Fences for Commercial Properties

October 8, 2024
259  

Landscaping of the territory of a commercial property—such as a café, shop, residential complex, etc.—often involves the construction of a fence. Depending on the conditions, the fence can serve purely decorative functions (for example, in the city center) or provide maximum isolation of the area.

We will discuss what type of fence to choose and specific technical solutions in our review.

Where and why are commercial fences used?

A commercial property often has its own territory that needs to be separated from the territories of other commercial or private plots. If the area is significant and the boundary needs to be clearly defined, it is advisable (and sometimes necessary) to install a fence.

Fences can be installed almost anywhere, but they are most often mounted in areas such as:

  • Cottage towns
  • Residential complexes
  • Parking lots and loading areas
  • Hotels
  • Restaurants with summer terraces, etc.

In all the mentioned cases, the fence serves several functions:

  • Visual marking of the plot boundaries
  • Prevention of unauthorized access to the plot
  • Ensuring privacy
  • Visual complement to the architectural ensemble

Such multifunctionality requires the property owner to approach the choice of a fence with the utmost attention.

Commercial fences can be made from various materials, including metal, glass, stone, wood, concrete, and plastic. They can be designed in different styles and designs to match the architecture and style of the building.

Common types of commercial fences include fences, gates, stair and balcony railings, barriers, and grilles. Depending on specific needs and requirements, fences can be custom-made to fit specific dimensions and shapes.

Requirements for fences near commercial properties

In fact, the requirements for fences for commercial and private properties will be similar. However, in the former case, there are specific nuances, so it’s worth examining in detail what a fence should be like:

  • Barrier functions of the fence: The barrier function of a commercial property fence is important in the vast majority of cases. It is necessary for the fence to protect the area from unauthorized access attempts and do so as effectively as possible.
  • Resistance to mechanical and climatic influences: The operational load on commercial fences is significantly higher than that on fences in the private sector. Therefore, it is important to use materials with high mechanical strength that resist wear well.
  • Aesthetic design: The fence is a visual component of the commercial property, so it is very important for it to look attractive (at least neat) and fit into the overall visual concept.
  • Fire resistance: The risk of ignition should be minimal, so commercial fences should be made exclusively from fire-resistant materials.

Important! The dimensions of the fence, its design, and placement must comply with current legislation. Specific parameters are determined for each plot individually, taking into account its location and purpose.

Material and structure of the fence

The field of commercial fences is quite broad; however, this primarily concerns the variety of designs. The choice of materials is not as extensive, so you can choose from a limited number of options:

  1. Brick or stone fence: This structure requires a massive foundation and involves significant time expenditure for construction. The cost is quite high, but the fence will last a long time.
  2. Mesh fences: For example, steel mesh fences are the most durable and long-lasting, but they can be prone to corrosion. Aluminum mesh fences are lightweight and sturdy but may be less resistant to impacts and mechanical damage.
  3. Concrete fence: Recently, the popularity of cast concrete fences has been declining. However, if funds are limited, this solution may be acceptable. Though it has the main disadvantage of a “cheap” appearance, which can be hard to accept.
  4. Wooden fence: Even with the use of wood treated with antiseptic and moisture-resistant substances, the fence will not last too long. There are also concerns about the fence’s fire resistance— even quality fire retardants do not guarantee 100% results.
  5. Plastic fences: They are lightweight and sturdy, easy to install, and do not require regular maintenance. They can come in various colors and textures but are not as durable as metal fences.
  6. Metal fence: Here, it is advisable to avoid grilles, corrugated sheets, and especially meshes— instead, opt for modern panel structures. If quality metal is used, these fences can last several decades without any signs of corrosion.

Regarding the design of the fence, it is primarily determined by the project requirements for each commercial property. Typically, fences are built at a height of 1.2–1.5 to 2–2.5 meters—this ensures adequate privacy and protection against intrusion. At the same time, the fence sections can be:

  • Ventilated
  • Solid (opaque)

Metal Fences for Commercial Properties by Mehbud

One of the largest (and most recognized!) manufacturers of metal fences for the commercial sector in Ukraine is the Mehbud metal products factory. The company’s product line includes a variety of models that are successfully used to address such tasks. Moreover, the list of projects where Mehbud fences have been applied already exceeds several thousand.

Types of Fences

Almost any fence from the Mehbud range can be successfully used for enclosing commercial properties. However, the most popular models combine stylish design and excellent performance characteristics with an attractive price. The following options are particularly worth noting:

  • Horizont: Undoubtedly the most versatile and practical model. It is ideal for situations where protection from unauthorized access and prying eyes is needed. With its outstanding mechanical properties, it allows for the manufacture of large sections without fear of deformation due to its own weight.
  • Vertical: Essentially a modification of the previous model, primarily differing in the arrangement of the slats. Thanks to the vertical installation of the components, the fence appears more original—making this series suitable for creating designer enclosures.
  • Blinds Classic: A basic model from the blinds fence line—ideal for retaining the advantages of both solid and ventilated structures. The model’s benefits include an attractive price, good barrier functions, and privacy while maintaining light and airflow.
  • Rancho: A ventilated fence used in landscaping private homes, which will also suit commercial properties. The fence looks quite neat while ensuring good ventilation and sufficient natural lighting even at great heights.
  • Blinds Exclusive: The advantages of this model are similar to those of the Blinds Classic fence. However, Exclusive is a “step up” in both design and performance characteristics!
  • Rombo Light: Slats with this profile are perfect for enclosing homes, country complexes, and cottage towns.

Fences from Mehbud for Cottage Villages, Residential Complexes, and Other Projects

As mentioned earlier, fences from the Mehbud factory are actively used in the construction and reconstruction of commercial real estate. The list of completed projects is extensive, but it’s worth highlighting the following:

  • Riviera Villas Cottage Village (Kyiv) was designed using the Blinds fence. Specialists installed a fence with a total length of more than 1 km.
  • Utlandia Residential Complex (Irpin) was enclosed with the Rancho fence from Mehbud.
  • During the landscaping of the West House Residential Complex (Kyiv), the Classic Blinds fence was used as the main perimeter fence.
  • A Rancho fence was built across the territory of the Svitlyy Sovinyon Cottage Village (Odesa).
  • Riviera Gold Cottage Village (Lviv) was fenced with the Horizon fence to protect against intrusion and ensure maximum privacy for residents and guests.
  • Sovinyen Residential Complex (Odesa). The Classic Blinds fence served as an element that, on one hand, connects the adjacent territory with nearby objects, and on the other hand, isolates it from the external environment, making it more comfortable and safe.
  • Dobrobut Clinic in Kyiv. A fencing structure for technical areas was implemented using Classic Blinds slats in the classic RAL-7024 color.
  • Green Lake Cottage Village (Kyiv Region). The Rancho fence from Mehbud became part of the landscape design of the cottage village.

Of course, this is far from a complete list of projects where Mehbud products were used. If you need a fence for a commercial property—whether it’s a residential complex, cottage village, office center, etc.—the specialists at our company can help not only select the right option but also process the order and organize the installation of the fence.
