Chain link is the most practical perimeter fence for commercial properties, schools, warehouses, storage facilities, utilities, and construction sites. It is fast to install, low maintenance, and holds up for decades without painting or treating.
Fences R Us has been installing commercial chain link fencing in Ocala and across Marion County since 2003. The crew handles everything from a single lot perimeter to large industrial installations. Chain link gauge, height, post spacing, top rail, and finish are all spec'd to the job during the site visit.
Clients include commercial property owners, contractors, storage operators, schools, and municipal facilities across five Central Florida counties. No subcontractors. Manny quotes it and the same crew builds it.
Commercial and Industrial Applications in Central Florida
Chain link fencing works across a wide range of commercial and institutional settings. Here are the most common jobs Fences R Us handles in the Ocala area.
Warehouses and Distribution Centers
Perimeter fencing for warehouse properties, loading dock areas, and outdoor storage yards. Heavy gauge with a top rail and tension wire keeps the fence line tight under daily contact from equipment.
Self-Storage Facilities
Fences R Us installs perimeter chain link and security gates for self-storage operations. Roll gates, swing gates, and sliding gates are all options. Keypad and access control rough-in is available on request.
Schools and Recreation Facilities
Chain link around school properties, athletic fields, and playgrounds. Post spacing, height, and mesh size are spec'd to the application. Vinyl coated options in black or green are popular for athletic fields.
Construction Sites
Temporary chain link panels for job site security and perimeter control during construction. Panels are set up, moved as the job progresses, and taken down at project completion. Rentals and full purchases available.
Utilities and Infrastructure
Fencing around electrical substations, water treatment facilities, pump stations, and other utility infrastructure. Heavy gauge with topped barbed wire is standard for these applications in Marion County.
Commercial Property Perimeters
General perimeter fencing for retail lots, auto dealers, equipment yards, nurseries, kennels, and any commercial property that needs a defined and secure boundary line.
Chain Link Fencing Specifications
Mesh Size
Standard chain link mesh is 2-inch diamond. Smaller mesh sizes are available for high-security applications or where the fence needs to block smaller animals. Mesh size is chosen based on the application during the site visit.
Post Gauge and Spacing
Line posts are typically set 10 feet apart on commercial jobs. Terminal posts at corners, gates, and ends are set in concrete and use heavier gauge tubing than line posts. Post depth is a minimum of 2.5 feet in Central Florida's sandy soil, deeper for taller fences.
Top Rail and Tension Wire
A top rail runs the full length of the fence and keeps the mesh from sagging. Bottom tension wire keeps the fence tight at ground level and prevents animals or people from lifting the bottom of the fence. Both are standard on commercial installations.
Barbed Wire Topping
Three-strand barbed wire on angled arms above the fence line is common on utility, industrial, and high-security properties. Adds 12 inches of height and a visible deterrent. Available on any height of chain link fence.
Finish Options
Chain link fencing from Fences R Us is available in three finish types. Each has a different look, cost, and lifespan.
Which Chain Link Gauge Is Right for Your Job?
Wire gauge determines strength and cost. Lower gauge numbers mean thicker, heavier wire. Use this table to match the right gauge to your application.
| Gauge | Wire Diameter | Best Application | Relative Cost | Recommended By Fences R Us |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 Gauge | 0.120 inches | Light residential, garden, temporary | Lowest | Temporary fencing only |
| 9 Gauge | 0.148 inches | Residential, light commercial, schools | Mid-low | Standard commercial |
| 8 Gauge | 0.162 inches | Commercial, athletic fields, kennels | Mid | Heavy commercial |
| 6 Gauge | 0.192 inches | Industrial, utilities, high-security | Highest | Industrial and utility |
Gauge recommendation is confirmed during the site visit based on your specific application, traffic, and security requirements.
Temporary Chain Link Panels for Construction and Events
Temporary chain link panels are the standard for construction site security, event perimeters, crowd control, and short-term property protection. Fences R Us supplies and installs temporary chain link panels across Marion County and surrounding areas.
Panels are 6 feet tall by 10 feet wide. They stand on weighted base feet and can be connected with couplers to create a continuous barrier. No ground anchoring is needed for most applications.
Setup is fast. A standard construction site perimeter can be up in a few hours. Panels are moved or reconfigured as the job changes, and removed when the project is done.
Common Temporary Fencing Uses
Construction site perimeters, utility work areas, event crowd management, hazard area barriers, outdoor concerts and festivals, and short-term property security during renovations or ownership transitions.
