Never liked them. I think fences should be taller than the players to be non-hazardous.
Many moons ago we played 12 year old games on a field designed for older kids, about 280 down the lines and 300 straight away. We did not bother with temp fences. There were no over the fence HRs, but quite a few that were inside the park. It was a lot of fun watching outfielders and runners run on a line drive in the gap, and no one complained about no fence.
