Read on to learn more about what it takes to plan a commercial fence project in Gainesville.
Not every business builds a commercial fence for the same reason. As you begin the process of installing a commercial fence, think about your primary motivation for doing so. Some reasons a business may want a commercial fence include:
By identifying your intended purpose and discussing it with your chosen fence installation company, you’ll have a better sense of what fence will work best for your business.
To put up a fence around your company, first you’ll need to apply for a permit through the city. This can be done via Gainesville’s PermitGNV portal, and you should discuss permits with your fencing company beforehand to better understand what their role in the permit process will be. Installing a fence without the proper permits comes with consequences like fines, stop-work orders, and even demolition at your own cost.
As you work to construct a commercial fence for your business, you have to consider your property in context with the rest of the city. Your commercial fence must adhere to city rules such as maximum fence height allowed, which fencing materials are permitted, and minimum distance required between a fence and the street. Failing to obey a city’s fencing rules can result in hefty fines.
Property lines can be a tricky subject. Property that may appear to be yours at first glance could technically fall under someone else’s ownership, so you should always hire a professional land surveyor to determine exactly where your property lines lie. Building a fence that encroaches on someone else’s property can lead to legal issues and/or forced removal.
Commercial fences can be made from a variety of sturdy materials, like vinyl, wood, aluminum, or chain-link.
Most commercial fencing projects require permits, but requirements vary depending on the property's zoning, location, and fence specifications.
Commercial fences are generally built with thicker, sturdier materials than residential fences are. Commercial fences are generally taller as well. Furthermore, residential homes often prioritize aesthetic appeal whereas commercial fences are more likely to focus solely on utility.
