Commercial fence in the Ann Arbor area covers a wide range of sites: research and office parks, apartment communities, schools, churches, auto shops, storage yards and construction projects. Each has a different goal. Some want to stop people walking through. Some need to secure vehicles or equipment overnight. Some only need to screen a service area from the street. We ask what the fence has to do before suggesting a material.
Galvanized or black coated chain link is the workhorse for perimeter lines. Ornamental steel gives a better appearance along a street frontage, and cities often prefer it there. Slide gates with operators and keypads control vehicle entry. For winter, we plan gate tracks, plow routes and snow storage together, since a fence in the wrong spot gets hit by the plow every year. Posts for tall or screened fence go below frost depth in larger footings.
Zoning matters more on commercial land than on a house lot. Height, materials, barbed wire and screening are usually set by the zoning district, and a site plan may already show where fence is required. Send us the address and any approved plans. We check the local ordinance, tell you what needs a permit and give a written quote with the scope broken out.
Commercial & security fencing in Ann Arbor: common questions
Can we have barbed wire on top?
That depends on the zoning district and the city or township. Many places limit it to industrial sites or ban it near homes. We check the ordinance for your address before pricing it.
Can you work while the business stays open?
Yes. We plan the job in stages so entrances and parking stay usable, and we can close any open section at the end of each day.
Do you fence apartment and condominium properties?
Yes. We build pool barriers, dumpster screens, perimeter fence and privacy screens between patios for property managers and associations.
