Commercial Chain Link Fence Installation in Santa Barbara
When it comes to securing commercial properties, functionality, durability, and cost-effectiveness are essential. That’s exactly why a local business in Santa Barbara partnered with 805 Fence Company for their fencing needs. We recently completed the installation of a commercial chain link safety rail on a loading dock, delivering a practical and efficient solution for the customer.
The Scope of the Project
The client required a sturdy safety rail to protect their commercial loading dock, ensuring the safety of workers and equipment. The chain link safety rail was designed to be 4 feet high and constructed using commercial-grade materials. This height is optimal for preventing accidental falls while maintaining visibility at the dock.
One of the key considerations for the project was ensuring that the safety rail provided better security than traditional handrails. Chain link safety rails offer a significant advantage in this regard, as they prevent individuals from crawling underneath, a common risk associated with conventional handrails. This added layer of security made chain link the ideal choice for the client’s needs.
Our team worked closely with the client to determine the most cost-effective and durable installation method. At the customer’s request, we welded plates to the bottoms of the posts, allowing them to be securely anchored in concrete. This approach provided a solid foundation while saving installation costs. Alternatively, the posts could have been secured by core drilling holes into the concrete loading dock, but the welded-plate method proved to be more budget-friendly for the client.
Materials and Installation Process
For this job, we used high-quality commercial-grade top rails and posts. The chain link safety rail was built to be exceptionally durable, capable of withstanding the heavy activity that often occurs at loading docks. To anchor the fence, the customer’s request for welded plates was implemented with precision. Our welders attached plates to the bottoms of the posts, and each post was expertly bolted into the concrete surface for a secure fit.
This method not only met the client’s safety requirements, but also fit within their budget by avoiding the more labor-intensive core drilling alternative. The end result was a clean, professional, and sturdy installation that exceeded expectations. Additionally, the chain link design prevented access from underneath the rail, offering superior safety compared to traditional handrail systems.
Challenges Faced and Solutions
While the installation went smoothly, the project required careful attention to detail. One challenge was to ensure that the safety rail aligned perfectly with the loading dock’s edge, maintaining consistent spacing and height for both safety and aesthetic purposes. By using precision measurements and ensuring the welded plates were perfectly level, we achieved seamless alignment.
Additionally, as Santa Barbara’s climate can present exposure to salt air and humidity, we used materials resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability.
