Complete Installation Knowledge Base

This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about installing the NXGN Hoarding System. Whether you're using pre-fabricated Panel Hoardings or on-site-built Practical Hoardings, all workmanship and materials must be in accordance with AS 4687:2022 — Temporary Fencing and Hoardings.

The NXGN system is classified as "internal temporary hoarding" per AS 4687:2022. It is a free-standing, modular hoarding system that uses engineered mild steel uprights with blow-moulded weight blocks for counterbalance — no ceiling braces, no floor penetration, no tile damage.

Select a topic below to access detailed construction specifications, fixing details, material requirements and installation best practices for each component of the system.

Panel Hoardings

Pre-fabricated panels built off-site using 70×35mm MGP10 timber frames with 9mm MDF or Plywood skins. Transported as complete units, panel hoardings are ideal for projects requiring rapid installation and consistent quality finish.

Practical Hoardings

Assembled entirely on-site using 70×45mm MGP10 timber with 9mm MDF or Plywood skins. Practical hoardings are ideal when pre-fabricated panel transport is not feasible, or when custom site dimensions require flexible construction.

Uprights & Counterweights

Engineered mild steel brackets that make the NXGN system truly free-standing. Uprights feature a stud receiver, horizontal member and foot, with blow-moulded weight blocks providing counterbalance without any floor or ceiling fixings.
