Fencing

A valet needs an enclosure. Anything more than 200 bike capacity should have 2m+ high metal fencing. Chain link or temporary construction fencing make excellent barriers. For any fence height under 5' or 150cm, bikes should be parked away from the fence to lower the risk of people handing bikes or other objects over the fence.

Temporary plastic fencing, such as snow fencing, is a cheaper but less secure option. If you have a surplus of racks, they can also be used as fencing in combination with tarps, banners, or rollable plastic fencing, though this is not ideal.

Large event valet service should work with hosts to provide fencing for the valet enclosure, as they generally will rent fencing for the event. Some valet providers supply their own metal fencing, although this requires vehicles and abundant storage space.
