Lubbock, Texas · South Plains
Commercial fence in Lubbock runs on a different rulebook than a backyard. Heights, materials and placement all change once a property is commercial, mixed-use or industrial. We build fence for offices, retail centers, churches, rental properties, shops and equipment yards, and we start by checking which rules your zoning district triggers.
Nonresidential and mixed-use fences top out at 8 feet. Outside the IP, LI and GI districts, any fence or gate taller than 4 feet can't extend past the building's front facade. Hotels have one exception: a 6-foot ornamental metal fence that is less than 50 percent opaque may go past the facade.
Masonry, or any sustainable material with more than a 30-year life expectancy; ornamental metal; cedar or redwood; composite; vinyl; wooden split rail or painted pipe rail on parcels of an acre or more. Other wooden picket fences need metal posts, brackets and caps, with chemically pre-treated horizontal members at least 2 by 4 inches.
Sheet, roll or corrugated metal, electrified components, and plywood or other cast-off materials are out. Chain link and razor wire are prohibited too, except where the code provides for them.
For industrial uses in the LI and GI districts, Lubbock allows security fencing up to 10 feet, and chain link and barbed wire are permitted materials. Barbed wire must also meet the City's adopted building codes. We build chain link with barbed-wire arms, cantilever slide gates for truck traffic, and man gates with keyed or coded access for yards, shops and equipment storage.
Solid cedar, composite or masonry-and-metal screens for dumpsters, loading areas and the property line next to homes.
A durable, approved-material look for frontages, churches and multifamily entries.
Slide and swing operators with access control, built to UL 325 and ASTM F2200. See automatic gate openers.
We plan around when your business is open, keep a lane open for customers or trucks, and call in Texas 811 locates at least 48 hours ahead, not counting weekends and holidays. Private lines like lot lighting and irrigation aren't marked by the utilities, so we ask for your site drawings.
