Fencing for commercial
The commercial market is procurement-driven. Where residential is quote-and-install in days, commercial is RFP-to-CCDC-contract in months. Our bid desk responds to CCDC 2 stipulated-price contracts, CCDC 5B construction-management contracts, and provincial procurement formats (MERX nationally, SEAO Quebec, BC Bid, SaskTenders, BuyandSell.gc.ca federally). Typical municipal turn-around 5–10 working days from RFP issue to submission, including a technical proposal, pricing schedule with prevailing-wage rates, references, bonding documentation, and CSA-stamped engineering for any structural perimeter or security fence.
Common commercial applications: school-board perimeter (6′ chain-link with vinyl coating or 8′ welded-mesh 358 for anti-climb), parking-lot enclosure (4′–6′ ornamental aluminum or wrought-iron for retail facades; 6′ commercial chain-link for industrial), retail-yard fencing (8′ chain-link with privacy slats or solid mesh for landscape-supply yards and contractor depots), hospital and campus access control (decorative aluminum at public-facing perimeters, anti-climb steel at service yards, automated gate operators), and municipal park perimeter (4′ aluminum ornamental in the city-spec colour, often with custom pedestrian gates).
Compliance documentation as standard deliverable: stamped engineering drawings, CSA installation certificates, manufacturer mill-test certificates for galvanized class verification, prevailing-wage payroll records on demand, and CCDC closeout packages.
Common commercial segments:
Office parks and business campuses specify welded wire mesh or palisade for perimeter security, with ornamental aluminum for the building-facing parking lot edges. Heights typically 1.8–2.4 m, with self-closing pedestrian gates and motorized vehicle gates.
Retail centres use lighter-duty chain-link for back-of-house yards and decorative aluminum for customer-facing patios. Shopping mall perimeters and big-box parking lots often run 300+ LF of continuous fence.
Industrial yards (manufacturing, warehousing, logistics) require 2.4–3.0 m chain-link with barbed wire toppers or palisade. CCDC-2 stipulated for projects $250k+.
Healthcare (hospitals, clinics) specifies ornamental aluminum or steel for ambulance bay separation and chain-link with windscreen for HVAC enclosures. Healthcare-grade hinges meet CSA Z8000 infection-control standards.
Office tower terraces and rooftop patios use frameless glass guardrails rated to NBC 4.1.5 wind and seismic loads, with engineering stamps.
Fenced.ca handles CCDC-2 contracts, P.Eng-stamped drawings, and bilingual project documentation across all provinces. We've completed 200+ commercial projects in 2024–2026.
