A commercial enclosure is typically an area or structure with a physical barrier that restricts access. The barrier may be a fence or wall that forms a physical restriction.

These structures are usually purpose-built. And depending on its particular use, the enclosure may have a roof and a lockable door. It can be an extension to the main building or a standalone structure situated anywhere on the premise.

Again, depending on what you intend to use it for, the enclosure can be any size, from a small wooden box a few meters high to a large structure in which people can shelter.

Types Of Commercial Enclosures

Commercial enclosures also offer a secure area where you can store your tools and materials.

Look at it this way. If you need convenient storage away from your customer service areas, it makes sense to build an enclosure out in the back. Here you can think of gasoline-powered generators that you wouldn’t be able to run indoors anyway.

Similarly, at Jay's Fencing we can fashion enclosures to screen off parts of your premises that you want to hide away from visitors.

Typically, these are your waste management, utility, and building maintenance areas.

Examples of commercial enclosures you have likely seen around town include:

  • Garbage bin screens/sheds,
  • Generator sheds,
  • Tool sheds
  • Patio enclosure

The perfect distraction for visitors

If you pick the right materials, your enclosure’s nice-looking wooden fence will be the perfect distraction for visitors who will hopefully concentrate their attention on what you want them to see. On a residential property, a well-built enclosure can spruce up your home’s overall appearance.

What Are The Best Materials for Building Commercial Enclosures?

There are different materials you can use for constructing your enclosure. Your choice will be guided by cost, functional, as well as aesthetic considerations.

Wooden enclosures are cheap and easy to build

For a construction material that is affordable, strong, and which is easy on the eye, cedar is very popular. Wood is a flexible building material to build with and whose structures are fairly easy to maintain.

Wood is also the perfect material for temporary enclosures. It works even better if you want the structure to be movable. You can even build the enclosure as portable panels that you can assemble on-site and disassemble if you have to constantly move sites. A good example here will be a tool shed for a building contractor.

Aluminum and glass are perfect materials for storefront enclosures

If it’s a storefront enclosure for which you are looking to create a more ambient feel, a combination of glass and aluminum never disappoints. The combination produces a chic facade that will accent your storefront.

Vinyl is another material that is cheap but that is not as durable. If you prefer your enclosure to be a strong permanent structure with long service life, steel will be a good option. However, steel is a heavy and expensive material that requires specialized construction skills.
