4 Types Of Commercial Fencing

Installing a fence around your commercial property is essential. A fence can help you enhance your security measures and protect the privacy of your customers. Additionally, a fence can enhance the aesthetic appeal of your commercial building and improve your property value.

However, choosing the right fence for your commercial building can be an overwhelming process due to the many options available in the market. This article highlights four fences you can install around your commercial building.

1. Chain Link

Chain link fencing is undoubtedly the most preferred fencing for commercial properties like warehouses and stadiums since this fence is affordable and easy to install. 

These chains are made from galvanized steel, making the fence resistant to harsh weather conditions. If you like, you may coat these chains with vinyl painting to improve curb appeal. This paint can also protect your fence against corrosion, making your fence durable.

Unfortunately, this type of fencing may not offer you enough privacy since people can see through the fence. In this case, you can install vinyl slats to fill the spaces. These slats can also help you reduce the amount of dust, noise, or wind that enters your commercial building.

2. Vinyl 

Vinyl is a synthetic material used to make vinyl pickets for fencing commercial properties like restaurants. These pickets are made using the tongue and groove technology which holds all the pieces tightly together and prevents gaps. This technology also gives your fence a wood-like appearance.

If you want a low-maintenance fence for your property, vinyl fencing will best suit your needs. First, this fence is not affected by UV rays meaning your fence will not fade easily. Second, this material is resistant to insect damage, moisture, or corrosion. However, you'll still need to clean the fence occasionally to keep the fence in good shape.

Nevertheless, vinyl pickets are lightweight, and you may need to reinforce your fence with rails to protect it from sagging.

3. Wood 

If you want to add a soft and natural look to your property, consider installing a wooden fence. Wood offers a lower upfront cost, making wood fencing relatively affordable. Also, wood is environmentally friendly, so you can easily dispose of the fencing material after use. 

Wood contains unique natural characteristics that make it ideal for fencing. For instance, wood from trees like Western Red Cedar, commonly used for fencing, contains natural stabilizers and preservatives. These substances protect your fence against termite damage, mildew, and rot.



Moreover, wood fencing comes in various designs, helping you enhance the aesthetics of your property while matching your preference. Examples of the common wood fencing designs include:

• Ranch rail
• Shadow picket
• Solid board
• Tongue and groove

Nevertheless, wood fencing is susceptible to warping, cracking, shrinking, and twisting, and you may need to maintain your fence consistently.

4. Composite 

A composite fence is made from recycled wood, resin, and plastic. The wood gives your fence a natural appearance, while the plastic improves the strength and durability of your fence. 

Maintaining this type of fence is quite easy since this material is resistant to stains, scratches, chips, and fading. Moreover, the pickets of this fencing are interlocked to protect your fence from bowing or warping. Interlocking pickets also give your fence a consistent appearance on both sides.

The major concern when it comes to composite fencing is the cost of the material. Also, if a hot substance comes into contact with this material, your fence will melt.

With a better understanding of the available commercial fencing options, you can easily make an informed choice. Your fencing choice will be inspired by the material's durability, appearance, and price. To make this process easy, contact Admiral Fence Co. LLC for consultation and installation services.
