Commercial fencing in Tucson covers a wide range of sites: contractor yards and warehouses near the interstates and the airport, self-storage, apartment communities, schools, churches, auto lots and retail centers. The common thread is a perimeter that controls who gets in, with gates that work every day in heat and dust. We install galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link, ornamental and welded steel, and rolling or swinging gates with operators and keypads.
Desert conditions shape the choices. Sun breaks down thin coatings and plastic slats, so we point customers to finishes rated for strong UV. A long run of chain link with privacy screen acts like a sail in a monsoon downburst, and the posts and footings have to be sized for that. Caliche makes drilling slow but holds a post well once the hole is through it. Where a site borders a wash, solid fencing may be limited by floodplain rules.
In the City of Tucson, the Unified Development Code lets walls and fences in nonresidential zones exceed the usual 6-foot limit when they meet the perimeter yard standards that apply to buildings on the site. The city reviews fences and walls for zoning, and screening walls and trash enclosures are often part of an approved site plan. We look at the approved plan and the zoning for the parcel before we quote, and we tell you what approval the job needs.
Commercial & security fencing in Tucson: common questions
How tall can a commercial fence be in Tucson?
It depends on the zone and where the fence sits on the lot. Tucson's code allows nonresidential fences above 6 feet when they meet the perimeter yard standards for buildings on the site. We confirm the limit for your parcel with the city.
Can you add an automatic gate to an existing fence?
Usually, yes. A gate operator needs sturdy gate posts, a power source and safety devices. We look at the opening, the slope of the drive and how many vehicles use it each day.
Do you fence temporary job sites?
Yes. We set up temporary panels for construction sites and events, and we can add gates and screening. Tell us the length and the dates.
