Commercial fencing applies to a broader range of properties than many people realize. We often install and service fencing for many types of industries including:
The right material depends on what the fence needs to accomplish, such as security, screening, code compliance, appearance, or all four.
Chain link is the workhorse of commercial fencing, and we do not build it the same way we’d build a residential backyard fence. We rely on Schedule 40 pipe for posts and rails on commercial installs, along with commercial-grade gauges, fabric, and hardware designed to stand up under daily traffic and heavy gate cycles. Heights usually run from 4 feet for lot boundaries up to 8 feet or more for security applications, and we can also add privacy slats, barbed arms, or bottom tension wire based on your requirements.
When a property needs security without looking like a compound, ornamental fencing is usually the answer. It holds its value better than almost any other fence type, requires very little maintenance, and gives office parks, medical buildings, and apartment communities a polished look along the road frontage. Ornamental panels also rack to follow grade, which matters on the rolling lots common in Columbia County.
For screening instead of security — dumpster corrals, patio enclosures, mechanical equipment, or the back side of a retail lot — vinyl and wood both work well. A 6-foot privacy height is the most common build we do, and pressure-treated pine handles Georgia’s heat and humidity when it is installed correctly and maintained with a quality stain.
We put in guardrail for commercial and municipal applications — neighborhood bridge entrances, church and school driveways, parking deck edges, roadway shoulders, and loading areas. If your site plan calls for guardrail, we can take care of it as part of the same project instead of sending you to a second contractor.
Commercial fencing applies to a broader range of properties than many people realize. We often install and service fencing for many types of industries including:
Gates are often the make-or-break point on a commercial fence project because they are the moving part of the system. We build and install:
You can see more of our gate work on our fence gates page, and our driveway gate installation page covers automated entrances in more detail.
Commercial projects come with different demands than a backyard fence, and we account for them from the beginning:
Yes. We take care of fence repair and fence replacement for commercial properties across the CSRA, including storm-damaged runs, vehicle impacts, failed gate operators, sagging slide gates, and perimeter fencing that is simply reached the end of its life. If your fence is salvageable, we will tell you that. If patching it repeatedly is costing you more than replacing a section, we will tell you that too. Property managers and facility teams typically want a straight answer and a firm number, and that is what we give.
We are based in Evans, GA, and commercial fencing takes us across the entire Central Savannah River Area. Most of our work is concentrated in Columbia County — Evans, Martinez, and Grovetown — along with commercial corridors across Augusta in Richmond County. We also serve Hephzibah, Harlem, Appling, Thomson, Waynesboro, North Augusta, SC, Aiken, SC, and surrounding communities.
If you are planning a new build, replacing an aging perimeter, or bidding on a project that needs a fence contractor who shows up and follows through, we’d like to take a look at it. Request a free estimate from East Georgia Fence, and we will get out to your site, review your scope, and provide a clear written quote. We also offer fence financing if it helps your project move forward on the timeline you need.
Does East Georgia Fence install commercial fencing in Augusta, GA?
Yes. Commercial fencing is a core part of our business, and we put in it across Columbia County and Richmond County, Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, Augusta, and the surrounding CSRA. We work with business owners, property managers, general contractors, and municipalities on projects ranging from a single dumpster enclosure to multi-phase perimeter installations.
What is the best fence for a commercial property?
It depends on what you need the fence to do. Chain link is the most cost-effective choice for security and perimeter control, ornamental steel or aluminum is the better fit when appearance matters along a public street, and wood or vinyl works well for screening dumpsters, patios, and equipment. Many commercial properties end up using a combination, and we will go over which material makes sense for each section of your site.
What is Schedule 40 pipe, and why does it matter?
Schedule 40 refers to the wall thickness of the steel pipe used for posts and rails. It is heavier and more rigid than the lighter-wall pipe often used on residential chain link, which means it performs better under gate loads, high winds, and daily commercial traffic. We rely on Schedule 40 on commercial installations because a perimeter fence that has to last a decade on a working site needs a structural framework built for it.
How tall can a commercial fence be in Columbia County or Richmond County?
Allowable height depends on your zoning district, the fence’s location on the lot, and whether it falls in a front, side, or rear setback. Commercial security fencing often runs 6 to 8 feet, and taller heights are possible for certain uses like ballfields and utility sites. We verify the current requirements for your specific parcel before installation and handle the permitting process as part of the project.
Do you install automatic gates and gate operators?
Yes. We put in cantilever slide gates, roll gates, and commercial double drive gates, and we pair them with gate operators, keypads, card readers, and intercom systems for automated access. We size the gate posts and footings for the weight of the gate and the operator, which is one of the most common places a poorly built commercial gate fails.
Can you install fencing around a commercial pool or amenity area?
Yes. Apartment communities, HOAs, and hotels in Evans, Martinez, Grovetown, and Augusta all have to meet Georgia’s pool barrier requirements, including self-closing and self-latching gate hardware. We put in pool fencing that meets those standards while still looking like it belongs on the property.
Do you work with schools, municipalities, and government projects?
Yes. Alongside private commercial work, we take on municipal and government projects and install fencing at schools and institutional properties across the CSRA — secure play areas, athletic facilities, parking boundaries, and guardrail at entrances and driveways. Public sector work comes with its own bid, scheduling, and documentation requirements, and we are set up to work within them.
Do you work with general contractors on new construction?
We do. We work with reputable residential and commercial contractors across the CSRA and understand how fencing fits into a construction schedule. Give us your plans and your target date and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it and what needs to happen upstream — grading, paving, utilities — before we can set posts.
How long does a commercial fence installation take?
Smaller projects like a dumpster enclosure or a short perimeter run are often finished in a day or two. Larger sites with multiple gates, operators, or hundreds of linear feet can take a week or more, and custom gate fabrication or ornamental panel lead times can extend that. We give you a realistic schedule during the estimate instead of a vague window.
Do you offer commercial fence repair after storm or vehicle damage?
Yes. Storm damage, downed trees, and vehicle impacts are among the most common commercial repairs we take care of. We will assess the damage, tell you whether a section repair or a full replacement makes more financial sense, and get your perimeter secured.
Do you install guardrail?
Yes. We put in guardrail at commercial and municipal locations including neighborhood bridge entrances, church and school driveways, roadways, and parking areas. It is a service many fence contractors do not offer, and we have been doing it in the Augusta area for years.
How do I get a commercial fence quote?
Contact us through our contact page or give us a call, and we will schedule a site visit. Bring us your plans, specs, or just a rough idea of what you need, and we will return a written, itemized quote — no ballpark figures, no surprises at invoice.
