Commercial chain link fencing built for Edmond businesses
Legendary Fence Company Edmond designs and installs commercial chain link fences that match the way real Edmond properties operate. From tight downtown lots near Broadway to large commercial yards along I-35, we build security-focused fencing that fits your site layout, traffic patterns, and long term maintenance needs.
Commercial chain link fencing is not one size fits all. We look at how your property is used each day, what you need to secure, and what kind of access employees, customers, and delivery trucks require. That means different fence heights for public facing frontages and rear storage yards, separate gates for vehicles and pedestrians, and strategic placement of privacy slats or windscreens where you need concealment.
Our team works specifically with property managers, facility directors, general contractors, and small business owners across Edmond and north Oklahoma City. Whether you are trying to meet an insurance requirement, keep inventory secure after hours, or control access to a restricted area, we design a commercial chain link fence system around those goals, not just around a linear foot price.
How our commercial chain link fence process works in Edmond
Every project with Legendary Fence Company Edmond starts with a site meeting. We walk the property with you, mark the fence line, identify utilities, and look at grade changes that can affect fence height and stability. On many commercial lots in Edmond there are easements along the back or side property lines. We help you locate and plan around those so your fence does not create a conflict with OG&E, ONG, or city drainage access.
Next, we confirm height, layout, and access points. Commercial chain link fences commonly range from 6 to 8 feet in Edmond, sometimes up to 10 feet for high security. We identify where gates need to be placed so trucks can turn without hitting posts and pedestrians can enter at safe, visible locations. If you are planning future expansions like a new building or parking area, we account for that now so you are not tearing out new fencing later.
Once the layout is finalized, we provide a written proposal that breaks out materials, heights, gate types, and any add-ons like barbed wire or privacy slats. For larger projects, we can provide phasing options so you can fence critical areas first, then add less critical sections as budget allows. After approval, we schedule a start date that coordinates with your operations so you can keep your business running during installation.
Material, coating, and security options for commercial chain link
Commercial chain link fences are highly customizable, which is why they fit so many Edmond properties. The core choices are framework, mesh, coating, and security toppings.
Framework refers to the posts, top rail, and bracing. For commercial work, we typically use schedule 40 galvanized steel posts set in concrete, with heavier wall pipe at gates and corners. On high traffic or high impact locations, such as near loading docks or where forklifts operate, we may recommend bollards or thicker posts for impact resistance.
Mesh (the chain link fabric) is usually 9 or 11 gauge for commercial projects. Heavier 9 gauge offers more strength and vandal resistance, which is a good fit for storage yards, auto repair lots, and utility areas. Typical heights are 6, 7, or 8 feet, and we can add 3-strand barbed wire or razor wire arms where allowed by code and zoning.
Coating options include basic galvanized silver, which is economical and widely used, and vinyl coated mesh and framework in black, green, or brown. Vinyl coating gives better corrosion resistance in Oklahoma’s freeze-thaw cycles and looks more finished, which works well for retail centers, office parks, and schools. For visual screening, we can add privacy slats, mesh windscreens, or a combination of both on key sections instead of the entire fence to manage budget.
Local codes, permitting, and compliance in Edmond, OK
In Edmond, commercial fence requirements depend on zoning and the specific use of the property. Legendary Fence Company Edmond helps you navigate local rules so your fence passes inspection and does not create headaches later.
We verify height limits and any restrictions on barbed wire or razor wire based on your zoning district and proximity to residential areas. For example, a rear storage yard in a commercial or industrial zone may allow 8 foot chain link with barbed wire, while the same design along a street frontage near homes may not be permitted.
Most straightforward commercial chain link fences on private lots fall under standard building and zoning guidelines and may not require a separate fence permit, but corner lots, fences near right-of-way lines, or fences in platted developments often require additional review to avoid sight obstruction at intersections. We identify these issues in advance and, when a permit is needed, we can provide detailed drawings showing fence location, height, and gate placement for submission.
If you operate in a managed development or business park with its own architectural guidelines, we coordinate with those standards too. That might mean using black vinyl coated chain link instead of galvanized, limiting barbed wire in visible areas, or adding screening fabric along specific sides.
Gate systems, access control, and traffic flow
A commercial chain link fence is only as effective as its gate and access control design. Legendary Fence Company Edmond spends extra time on gate placement and hardware because this is where problems usually show up if the system is rushed.
We install a variety of gates for commercial chain link fences, including single and double swing gates, cantilever sliding gates for wide driveways, and roll gates where space is tight. For properties along high traffic corridors like Broadway Extension or 2nd Street, we often recommend cantilever slide gates so trucks can enter and exit without the arc space that large swing gates require.
For access control, we can integrate keypad entry, card readers, telephone entry systems, and automatic openers designed for commercial duty cycles. On multi-tenant properties, we often pair vehicle gates with separate walk gates equipped with self-closing hinges and commercial grade latches so pedestrians are not walking in the same path as trucks.
We also think through your daily operations. For example, if trash collection occurs behind the building early in the morning, we coordinate gate width and placement so trucks can reach dumpsters without backing blindly across your lot. If emergency access is a concern, we follow fire department access standards and can add Knox-compatible hardware where required.
What drives cost and how to manage your budget
Commercial chain link fence pricing in Edmond is driven by five main factors: total footage, fence height, material grade, terrain, and gate complexity. Understanding these variables helps you plan a realistic budget and avoid surprises.
Higher fences use more material and require deeper concrete footings, especially at 8 feet and above. Heavier gauge mesh and schedule 40 posts cost more upfront but reduce long term repair costs in high abuse areas. If your property has significant slopes, we often need more posts and labor to step or rack the fence so it looks and performs correctly. Rock pockets in Oklahoma soil can also affect digging time and concrete volume.
Gates are usually the most expensive single components. Wide cantilever gates, gate operators, and access control hardware can add significantly to the project total. To keep costs in check, we sometimes recommend a combination approach, such as a manual sliding gate for a rarely used service entrance and a powered gate only for the main truck entrance.
During our proposal, Legendary Fence Company Edmond explains line by line where your dollars are going. If your budget is tight, we can discuss strategies like using galvanized mesh with vinyl coated framework on street facing sides only, reducing the length of privacy screened sections, or installing the fence in phases, starting with high priority security zones.
Common issues, maintenance, and long term performance
Well built commercial chain link fences can last decades in Edmond’s climate, but only if they are designed and installed correctly from the start. Common problems we see on poorly installed fences include leaning terminal posts, sagging gates that drag on the ground, low spots under the fence line that allow equipment or animals to slip through, and rust at cut or poorly coated areas.
Legendary Fence Company Edmond prevents these issues with proper post spacing, full depth concrete footings, adequate bracing at corners and gates, and correctly tensioned top and bottom wire. At vehicle entrances, we use heavier posts and truss bracing so repeated impact and vibration from trucks does not cause the gate area to shift over time.
Maintenance for a galvanized commercial chain link fence is minimal. Routine tasks include inspecting gates annually, lubricating hinges and rollers, tightening any loose hardware, and trimming vegetation away from the fence line so vines do not trap moisture against the metal. For vinyl coated systems, occasional cleaning with mild soap and water keeps the coating looking new.
If your existing fence is damaged by a vehicle, storm, or vandalism, we can often repair only the affected sections instead of replacing the entire run. We match mesh size, color, and framework dimensions as closely as possible so the repair blends with your current fence. Many Edmond businesses carry insurance coverage for perimeter fencing, and we can provide detailed quotes and photos to support your claim.
