Industrial & Security Fencing
Heavy steel fencing, commercial chain link and cantilever gates for warehouses, yards and storage lots.

For Charlotte warehouses and storage yards, effective security fencing combines height (typically 6 to 8 feet), anti-climb design (narrow picket spacing or mesh), strong posts, cantilever rolling gates that don't need a track in the driveway, and access control. Taller fences and gate installations may need building permits.
Options
- Ornamental steel with narrow picket spacing, pressed spear or flat tops
- Commercial chain link in heavier gauges, galvanized or black vinyl-coated
- Cantilever rolling gates for wide truck entrances
- Pedestrian gates with access control
- Access control: keypads, card readers, remotes and vehicle exit sensors
Planning a secure perimeter
- Keep fence lines clear of things that help climbing, like dumpsters or pallets
- Light the gate and approach
- Match gate width to the largest truck that turns in
- Plan for emergency access and Knox-type key boxes where required
Near Uptown and along industrial corridors
Many light-industrial buildings near Uptown, along the rail lines and in older corridors share streets with growing residential neighborhoods. Ornamental steel gives security without looking like a prison yard. We avoid barbed and razor wire unless a site truly needs it and the rules allow it.

Questions Charlotte homeowners ask
What is a cantilever gate?
A sliding gate that rolls on carriages mounted to posts beside the opening, with a counterbalance tail. Nothing sits in the driveway, so it works well with trucks and debris.
Ornamental steel or chain link?
Steel looks better and resists cutting and climbing better. Commercial chain link is economical for long perimeters.
