Hollywood has more commercial ground than people expect: warehouses and yards near Port Everglades and along the rail lines, shops and car lots on State Road 7 and Federal Highway, schools, churches, marinas and apartment buildings. We build chain link, steel and aluminum picket, and privacy screening for these sites, with swing and slide gates sized for the vehicles that use them. The first questions are what you need to keep in or out, who needs to get through, and at what hours.
The city's limits shape the design. Hollywood Code Section 155.12 allows fences up to 8 feet in non-residential zones, and it keeps corner setback areas and view triangles clear so drivers can see. Wind shapes it too. Broward County is in the high-velocity hurricane zone, and a tall fence with slats or windscreen catches far more wind than open mesh. Posts and footings have to be sized for what will be hung on the fence, so tell us at the start if you want screening.
Salt air decides the finish. Bare galvanized steel holds up inland, but east of U.S. 1 we recommend vinyl-coated chain link or powder-coated aluminum, with stainless or coated fittings. For motorized gates we plan the power supply, the safety sensors and emergency access with the gate, not afterward. Work is scheduled around your business hours where possible, and underground utilities are located through Sunshine 811 before any post hole is dug.
Commercial & security fencing in Hollywood: common questions
How tall can a commercial fence be in Hollywood?
Hollywood Code Section 155.12 lists 8 feet for non-residential zones. Corner setback areas are held to 2 feet unless the City Engineer allows up to 4 feet, and view triangles must stay clear between 30 and 72 inches above the ground. We confirm the zoning for your parcel first.
Can I add privacy slats or windscreen to chain link?
Yes, but plan for it. Slats and screen turn open mesh into a surface that catches wind, and in this hurricane zone the posts and footings must be sized for that. Adding screen later to a fence built without it is a common cause of storm failures.
Do you install automatic gates for businesses?
Yes. We install swing and slide gates with operators, keypads and remotes. Tell us the opening width, how many vehicles use it each day and whether trucks need to turn in, and we will recommend a gate type.
