Chain link temporary fence rental in Saint Paul runs about 30 to 75 dollars a day per panel depending on quantity and how long you need it. Most jobs use standard 6 x 10 chain link temporary fence panels, freestanding on rubber feet, no post holes. Saint Paul Porta Pros sets and strikes them on your schedule.
A chain link temporary fence panel is a galvanized steel frame with woven cyclone mesh, dropped into portable rubber or concrete bases instead of dug posts. The 6 x 10 chain link temporary fence panel is the standard size Saint Paul Porta Pros stocks, tall enough to block sightlines and sturdy enough for wind. These panels chain together with clamps, so you can wrap an odd-shaped lot the same way you would a rectangle. Contractors pulling a dumpster permit often fence the drop zone at the same time, since an open roll-off dumpster next to foot traffic is its own liability. If your job also needs portable toilets or a handwashing station fenced off from the public, the same panels do that work. OSHA 1926.202 requires barricades protecting employees to conform to ANSI D6.1, and chain link panels set at property lines or excavation edges are a common way contractors meet that on active sites, alongside general housekeeping duties under OSHA 1926.25 to keep debris clear of walkways. For events instead of construction, see temporary fence rental or crowd control barrier rental for a lighter option.
Temporary chain link fence rental prices in Saint Paul start around 30 dollars a day per panel and scale down per-panel as the run gets longer or the job gets bigger.

Panels go around the material laydown area, the dumpster pad, and any excavation, with an accessible route left open per ADA Standards section 403.5.1, which sets a 36 inch minimum clear width. If your site also serves the public, like a festival restroom setup or a county fair grounds, fencing keeps foot traffic away from generators, light towers, and temporary power poles. A roll-off dumpster delivery needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind the truck, so plan panel placement before the truck arrives, not after. Homeowners doing a renovation often fence the dumpster and a porta potty together at the curb. Saint Paul crews working close to West St. Paul, 4.3 miles south, or Maplewood, 8.8 miles northeast, get the same panel stock and the same lead time. Check our porta potty placement guide for setback thinking that applies to fence layout too, and see porta potty permit requirements since right-of-way placement needs confirming directly with the City of Saint Paul.
There is no fixed minimum or maximum. Day rentals cover weekend projects; most construction jobs rent by the week or month at a lower per-panel rate. Saint Paul Porta Pros adjusts the order as your job timeline shifts, adding or pulling panels without restarting the whole rental.
Sometimes, especially if panels sit in the public right of way or block a sidewalk. That needs confirming with the City of Saint Paul directly; we do not guess at ordinance numbers. See porta potty permit requirements for how we handle this question generally.
