Common Commercial Fencing Mistakes (And How We Avoid Them)
Choosing the right fence for your commercial property is about more than just looks. A poorly installed or wrong type of fence can lead to security issues, code violations, and unexpected costs. At Modern Steel & Fence LLC, we’ve seen the most common mistakes made in commercial fencing and we know how to avoid them. Here’s what to look out for and how we do it right.
Using the Wrong Type of Fence
Mistake: Not all fences are made for commercial use. Many property owners choose residential-grade fencing for high-traffic areas or security needs, which can fail quickly.
How We Avoid It: We only recommend materials and designs made to handle commercial demands.
Ignoring Local Codes and Permits
Mistake: Fencing projects often require permits or must meet city guidelines. Ignoring these can cause delays or force a property owner to redo the work.
How We Avoid It: We stay up to date with Austin’s codes and handle all the paperwork for you.
Skipping the Site Evaluation
Mistake: Not checking the property line, soil condition, or underground utilities can lead to major problems.
How We Avoid It: We always do a full site check before we start so that your fence is safe and built to last.
Choosing Style Over Function
Mistake: Some fences may look good but don’t provide enough strength, height, or security.
How We Avoid It: We help you find the right balance between appearance and performance.
Poor Gate Placement
Mistake: A fence is only as good as its access points. Putting gates in the wrong place or using the wrong size can slow down your business.
How We Avoid It: We plan gate locations carefully to make sure they fit your day-to-day operations.
Low-Quality Installation
Mistake: Even the best materials can fail if not installed correctly. Uneven posts, weak foundations, and loose fittings all lead to future repairs.
How We Avoid It: Our trained crews follow strict quality standards to make sure your fence holds up.
No Maintenance Plan
Mistake: Without routine care, even a strong fence can wear down from weather or use.
How We Avoid It: We offer maintenance plans and simple upkeep tips to extend the life of your fence.
Not Planning for Future Needs
Mistake: Some fences are built for today, not tomorrow. As your business grows, so do your needs.
How We Avoid It: We build with flexibility in mind and can upgrade or expand as your property changes.
choosing the right fence company
What to Look for in a Commercial Fencing Company
Not all fence companies are the same. When it comes to protecting your business, you want a contractor who knows what they’re doing and stands behind their work. Before you hire someone, here are the key things to look for in a commercial fencing company and how Modern Steel & Fence LLC checks every box.
Experience With Commercial Projects
Commercial fencing is different from residential work. It requires special materials, planning, and code knowledge. Choose a company with a proven track record in commercial fencing like ours.
Licensed and Insured
You should never hire a contractor who isn’t fully licensed and insured. It puts you at risk if something goes wrong. We carry full licensing and insurance for your protection and peace of mind.
Knowledge of Local Codes
Fencing for businesses often has to meet zoning rules, safety codes, and permitting requirements. We know Austin’s commercial codes inside and out, so your project is always compliant.
High-Quality Materials
A fence is only as good as what it’s made from. Cheap materials may save money upfront, but they don’t last. We use commercial-grade steel, chain link, and other proven materials built to hold up.
Clear and Honest Estimates
Some companies quote low to win the job, then add surprise costs later. We offer clear, written estimates with no hidden fees or upsells.
Reliable Scheduling
Commercial jobs often work on tight timelines. Delays can cost time and money. We show up on time, stick to the schedule, and keep your project moving.
Positive Local Reputation
Look for real reviews from other businesses in your area. A solid reputation means you can trust the work. We’re proud of our five-star reviews and strong word-of-mouth across Austin.
Custom Solutions, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Every commercial property has different needs. Some need high security. Others need controlled access or a clean, professional look. We take time to understand your business and design a fence that fits your specific goals.
