Businesses of all kinds use chain link fences to improve their commercial properties, including government facilities, industrial complexes, restaurants, and retail stores. Some use the fencing to surround their entire properties, while others use them in even more specific ways. Here’s a closer look at the benefits this durable and cost-effective solution can provide.

5 Ways Chain Link Fencing Helps Commercial Properties

1. Disguise Unsightly Areas

Purchase fencing with metal or plastic slats to hide trash receptacles and any other unsightly areas of your commercial property within your customers’ line of sight. Many restaurants and bars use such fencing with gates and locks to not only keep trash and recycling areas out of sight but also to prevent people from using the containers for their own trash.

2. Improve Safety

Use chain link fences to increase property security, especially if there’s hazardous equipment that can injure curious children and anyone else who trespasses. This style of fencing also restricts employee access to certain areas in industrial and lab settings so only top-ranking team members with the right clearance and training can enter.

3. Advertise

Enjoy free advertising on your chain link fence. Bendable wires and similar materials make it easy to keep signs on the fence, including those about the latest sales and discounts, opening and closing dates, and anything else that’s relevant to your business.

4. Create Animal Enclosures

Keep livestock safe on commercial farms with chain link fences. It’s also a viable enclosure material for pet stores, petting zoos, and business “pets,” such as dogs who work with nursing home residents or make those staying in women’s and homeless shelters smile.

5. Enjoy Minimal Maintenance

Reap these benefits without spending significant time maintaining your commercial fencing. Unlike other fences that are subject to rot, warping, rust, and mold or mildew growth without the right care, chain link fencing is virtually maintenance-free. The coated wires won’t corrode, and any severely damaged sections are easy to cut and replace.
