Vinyl fences are also difficult to climb due to their smooth and strong design, providing an added degree of defense against unauthorized entrance. Our skilled staff can suggest and install the appropriate security solutions for your commercial property.

Fence height and design requirements vary according to municipal zoning legislation, building codes, and property-specific regulations. It is important to consult with your local building department or municipal office to determine any restrictions that may apply to your commercial property. Commercial properties are typically subject to height restrictions to ensure compatibility with neighboring properties and compliance with safety regulations. In addition, certain neighborhoods may have design guidelines in place to ensure aesthetic consistency throughout the community. An experienced business fencing contractor can assist you in understanding these standards and ensuring compliance with all applicable requirements.

We can use any material that we carry, including vinyl, wood, ornamental steel, aluminum, chain link, and even our specialty fence materials, to create your fence gate to your specifications.

Yes, we can! The professionals at Lewis Fence & Deck can walk you through the design and selection process so that we can install the proper gates to accommodate your needs and preferences.

Here are some typical gate options you will need to consider for a new fence installation:

Single/Standard Gates: This single-door gate is usually the same height as the rest of the fence and has one swinging door, which is typically only big enough for one person to walk through. This gate should be reinforced to keep it from sagging and warping, and the latch system should be strategically placed.

Double Gates: While many people opt for a standard gate to allow guests to walk through, they often like to have an additional double gate to allow easy entry for larger items, such as lawn maintenance equipment or recreational vehicles.

Drive Gates: Residential driveway gates add a stunning entry to the property and offer both aesthetic appeal and functionality for homes in Idaho Falls. These manual gates provide an added layer of security and privacy while enhancing the curb appeal of your entrance.

Pool Gates: Although gates and fences can be decorative, their main purpose is to provide security and keep your family safe. When considering a gate for your pool area, keep in mind that many municipalities already have regulations in place, and the experts at Lewis Fence & Deck will ensure that your pool gate will meet those requirements.

A popular choice among our residential customers, having more than one gate offers versatility and convenience. Whether you desire additional access points or require a wider entry for vehicles, recreational vehicles, lawn care equipment, or leisure pursuits, opting for multiple gates can cater to your diverse needs and enhance the functionality of your property.
