a construction site or running a festival, these gates help you keep people moving safely without compromising on security or workflow. And with next-day delivery available nationwide, you won’t be left waiting when schedules are tight.
Why hire a pedestrian gate?
A pedestrian gate isn’t just a nice extra – it’s a key part of a well-organised site. By giving people a dedicated entry and exit point, you can reduce bottlenecks, improve safety, and make life easier for site managers and security teams.
These gates integrate seamlessly into standard Heras-style fencing, creating a secure access point without the need for awkward modifications. The clever hinge design sits above the footing, so the gate opens smoothly without the hassle of wheels or uneven ground getting in the way.
Built from galvanised steel and finished with a tough zinc coating, they’re designed to withstand the knocks and scrapes of a busy site while remaining lightweight enough to be quick to install.

These gates are ideal for any site or event where you need a controlled pedestrian access point. They’re commonly used for:
