Commercial Fencing
Professional commercial fencing solutions that protect your business, assets, and property.
Commercial Fencing That Protects Your Investment
Your business property represents a significant investment, and proper fencing helps protect that investment. Commercial fencing serves multiple purposes: it deters theft and vandalism, defines property boundaries, controls access, improves safety, and enhances your professional image. A well-designed commercial fence shows customers and clients that you take security seriously and maintain your property to high standards.
Commercial fencing differs from residential fencing in several important ways. It typically needs to be stronger, taller, and more durable to withstand heavy use and potential tampering. It must also comply with commercial building codes, which often have different requirements than residential codes. Insurance companies may require specific types of fencing for certain businesses, especially those storing valuable equipment or inventory outdoors. We understand these commercial requirements and design fencing solutions that meet your specific needs.

Commercial Fence Types and Applications
Different businesses require different fencing solutions. Here are the most common types of commercial fencing we install and their typical applications.
Chain-Link Commercial Fencing
Chain-link is the workhorse of commercial fencing. It offers excellent value for large perimeter fencing, equipment yards, loading docks, and industrial sites. Commercial-grade chain-link uses heavier gauge wire and taller heights than residential versions, typically six to eight feet or higher. We can add barbed wire or razor wire to the top for enhanced security. Privacy slats can be woven through the mesh if you want to block visibility. Chain-link fencing requires minimal maintenance and lasts for decades, making it ideal for businesses that need reliable security without ongoing costs.
Ornamental Aluminum and Steel
For businesses that want security without the industrial look of chain-link, ornamental metal fencing provides an attractive alternative. Aluminum and steel fences come in many styles, from simple picket designs to elaborate patterns with decorative elements. These fences work well for office complexes, retail centers, apartment buildings, and any business where appearance matters. Ornamental fencing provides a professional image while still offering security and access control. The powder-coated finish resists rust and requires no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.
Vinyl Commercial Fencing
Vinyl fencing works well for commercial applications where privacy and low maintenance are priorities. Daycare centers, medical facilities, storage units, and apartment complexes often choose vinyl for its clean appearance and durability. Commercial-grade vinyl uses thicker walls and reinforced panels to handle wind and impact better than residential vinyl. It never needs painting or staining, which reduces long-term maintenance costs. Vinyl comes in various colors and styles to match your building and landscape design.
Wood Commercial Fencing
Wood fencing can work for certain commercial applications, particularly where complete privacy is needed or where local ordinances require a more residential appearance. Restaurants with outdoor seating, multi-family housing, and businesses in residential areas often choose wood to blend with the neighborhood. Commercial wood fencing must use treated lumber and proper construction techniques to ensure durability and longevity. We recommend regular maintenance to protect your investment and maintain appearance.
We help you evaluate your options and choose the fence type that best serves your business needs and budget. During your consultation, we assess your property, discuss security requirements, review any HOA or city regulations, and provide recommendations based on our experience with similar commercial projects. Our goal is to design a fencing solution that meets your practical needs while respecting your budget constraints. When you work with Millbrook Fencing Services, you get commercial fencing expertise backed by years of experience.
Enhancing Commercial Fence Security
A commercial fence provides the foundation for your security system, but additional features can significantly enhance protection and control. Here are the security upgrades we commonly install for commercial clients.
Automated Gates and Access Control
Automated gates allow you to control who enters your property while maintaining convenience for authorized users. We install sliding gates for wide openings and swing gates for smaller access points. Gates can be controlled by keypads, card readers, remote controls, or smartphone apps. Some businesses integrate gate access with their existing security systems for centralized control. Automated gates improve security while eliminating the need for employees to manually open and close gates throughout the day.
Barbed Wire and Razor Wire
For maximum security, barbed wire or razor wire can be added to the top of your fence. This creates a strong visual deterrent and makes it nearly impossible for intruders to climb over. Barbed wire consists of twisted wire with sharp barbs, while razor wire features sharp blades designed to catch clothing and skin. These options work well for industrial sites, storage facilities, and businesses with high-value assets. We install these systems according to local regulations and safety standards.
Security Lighting and Cameras
While we specialize in fencing, we can coordinate with your security provider to ensure your fence works seamlessly with lighting and camera systems. Proper lighting along your fence line eliminates hiding spots and deters criminal activity. Security cameras can be mounted on fence posts to monitor access points and property perimeters. A well-integrated security system combines fencing, lighting, and surveillance for comprehensive protection.
Bollards and Vehicle Barriers
Some commercial properties need protection against vehicle intrusion. Bollards are sturdy posts that prevent vehicles from accessing specific areas while allowing pedestrian traffic. We install decorative bollards near building entrances, fixed bollards for permanent protection, and removable bollards for flexible access control. These additions work alongside your fencing to create a complete security perimeter.
We design commercial fencing systems that accommodate your current security needs while allowing for future upgrades. Whether you start with basic perimeter fencing and add automation later, or install a complete system from the beginning, we ensure compatibility and proper installation. Our commercial fence installation follows industry best practices and meets all applicable codes and standards.
