Choosing fencing for a commercial property in Vernon BC or around the North Okanagan can feel a bit overwhelming if you’re not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but don’t worry, Blue Rhino Fence can totally help! 


When it comes to securing your commercial or industrial property in Vernon BC or around the North Okanagan, choosing the right type of commercial fence doesn’t have to feel like rocket science. Different types of commercial fences offer a range of benefits, from cost-effectiveness to durability and aesthetic appeal, it just depends on your needs and the look you want.


In this blog post about commercial fencing for North Okanagan property owners, we’ll explore the various options available for Vernon and North Okanagan commercial property owners looking to protect and screen your properties with the right kind of fence.


Types of Fencing for Commercial Properties in Vernon BC

The great thing about fences for commercial and industrial properties is that they have come a long way since the days of only having a choice of chain link or wood fences. Nowadays, we surround commercial properties with industrial chain link or corrugated metal or custom treated wood fences built to the specs of local municipalities (something we covered, in depth, in last month’s blog!). 


Below, we’ll run through the most common industrial fence options that Blue Rhino Fence installs and we’ll explain which types of commercial properties do best with which type of fencing!




Commercial Chain Link Fences: Cost-effective solutions for properties that don’t need to hide their contents from the public.

Commercial or industrial-strength chain link fences stand out as a stellar option for business owners keen on securing their commercial or industrial spaces without breaking the bank. 


Made up of a network of steel wires interlocked in a diamond pattern, these fences strike an impressive balance between resilience and visibility, ensuring your property is well-protected while maintaining clear visibility on both sides of the fence. The inherent strength of commercial chain link structures and their ability to weather the elements without skipping a beat make them a practical choice for any enterprise looking to safeguard its perimeter efficiently. Furthermore, the adaptability of chain link fences allows for a seamless integration into virtually any landscape, complementing your property's existing aesthetic rather than detracting from it.

Best of all, the low maintenance requirements of industrial chain link fences means you can set your sights on your business’s day-to-day operations instead of wasting a lot of time or effort maintaining a large perimeter of fencing. Also, for small and large Vernon BC businesses navigating the fine line between cost and quality, commercial chain link fences offer a solution that ticks all the boxes, proving that security need not come at a steep price.


3 Ways Chain Link Fencing can be used for commercial fencing purposes:

Perimeter Fencing (aka a fence that surrounds your entire commercial property for security and safety).

Impound or Compound-type structures in parkades or other industrial spaces (aka, a sectioned off area that will contain items, such as impounded cars, or create a barrier between customers paying for vehicle security in a parkade and those parking for free).

Safety barriers to surround flammable or harmful substances (such as propane tanks or gas storage facilities).

Corrugated Steel and Aluminum Fences: Durable Privacy with Low Upkeep

When you're looking for fences that offer an unbeatable combination of strength, privacy, and style for your commercial property in the North Okanagan, corrugated metal fences are great go-to options.

Not only do they present a formidable barrier against intruders and would-be thieves, but they also look really sharp, provide perfect privacy, and need little to no maintenance (if you choose the full metal panels on metal fence posts option). What sets steel and aluminium fences apart from other forms of commercial fencing is their remarkable versatility in design. Whether your aesthetic leans towards a certain colour or  a sleek and contemporary look, or you have a penchant for more traditional styles, these materials can be tailored to reflect your business's unique brand and ethos. Here at Blue Rhino Fence, we use a local powder coating company to customise corrugated metal panels and posts to suit our customer’s vision.


Additionally, their resistance to rust (especially in the case of aluminium) reinforces that minimal maintenance requirement and ensures that your fence will remain as striking and sturdy as the day it was installed. Elevating both the security and the curb appeal of your commercial property in Vernon BC, corrugated metal fences stand as steadfast guardians that never compromise on either form or function.


If you like the look of a corrugated metal fence and are wondering if it would work for your commercial property, call us or get in touch today! We can show you all sorts of ways to use these fences to enhance the appeal and up the security for your business.  


Wood and Vinyl Fences: For Aesthetic Appeal and Privacy

If you’re aiming to strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and privacy, wood and vinyl fences emerge as top contenders for commercial properties.




Custom treated wood fences offer an unmatched warmth and timeless beauty, effortlessly elevating the appearance of any commercial property in Vernon with old school, traditional charm. Custom treated wood fences exude a classic vibe, bringing an inviting atmosphere to your business’s exterior. 

On the flip side, vinyl fences present a sleek, low-maintenance alternative that can mimic the look of wood or present in various modern styles, such as white, which is perfect for a contemporary aesthetic.


Both wood and vinyl fencing materials boast considerable flexibility in design, allowing for a myriad of customization options, including colours and design. Whether you’re envisioning a cozy, secluded area for your customers to hang out or a stylish boundary that stands out, wood and vinyl can be tailored to meet those visions. Vinyl, in particular, shines in its ease of care, resisting weather damage and fading over time, ensuring your property maintains its allure with minimal effort.


Incorporating wood or vinyl fencing into your North Okanagan commercial or industrial space will enhance its visual appeal and fortify your property with a layer of privacy, creating a sanctuary for your operations. Sure, treated wood will require yearly maintenance and repair as it ages, but if you’re willing to put in the time and effort, it will continue to look amazing surrounding your business!
