Commercial Fencing

Professional Fencing for Business Properties

Your business property needs protection. Whether you're securing inventory, defining your property line, or meeting insurance requirements, the right commercial fence makes a difference. It keeps unwanted visitors out, protects your assets, and gives your property a professional appearance.

At TrustyCrew Sanford Fencing, we install commercial fences throughout Sanford and the surrounding areas for businesses of all types. We understand that commercial fencing needs to be durable, secure, and cost-effective. We work with your budget and timeline to deliver fencing solutions that protect your business.

Types of Commercial Fencing

Different businesses have different fencing needs. Here are the most common commercial fence types and where they work best:

• Chain-link fencing: The most popular commercial fence due to its affordability and durability. Perfect for warehouses, storage yards, parking lots, and perimeter security.
• Aluminum fencing: Provides an upscale appearance for office buildings, medical facilities, and retail properties. Looks professional without blocking visibility.
• Vinyl fencing: Works well for properties where appearance matters but maintenance time is limited. Good for office parks and professional settings.
• Wood fencing: Suitable for properties where privacy or a more traditional appearance is desired. Common for restaurants with outdoor seating or businesses in residential areas.
• Security fencing: Heavy-duty chain-link with barbed wire or razor wire top. Used for high-security applications like utility yards, industrial facilities, or valuable equipment storage.

Common Commercial Fencing Applications

We install commercial fencing for many different types of businesses and applications. Here are the most common projects we handle:

Perimeter security: Defining and securing your property line is one of the most common reasons businesses install fencing. A fence clearly marks where your property ends and prevents trespassing. It also satisfies insurance requirements that many businesses face.

Equipment and material storage: If you store equipment, materials, or vehicles on your property, secure fencing is essential. It prevents theft and reduces insurance costs. Chain-link with added height or barbed wire provides excellent security for storage areas.

Dumpster enclosures: Most commercial properties need fencing around dumpsters to screen them from view and meet local codes. We build custom enclosures that hide unsightly waste containers while allowing easy access for trash service.

Parking lot security: Fencing your parking lot protects vehicles and controls access. This is especially important for employee parking or long-term parking facilities. Gates can be added for controlled entry.

Pool areas: Hotels, apartment complexes, and recreation facilities need pool fencing that meets safety codes. We install code-compliant pool fencing that keeps liability low and guests safe.

Tenant separation: Multi-tenant properties often need fencing to separate different business spaces. This is common in storage facilities, industrial parks, and warehouse complexes.

Chain-Link for Commercial Properties

Chain-link is the workhorse of commercial fencing, and for good reason. It offers the best combination of security, durability, and value. Here's why so many businesses choose chain-link:

Cost-effective for large areas: When you need to fence a large perimeter, chain-link is usually the most economical option. The cost per linear foot is lower than other fence types, which matters when you're installing hundreds or thousands of feet.

Multiple height options: Commercial chain-link is available in heights from 4 feet to 12 feet or more. Taller fences provide better security and are harder to climb.

Security enhancements: You can add barbed wire, razor wire, or privacy top to increase security. Bottom tension wire prevents the fence from being lifted. These additions make chain-link suitable for high-security applications.

Visibility or privacy: Standard chain-link allows visibility through the fence, which many businesses prefer. If privacy is needed, we can add privacy slats in various colors to block the view.

Long-lasting: Commercial-grade galvanized or vinyl-coated chain-link lasts 20+ years with minimal maintenance. It handles Florida weather without rusting or deteriorating. Learn more about chain-link fencing options.

Access Control and Gates

Most commercial fences need gates for vehicle and pedestrian access. We install various gate types to meet your needs:

Swing gates: The most common and economical option. Single or double gates that swing open manually. Available in sizes from walk-through to wide enough for trucks.

Slide gates: Better for larger openings or where space doesn't allow a swing gate. The gate slides horizontally on a track. Can be manual or automated.

Automatic gates: Motorized gates with remote control, keypad, or card reader access. Perfect for controlling who enters your property. We install both chain-link and ornamental automatic gates.

Security features: Gates can include various locking mechanisms from simple padlocks to electronic access control systems. We'll recommend the right security level for your situation.

Meeting Code and Insurance Requirements

Commercial properties often have specific fencing requirements from local codes, insurance companies, or industry regulations. We're familiar with these requirements and ensure your fence meets all of them.

Building codes: Commercial fencing must meet local building codes for height, setback from property lines, and construction standards. We ensure compliance with all applicable codes.

Insurance requirements: Many insurance policies require specific types of fencing for businesses storing valuable equipment or materials. We can provide documentation showing your fence meets insurance standards.

Industry regulations: Some industries have specific fencing requirements. For example, pool fencing has strict safety codes. Storage facilities may need certain security features. We know these requirements and build accordingly.

ADA compliance: If your fence includes gates that the public uses, we ensure they meet ADA requirements for width and operation.

Why Choose Professional Installation

Commercial fencing is an investment in your property's security and value. Professional installation ensures you get the most from that investment. Here's what professional installation provides:

Proper planning: We survey your property, identify underground utilities, and plan the fence to avoid obstacles and drainage issues. Poor planning leads to problems down the road.

Commercial-grade materials: We use heavier gauge materials for commercial applications than residential fencing. This provides the extra strength and durability that commercial properties need.

Stronger installation: Commercial fences need deeper post holes, more concrete, and proper tensioning to withstand heavy use and potential tampering. We install to commercial standards.

Permit handling: We handle all paperwork, permits, and inspections. This saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly.

Warranty protection: Our work is backed by warranties on both materials and labor. If problems arise, we fix them. Learn more about our professional fence installation process.
