Institutional Fence & Wall Installation Across Florida

The best fence for Florida schools depends on your specific campus needs and budget:

• Ornamental aluminum: Most popular for school perimeters — professional appearance, child-safe picket designs without climb-assist features, maintenance-free, and available in school colors. Ideal for main campus perimeters and visitor-facing areas.
• Vinyl-coated chain link: Cost-effective for athletic fields, service areas, and budget-conscious districts. Available in school colors. Standard for baseball backstops, tennis courts, and sports facilities.
• Precast concrete walls: Maximum security for high-risk areas or schools adjacent to high-traffic roads. Provides noise reduction and complete visual screening.

Many schools use a combination: ornamental aluminum for the main perimeter and parent areas, chain link for athletic facilities, and concrete walls where sound or security concerns exist.

Child-safe fence design incorporates several important features:

• No climb-assist features: Horizontal rails or decorative elements that could serve as footholds are avoided or placed at heights that don't assist climbing
• Appropriate picket spacing: Spacing that prevents head entrapment — typically 4 inches or less per playground safety guidelines
• Smooth finishes: No sharp edges, pointed picket tops (spear-style), or protruding hardware that could cause injury
• Secure gate latches: Self-closing, self-latching gates with child-resistant hardware
• Appropriate height: Heights sufficient to prevent climbing while not creating entrapment hazards

Our school fence installations comply with ASTM playground safety guidelines and local building codes. We specifically recommend fence designs that have been evaluated for child safety in playground and school applications.

We install school fencing year-round and coordinate with your administration to minimize disruption:

• Summer installation: Ideal for major perimeter projects when campus is less active
• School year installation: Possible with proper coordination — we establish secure work zones separated from student areas
• Weekend and holiday work: Available for projects that must minimize weekday disruption
• Phased installation: Complete sections at a time to maintain partial perimeter security throughout the project

We understand school district construction requirements and work with your facilities team to develop installation schedules that protect students while completing projects efficiently. Emergency repairs are available year-round through our repair services.

Church fencing should balance security with a welcoming appearance appropriate for a worship facility:

• Ornamental aluminum: Classic, elegant appearance that provides security without a "fortress" feel. Available in black, bronze, and white finishes that complement most church architecture.
• Decorative precast concrete: For larger campuses or churches with schools, provides permanent security with stone or brick-look finishes that match sanctuary architecture.
• Vinyl fencing: Clean white appearance appropriate for memorial gardens, children's areas, and properties where traditional aesthetics are desired.

Many churches use different fencing for different areas: ornamental aluminum for street-facing perimeters, vinyl for children's ministry areas, and precast concrete for parking lot security. Monument signs with church identification are also popular.

Yes. Children's ministry areas require the same child-safe design features as schools:

• Child-safe fence designs without climb-assist features
• Self-closing, self-latching gates with child-resistant hardware
• Appropriate picket spacing to prevent entrapment
• Secure perimeters that keep children in and unauthorized persons out
• Good visibility for supervision from inside buildings

We often recommend vinyl or ornamental aluminum for children's areas — both provide safety, durability, and easy maintenance while creating inviting outdoor spaces for ministry programs. Many churches also install fencing around playgrounds to clearly separate children's areas from parking lots.

Healthcare facility fencing must address several specialized requirements:

• ADA accessibility: Gates and access points must meet ADA requirements for width, hardware operation, and clearances. Automatic gate operators with appropriate safety features are often required.
• Emergency access: Perimeter design must accommodate emergency vehicle entry while maintaining security
• Patient safety: For behavioral health facilities, anti-climb and anti-ligature designs may be required
• Patient gardens: Secure healing gardens with appropriate fencing that is attractive yet prevents elopement
• Controlled access: Multiple controlled access points for staff, visitors, patients, and deliveries

We work with healthcare facility managers and security consultants to design perimeters that meet both patient care needs and security requirements.

Yes. Memory care and behavioral health facilities require specialized fencing to protect patients:

• Anti-climb designs: Fencing without horizontal rails or other features that facilitate climbing
• Appropriate heights: Typically 6-8 feet depending on patient population and risk assessment
• Secure gates: Delayed-egress or alarmed gates that allow staff response time
• Attractive appearance: Designs that look like garden fencing rather than institutional barriers
• Complete perimeters: No gaps or areas where patients could exit unsupervised

Our precast concrete walls and certain aluminum fence designs are appropriate for these applications. We recommend consultation with your facility's clinical and security staff to determine appropriate specifications.
