Do I Need a Commercial Fence?
Business owners and landlords are continuously finding ways to improve their business and keep their company safe. A commercial fence is an affordable and simple way to benefit your company without breaking a budget. While some business owners enjoy the idea of a commercial fence, others fail to realize what a commercial fence can do for a business.
A commercial fence will help your business appear safe, secure, and welcoming. A commercial fence will show that a business owner cares about their business while also allowing the store front to be welcoming for new clients or customers. A commercial fence will also keep your business private. Should your storefront allow strangers to see inside as they pass by, a fence will keep your customers out of sight. Many customers and clients will approve of a business that values the privacy of their customers.
A commercial fence will also keep your business secure. Fencing will deter criminal activity around your business while also allowing your customers to feel safe. Many insurance companies will also give breaks for commercial properties that include a commercial fence. Some fencing materials can also be fitted with additional security applications to ensure your business remains safe and secure. The fencing materials that owners can choose from when deciding on a new commercial fence include:

Fall Fence Maintenance with Hercules Fence
October is here and fall is finally upon the Mid-Atlantic region. Fall means crisp weather, apple picking, and a new style of yard work. With the changing of the season comes the need for fall fence maintenance. Each fence style requires some type of fall maintenance, depending on the style of fence you have for your home.
Fall Fence Maintenance for your Home
- Wood- Wood fences typically require more maintenance in general because of they run a higher risk for damage. During the fall, be sure to remove any debris resting on top or at the base of your wood fence. Leaves around the posts of your fence could lead to rotting and warping of your fence.
- Vinyl- Vinyl fencing requires the least amount of maintenance overall because of the durable materials used to create the fence. Rinsing your fence with soap and water whenever dirt or debris is noticeable will help your vinyl fence last through the fall.
- Aluminum- An aluminum fence also requires a low amount of maintenance generally. During the fall, avoid hanging heavy decorations and keep your fence free of debris.
- Chain Link- During the fall season, consider installing fence slats to increase your overall curb appeal. Remove any debris that happens to get attached to your chain link fence to decrease the chance of rusting.

An excellent option in fencing is aluminum fencing. Aluminum fences have many benefits that should be considered when deciding on a new fence.- Security- Aluminum fencing is difficult to penetrate. Aluminum fencing is not easily cut and the picket design makes it difficult to climb.

Summer Fence Options from Hercules Fence
Summer is on its way, which means plenty of time outside in the sun is ahead. Maybe this is the first summer your son or daughter is old enough to play in the yard alone. This could be the summer when you decide to finally get the puppy you have always wanted, or it’s possible you finally have time to replace the fence that has been on your list since the winter. How do you possibly decide which is right for you? Let Hercules Fence help.Some things for you to consider while making your decision are:
- Budget-How much am I willing to pay?
- Privacy-Do I want the public to see into my yard?
- Materials-Do I need to keep something in or just need decoration?
Let us also look at specific scenarios for needing a fence. If you are buying a fence for the purpose of keeping a dog within a yard, a PVC vinyl fence would be the best option. At Hercules Fence, we use only the most durable material when installing a PVC fence. This will prevent your dog from climbing over the fence or chewing on the fence if he/she gets bored. A PVC vinyl fence would also work well with children in the yard. The fence won’t warp and it will be difficult for them to do any damage to the material. Climbing will also be tough to do as well. A vinyl coated chain link fence from Hercules Fence would suit a child well too. The coating prevents any rusting or damage to take place and will also prevent the child from climbing out of the yard. Anything with larger space like wood railing would be a danger to a child.
If the goal isn’t to keep something in, but to decorate your yard, try a custom wood or ornamental aluminum fence. An aluminum fence compliments any type of landscaping and is able to withstand the elements with little upkeep. A custom wood fence allows you to add a rustic feel to your home, and privacy too if you choose. Wood fences can be used as privacy fences and can be treated or untreated to suit your decorative needs.
At Hercules Fence, we strive to ensure that you choose the fence that’s right for you. With 6 convenient locations, you are sure to find the fence of your dreams with Hercules Fence. Call or visit the location nearest you. Offices are located in:
