Since 2008

About SCS Temporary Fence in Saint Clair Shores

I remember the winter of 2007-2008 like it was yesterday. The wind came off the lake hard, the ground stayed locked up, and job sites all over Saint Clair Shores kept getting hit after dark. Along Harper Avenue especially, crews would leave a site neat at the end of the day and come back to torn mesh, missing material, or tracks where someone had cut through. That’s the stretch that pushed me to build SCS Temporary Fence in 2008, because the jobs around here needed fast protection that didn’t slow the work down. We’re Rodney Kowalski and our crew at SCS Temporary Fence, and we’ve spent years setting temporary fence the way it needs to be set in this city. Saint Clair Shores has that 1920_1950 housing stock in a lot of neighborhoods — brick bungalows, tight lots, mature trees, and driveways that don’t leave much room to work. In places like Lakeview District, Sunnydale / Princeton Area, and Ardmore Park, we’ve got to think about footing, access, and where a gate lands before we ever unload a panel. We do this work with the same habits every time: check the grade, set the line clean, and lock the system down so it holds when the wind picks up. Around Veterans Memorial Park Area and the Harper Avenue Corridor, we’ve had to deal with open lots, traffic dust, and neighbors who deserve a site that stays contained. That’s where details like wind load resistance, concrete steel bases, and wheel assisted gates really earn their keep. We’ve learned a few things the hard way:
  • Fence panels need to match the site, not just the catalog.
  • Storms off the lake will find any weak spot in a hurry.
  • Fast access matters, but a loose gate or bad corner costs more later.
I’ve got the AFA Certified Fence Professional credential, OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety Certification, and a State Contractor License in hand, but the real education came from muddy lots, frozen ground, and late-season wind. We still carry that same mindset into every setup near our Saint Clair Shores service area and every call that comes in to SCS Temporary Fence. We get it up fast, so you can get back to building.

Stopping Vandalism on a Busy Construction Corridor

After a brutal winter in 2007-2008, construction sites along Harper Avenue were hit hard with vandalism and material theft. The cold air still hung heavy while crews struggled to protect exposed foundations and equipment on these open lots. Without proper barriers, projects faced costly delays and security concerns that risked pushing back entire builds.

Our crew deployed sturdy chain-link temporary fencing with lockable gates within 48 hours, securing the perimeter tightly. We positioned fencing to cover all vulnerable entry points, ensuring easy access for authorized workers but deterring trespassers effectively. This swift action stopped further theft and damage, allowing the builder to stay on schedule and keep materials safe.

They got the fence up fast, and it made a huge difference in keeping our site secure and on track.

Protecting a Residential Project Near Ardmore Park

A residential build in the quiet Ardmore Park neighborhood faced constant foot traffic and curiosity from locals, risking damage to delicate landscaping and unfinished structures. The warm spring breeze carried sounds of nearby kids and pets exploring the open site, complicating safety and security. The builder needed a reliable barrier that respected neighborhood aesthetics but kept the project intact.

We installed visually unobtrusive, sturdy temporary fencing that blended well with the surroundings while creating a firm boundary. Our team customized the layout to protect the older brick bungalows nearby and maintain pedestrian flow around the site. This approach minimized disruptions, kept the project safe, and earned appreciation from neighbors and the builder alike.

The fence looked good and kept the site safe without bothering the neighborhood at all.
