A Commercial Fence Can Protect Your Property![]()
Protecting your commercial property from intruders should be at the top of every business owner’s list. There are several options for you to consider when adding protection to your commercial property. Make sure you have all the necessary information before making an informed decision. Here are some of the best ways for you to protect your property.
Cameras: Several options will help you protect your property from simple to sophisticated cameras. While cameras are great for protecting your commercial property, this form of protection typically only allows you to record criminal acts that are already taking place. You can then use that footage to try and find the culprit. Sometimes having cameras on the premises will deter a criminal from acting in the first place, but not always. Cost: When it comes to the cost of this form of protection for your commercial property, it can vary widely. It depends on how many cameras you plan to install and how high-end they will be. A quote from a professional security camera company is best to determine what will work best for you and your business. Dog: A guard dog can be an affordable form of security for your commercial property, but it does come with some risks. There is always the possibility that even the best dog will attack someone and leave you with a lawsuit. One advantage of a guard dog is that it isn’t as much of a passive form of security as a camera. Many thieves and vandals won’t want the hassle of dealing with a guard dog. The loud barking and growling can scare them. If not, the dog will usually prevent the crime by acting aggressively toward the culprit. Cost: The cost of this form of protection is relatively cheap. You will need to pay for the regular care of a dog, such as veterinary care, food, and water. Fence: Commercial fencing can be an excellent barrier to outsiders and crime. Depending on the type of fence, it can work well to keep those you don’t want in your business on the outside. Cost: The initial installation can be costly, but there isn’t typically much upkeep cost with a fence. Some criminals will avoid the hassle of getting around the fence altogether. A high, sturdy fence is the best for protecting commercial property. For more information, please call us at Geo Brother’s Fence for a quote on what will work best for you and your business.

Springtime, the time for fence repair.![]()
Ice dams, wind storms, blizzards, frost heaves, and snow are wreaking havoc on us and our homes and businesses. Spring will come inevitably. When it does show up, the light will shed on the many problems property owners have in store.
Areas of concern will be roofing, gutters, downspouts, asphalt, awns, basement flooding, and especially fences. Snow has been shoveled, piled, and plowed on any fence by Bob, your Neighbor, and Mother Nature herself. It has not only been snow, but record low temperatures, which cause frost heaves that push and pull posts and undermine the fence’s level and stability. And I would bet your gates out of whack just like your back – from all that shoveling. Most fences will need minor adjustments and gates to be rehung. Repairs can be made, so have no fear.
