How we build commercial yard fencing in St Albans
2.4m palisade or 358 weld-mesh, hot-dip galvanised then RAL-coded powder-coat, concrete-set 100SHS or 76CHS line posts. On St Albans jobs we adjust for extensive conservation areas mean fence heights and materials need to match the streetscape.
Property mix locally: Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas in Marshalswick, and Tudor / Georgian properties near the cathedral. Typical gardens: mature gardens, often with established hedging that needs lifting before fencing goes in. Postcodes we regularly service: AL1, AL2, AL3, AL4.
Why this spec, for trade yards, self-storage sites, workshops and small industrial units
- hot-dip galvanised then powder-coated finishes carry a 25-year service life on a working yard
- gate posts sized for daily commercial cycle counts rather than domestic once-a-day operation
- we co-ordinate with the alarm and CCTV installer so cabling routes through the posts, not around them
Where commercial yard fencing isn't the right answer
- — premises with a landlord who prohibits perimeter modifications without formal Section 26 notice
- — client-visitor frontages where a soft timber-fronted boundary is on brand and palisade isn't
Typical commercial yard fencing briefs in St Albans
- → 358 weld-mesh perimeter with CCTV pole mounts integrated into the line posts
- → hoop-top mesh around a client-visitor forecourt where palisade would look wrong
