Temporary Fence and Barricade Rental Invoicing App (2026)
Temp fence is billed as recurring rental by linear foot or panel, plus delivery, installation, relocation, and pickup as one-time charges — running for months against construction and event clients who pay on terms. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) bills the monthly rental automatically, invoices moves and service calls as they happen, and puts the job site and PO reference on every line so a contractor's AP can process it.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, taken from each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the small rental operator's workflow — recurring rental billing, delivery and relocation charges, site and PO references for contractor accounts, and damage or loss recovery — not on nationwide rental marketplaces, yard inventory systems, or asset RFID tracking built for large fleets.

Rental is recurring; the moves are the margin
A fence line goes up once and gets billed every month — that’s the base. But construction sites reshape constantly: gates move, sections come out for deliveries, lines shift as foundations go in.
Operators who bill every move run a real business. Operators who “just swing by” run a truck at a loss.

Put the job site on every line
Contractors run many sites and code invoices by job number. A fence invoice without the site and PO reference just sits in a pile until someone reconstructs which project it belongs to.
Prepay the events, term the contractors
An event ends and the reason to pay you ends with it. Event clients prepay; contractors get terms — that split alone might be the single most useful policy in short-term rental.
Count the panels at pickup
With a stated replacement value in the agreement, and reconcile the count on site, in front of the site super — it’s worth more than any invoice you’d send afterward.
Frequently asked questions
How should temp fence be priced?
Monthly rental per linear foot or per panel, with delivery, installation, and pickup as one-time charges. The rental is the recurring revenue; the moves are where operators most often forget to bill.
What's the most commonly missed charge?
Relocation. Contractors move fence lines constantly as a site progresses, and each move is a truck, a crew, and a half day. Price it on the rental agreement so it's expected rather than argued.
How do I recover damaged or missing panels?
State a per-panel replacement value in the agreement and invoice against it at pickup with a count. Without a stated value, missing panels become a negotiation you lose after the site has already closed.
Do contractors pay differently from event clients?
Yes. Contractors pay on terms against a PO and a job number; event clients should prepay, because the event ends and the urgency to pay you ends with it.
