Commercial Ornamental Do’s and Don’ts

A commercial ornamental fence is an important purchase. The right look and feel can set the tone of a business in a significant way. Proper installation is not only critical for initial appeal, but also for long-term structural integrity. Here are some essential do’s and don’ts for commercial fencing around your business.

Do: Keep Your Business’s Style in Mind

The fence you choose needs to speak to the spirit and nature of your business.

Choose the materials that fit the products or services you offer. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and have fun with the process. For example, a seamstress that caters to steam punk and costume enthusiasts might be well-served with wrought iron. A funky resale shop might benefit from some added embellishments, such as decorative finials that show flair, while a financial planner might be better suited with a sturdy but plain fence that shows stability.

Don’t: Underestimate Security Needs

A commercial fence should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but should provide adequate security when the business is closed. A solid gate and a security panel may be necessary and a strong padlock may also be a wise choice for after-hours protection.

Check out your neighbors; see how other businesses around you protect their premises and inventory when closed. Discuss all the options with the contractor. A professional fencing contractor will know which security options best protect your business while working with your individual fencing choices.

Do: Fit the Neighborhood

Be a good neighbor, No matter how secure you think a black privacy fence is, if every other business and home in the neighborhood uses low-profile wood fencing, your choice will stand out — and likely not in a positive way.

Choose a material and size that meshes with nearby businesses, then find small details that can help your business stand out. Attached signage is one option, as is an attractive built-in address marker or decorative gate handle for an appropriate and attractive look.

Don’t: Pinch Pennies on Materials or Installation

Higher-quality materials can cost more up front, but they will offer long term savings in maintenance, repair, and replacement costs. The fencing around your business is an investment that conveys a sense of security and reliability to potential customers. Your business reputation is worth taking the time and care to select the right materials and a knowledgeable contractor for installation.

A commercial fence is a big investment, but it is an important one. Use these tips to choose wisely so that your business can look its best while staying secure.
