Not every game, meet, or tournament calls for the same fencing setup. A youth soccer match and a rodeo have very different crowd sizes, safety concerns, and field layouts — and the wrong fence choice can mean safety gaps, wasted budget, or a setup that doesn't hold up to Wyoming wind and weather. Here's how to match fencing to your event.

Chain Link Fence Panels

The workhorse option — sturdy, visible, and quick to install. Best for: Baseball and softball field perimeters, Soccer and lacrosse field boundaries, General crowd control at youth and community sporting events

Windscreen Fence Panels

Chain link fencing with mesh windscreen attached, cutting wind exposure and adding a clean, branded look. Best for: High school and college tournaments, Events with sponsor banners or branding needs, Open, exposed fields where Wyoming wind is a factor

Barricades and Crowd Control Barriers

Freestanding, easy to reposition, ideal for guiding foot traffic rather than sealing off a full perimeter. Best for: Rodeo grounds and arena entry points, Race courses (5Ks, marathons, motocross), Spectator zones needing flexible, movable boundaries

Privacy Fence Panels

Solid paneling for full visual screening, often used alongside standard fencing. Best for: Athlete or staging areas needing separation from spectators, Equipment and storage zones on event grounds, Events wanting a more finished, professional appearance

How to Choose

Three questions usually settle it:

1. What are you protecting against — access or visibility? Keeping people out calls for different fencing than keeping an area private.

2. How exposed is the site? Open Wyoming fields need wind-rated, secured panels, not lightweight barriers that can blow over.

3. How long is the event? A single-day meet has different setup/teardown needs than a multi-week tournament season.

The Countrywide Rental Advantage

Rather than guessing at fence type and quantity, Countrywide Rental works with event organizers, schools, and venues across Wyoming to determine the right fencing mix for field size, crowd volume, and site conditions — then handles delivery, setup, and teardown so organizers can focus on the event itself.
