What to Know Before Installing a Commercial Fence?

Protecting your commercial property with a well-designed, high-quality fence is a valuable asset. Security, privacy, and aesthetic appeal are important features, but where do you begin?

This guide will help you make the right decisions before installing a commercial fence.

Security features

• Reinforced panels: If you are looking for security against vandalism, reinforced panels can add the strength and resistance necessary to deter unwanted visitors.

• High-security gates: Choose sturdy gates with heavy-duty hinges and locks that are easy to operate for your employees and visitors.

• Electric fencing: If tight security is an issue, an electric fence can provide an added layer of protection.

• Security cameras: Surveillance is easy if you install a security camera along the fence line.

Privacy features

• Materials: For maximum privacy, choose fences with solid panels like wood or vinyl.

• Privacy screens: If you need privacy with a chain-link fence, privacy screens can be attached.

Durability

• Weather-resistant materials: Choose fencing that can withstand harsh weather, such as wind, excessive rain, and snow.

• Corrosion-resistant coatings: Choose a fence made with corrosion-resistant coatings for a longer life for metal fences.

• Installation: Pick a company that will properly install commercial fencing to prevent sagging, leaning, and other structural issues.

Design

• Cohesive design: To create a smooth flow, choose a commercial fence style that complements your building’s architecture and design.

• Color and finish: Select colors and finishes that directly enhance the overall appearance of your property.

Access

• Access gates: Make sure gates are wide enough and easy to operate for employees and customers coming and going in vehicles, trucks, and on foot.

• Automatic gates are an easy way to enter and exit for security and convenience.

Added features

• Lighting: Solar lighting can be installed along your fence line for additional visibility and security.

• Alarm systems: Add an alarm system to keep unauthorized people away from your property.

• Custom design: Get creative to implement a commercial fence design unique to your business.
