We fence truck and equipment yards, shops, storage lots and job sites in Billings, Lockwood and Laurel. Give us the address and we check the zoning district before we price a design.
Billings is the trade and freight center for a wide region, and much of our commercial work follows that: equipment and truck yards, shops, warehouses, storage lots and energy sites from Lockwood to Laurel and along the interstate. Chain link is the standard perimeter fence for these. We size the height, the wire gauge and the post schedule to the site, and add privacy slats or screening where a yard has to be hidden from the street.
Entrances get the hardest use. A yard that sees trucks all day usually needs a cantilever slide gate, which rolls on its own frame and has no track on the ground to fill with ice, mud or gravel. We can add an operator with a keypad, card reader or remote. Wind matters on long open sites in this valley. Screening and slats raise the wind load a great deal, so posts and footings have to be designed for them from the start, not added to a light fence later.
Zoning treats commercial and industrial fences differently from house fences. Height, barbed wire, screening of outdoor storage and fences near street corners are all regulated, and the answer depends on the zoning district of the parcel. Send us the address and we check with the planning office before we price a design. For construction sites we also set temporary panels with wind bracing or ballast.
Commercial & security fencing in Billings: common questions
Can I put barbed wire on top of a commercial fence in Billings?
It depends on the zoning district and what is next door. Cities commonly allow it in industrial areas and restrict it near homes. We ask the Planning Division about your parcel before we quote it, and we do not assume the answer.
Do you install commercial fence in winter?
Often, yes. Chain link and gate work can go on in cold weather. Frozen ground slows post holes, and concrete needs protection from freezing while it cures. We tell you at the estimate what the season adds to the schedule.
What is the best gate for a yard with truck traffic and snow?
A cantilever slide gate. It hangs from rollers on posts beside the opening, so there is no ground track to pack with snow or ice. It also needs no swing room, which helps when vehicles park close to the entrance.
