Commercial sites in Queens range from warehouses in Long Island City and Maspeth to auto lots on Northern Boulevard, cargo and trucking yards near the airports, schools, houses of worship and apartment buildings. Outside residence districts the New York City Building Code allows fences up to 10 feet, which leaves room for real security fencing. We install galvanized and coated chain link, steel picket and welded panels, and we look at the zoning for each side of the lot, because a line that borders a residence district may be treated differently.
Gates decide how well a site works. Truck entrances need wide openings that survive daily use, snow and the odd bump from a trailer. A cantilever slide gate has no ground track to fill with ice or debris. We size the posts and footings for the gate weight and for the ground, which near the East River and Newtown Creek is often old fill with buried rubble. Operators, keypads and card readers can be added, with the electrical work done by a licensed electrician.
Building sites need fencing too. We set up temporary panels and gates for construction and renovation jobs across the borough and take them away when the work ends. For apartment buildings and stores we build dumpster enclosures, storage cages and steel guard rails for parking areas. Every dig starts with a New York 811 ticket, and on a slab or a parking deck we use surface-mounted posts instead of digging.
Commercial & security fencing in Queens: common questions
How tall can a commercial fence be in Queens?
The New York City Building Code allows fences up to 10 feet outside residence districts. In residence districts the limit is lower, though fences that go with nonresidential buildings and public playgrounds there may reach 15 feet. We check the zoning for your lot.
Can you fence a lot that is all asphalt or concrete?
Yes. Posts are core drilled through the paving and set in concrete below it, or mounted on steel base plates anchored to the slab. On a parking deck or over a vault, surface mounting is the only option, and we confirm what is underneath first.
Do you provide temporary fencing for construction sites?
Yes. We deliver, set up and remove temporary fence panels and gates for construction, renovation and event sites in Queens. Tell us the length, the dates and whether you need privacy screening.
