Fencing companies provide a variety of fences that can be used for different purposes in various settings. This guide on fencing will introduce you to some fence uses, both common and uncommon uses will be included, and this can help you think of some uses you might have for a fence. 

Commercial property security fence

Many commercial properties have security fences installed. These fences are often installed as an additional security measure to protect the property and the contents, both inside and outside, from theft and vandalism. The fences also prevent people from trespassing and ending up getting injured on the property. 

Security fences are most often tall chain-link fences, and they can have barbed wire along the top to prevent someone from climbing over them. In some cases, a security fence will be installed around specific areas around the business, such as around the storage area. In other cases, the security fence can enclose the entire business property. 

Swimming pool enclosure 

Some states legally require swimming pools to be enclosed with fencing. One of the most common types of fencing used to enclose swimming pool areas is wrought iron, although chain link is also commonly used. 

Even if your state doesn't legally require you to have your swimming pool enclosed, it is a good idea for you to still do so. Having a fence put up around the pool area significantly decreases the chances of having a tragedy occur in the pool. 

Temporary job site fencing

Some fencing is put up temporarily, such as that which gets installed to protect job sites like construction sites. Construction sites are dangerous, and trespassers can be seriously injured on a construction site due to the dangerous equipment and other numerous hazards that will be on the site. 

A fence decreases the chances of trespassers coming onto the site and therefore also decreases the chances of someone being injured. Another major reason why job sites are temporarily fenced is to prevent theft and vandalism from taking place. Many times, large equipment and even tools will be left on the site overnight. Also, a lot of construction materials are expensive, and this can be tempting for thieves. Fencing makes it harder for a thief to enter the property and even more challenging for them to take things off of the site. 

Fencing comes in a lot of different styles and different heights, and it can be made from many different types of materials. If you think you might have a need for a fence, then you should contact a fence company and discuss your needs with them.
