There are several types of commercial fencing available, each with its own advantages and designed to meet a variety of standards and expectations.
Wood Fences: When it comes to fencing, wood provides the most versatile material. It can be tailored to add aesthetic appeal. In addition, there are many different types of wood to choose from, such as pine, cedar, etc. By adding treatments to reduce the effects of weathering, the longevity and integrity of the wood is improved and maintenance is relatively easy.
Aluminum Fence: Aluminum is strong and durable and does not require frequent maintenance. It can also be color-treated to enhance its visual appeal. In contrast, it is an inexpensive alternative to other metals such as steel or iron.
Chain Link Fence: The most common type of fence, chain links can be used to safely demarcate boundaries, protect children and pets, and other commercial and residential security. It is ideal for building kennels for dogs or other animals. Chain link fencing is easy to build and install.
Vinyl Fence: Similar to vinyl siding, vinyl fencing is durable and easy to clean and maintain. It can be painted to match your home. It can decorate privacy or border markings like a wood fence, but withstand weathering better than treated wood.
Farm Fencing: Fenced farms require good planning to ensure that needs are met accurately. Designing the right type of fencing for each area that requires fencing is a tailor-made job. The type of fencing required to keep livestock is different than one that simply marks the boundaries of a property, so it’s important to choose a company that understands this.
Pool Fencing: In many states, including North Carolina, every pool needs to be fenced for safety. This is to protect small children and animals from stray and drowning, which is the responsibility of the homeowner. It’s important to use durable materials that meet safety requirements, but there’s no reason these fences can’t be visually pleasing.
Ornamental Fences: Designing fences purely for aesthetics gives you a wide variety of materials to choose from, and since they are primarily used for boundary marking, this opens up more possibilities for creativity. Decorative fencing can be made of wood, steel, iron, vinyl, aluminum, and many other combinations.
Driveway Entries: Creating driveway entrances to block unnecessary traffic into your yard and protect children and pets from areas where cars are parked is a very important safety concern.
Wooden gates: Wooden gates are the perfect complement to wooden fences and a practical device. There are many ways to design a gate, which can blend in with the fence or stand out as a functional ornament.
Steel gates: Steel gates are ideal for pairing with chain links or aluminum fencing. Entryways don’t necessarily work with fencing, and there are a variety of installation options, such as hinged or sliding, so it’s important to consider your needs and what’s most practical.
