We fence lots, yards and buildings for businesses in Boston and nearby towns. Road salt, snow plows and tight sites are part of every job here, so the posts, coatings and gate type are picked with them in mind.
Commercial fence around Boston covers a wide range of sites: parking lots, contractor yards, loading areas, schools, apartment buildings and utility equipment. Chain link is the standard for a secure perimeter because it is strong, quick to install and easy to repair. Black vinyl-coated chain link or ornamental steel is used where the fence faces customers or a residential street. Each site gets its own layout, with gates sized for the vehicles that use them.
Salt and snow shape the details here. Fences beside lots and roads get sprayed with salt all winter and hit by plows, so galvanized or coated steel, heavier posts and guard rails or bollards at the corners earn their cost. Leave room to stack snow where it will not lean on the fence. Gates need clear ground to roll or swing after a storm, and slide gates are often the better fit on a tight urban lot.
Rules for commercial fence vary by city and by zoning district. Height, materials on the street side, barbed wire and screening for dumpsters or storage are all things a building department may regulate, and a site in a historic district has a further review. We check the requirements for the address before quoting, and we help with the permit paperwork. Tell us what you need to keep in or out, and who needs access, when you call.
Commercial & security fencing in Boston: common questions
Is barbed wire allowed on a commercial fence in Boston?
It depends on the city or town and the zoning of the lot. Some places restrict it or ban it next to homes and sidewalks. We check with the local building department for your address before it goes into a quote.
Can privacy screening be added to chain link?
Yes. Slats woven into the mesh or fabric screen tied to the fence both work. Screening catches wind, so the posts and footings must be sized for it. Say so at the estimate if you plan to add it later.
