Frequently Asked Questions


  • What types of commercial fencing do you install for businesses?

    When it comes to commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA, we understand that every property has different goals and challenges. We install chain link, ornamental steel, aluminum, vinyl, wood, security fencing, temporary construction fencing, and specialty enclosures designed for specific industries. Whether a business needs perimeter security, controlled access, or aesthetic appeal, we provide tailored recommendations based on budget, layout, and long-term performance needs. Our commercial fencing options are built to handle high-traffic environments, weather exposure, and long-term wear, giving business owners confidence that their investment will remain strong for years.



  • How long does commercial fencing installation typically take?

    The installation timeline for commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA varies based on material type, project size, weather conditions, and permitting requirements. A small to mid-sized commercial fence may be completed in a few days, while larger properties or specialty installations can take longer. Before work begins, we provide a clear project schedule so business owners know exactly what to expect. Our team coordinates everything from measurements to material delivery to ensure smooth progress and minimal disruption to daily operations. We work efficiently without sacrificing quality, focusing on craftsmanship and long-term durability so your fence is completed right the first time.



  • Are permits required for commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA?

    Yes, many commercial fencing projects require permits, especially when installing perimeter fencing, security enclosures, or structures near public areas. Regulations vary based on zoning, fence height, property location, and intended use. That's why we guide clients through the entire permitting process for commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA—eliminating confusion and reducing the risk of compliance issues. We work closely with local authorities to ensure all requirements are met before installation begins. Handling permits on behalf of our clients helps streamline the project timeline and ensures every fence installed is legal, safe, and fully aligned with city and county regulations.



  • What is the best material for long-lasting commercial fencing?

    The ideal material for commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA depends on how the fence will be used. For high-security areas, galvanized chain link with optional barbed wire or privacy slats is a durable, cost-effective choice. Businesses seeking strength and visual appeal may prefer iron or ornamental steel fencing. Vinyl is best for low-maintenance privacy fencing, while aluminum offers rust-resistant performance with a refined appearance. Wood is a timeless option that blends naturally into many properties. We assess climate exposure, traffic levels, required security, and design goals to help businesses choose the most durable material for their needs.



  • How do I maintain commercial fencing after installation?

    Ongoing care plays a key role in the lifespan of commercial fencing in Des Moines, IA. Maintenance needs vary by material—wood may require staining or sealing every few years, while vinyl typically needs only periodic washing. Chain link and aluminum fencing benefit from occasional inspections to ensure hardware remains tight and rust-free. For iron or ornamental metal, removing surface rust and applying protective coatings can prevent corrosion over time.
