How to Choose the Best Fence for Commercial Properties
A fence system for a commercial property has several benefits, it offers an added layer of security, provides durability and can be incorporated into the property’s aesthetic.
Commercial properties can have different needs and it is important to find a fence system that meets those requirements. Gregory Fence manufactures perimeter protection solutions for any commercial property. Below are three key aspects of fencing systems to consider for your commercial fence installation.
Heightened Security
Fence systems are crucial for commercial property security. Expanded metal fencing is the industrial solution for areas that require maximum security. This system will not bend and cannot be cut. The small mesh panel construction is no-climb for enhanced security. Expanded metal fencing is installed with Gregory C-Post for added strength. Welded wire safety fence systems combine welded wire panels, Standard C and Heavy C post profiles to provide superior strength.
A fence system needs to be durable for security and longevity. Gregory’s chain link fence systems are manufactured with continuously galvanized steel for strength and durability. Our chain link fence systems use C-Posts, also known as C-channel fence posts. We begin with 50,000-pound minimum yield strength steel. Our continuous galvanizing process uses two ounces of zinc per square foot on both sides of the metal, which is in accordance with ASTM F1043 Type A. C-Posts have greater corrosion protection than traditional metal fence posts because they are galvanized on the inside and outside. The open channel does not trap moisture that can lead to premature rusting and potential failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are often questions surrounding the process for a perimeter protection project. Below you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we get at Gregory Fence.
How long does it take to install a fence?
The length of time to install a commercial property fence can vary by factors such as size of property, weather conditions, materials and design complexity. Usually, materials such as chain link fencing can take less time to install compared to intricate options, including high-security fences. On average, a fencing installation project at a commercial property can take around 1-5 days to complete.
Do I need a permit to install a fence?
Fence permit requirements often depend on your state and local legislation. Permits can vary depending on the location of the property, the property type and the purpose of the fencing. Contact your local government to ensure you get the correct permits required for perimeter protection.
What type of maintenance is required?
Different fence materials require specialized maintenance. Generally, you want to regularly examine fencing made of any material for signs of damage. Make sure you keep any grass or vegetation trimmed away from the fence. Metal and chain link fencing can be washed with a mild detergent. Wood fencing should be checked regularly for damage, rot or warping. If you detect damage, it is important to make repairs to ensure the fence remains secure.
