Security Barbed Wire Fence Project: Nellis Air Force Base

At A1 Fence LV, we take pride in all of our projects from large installations to small repairs. This security barbed wire fence installation around one of the Logistics buildings at Nellis Air Force Base is just such an example.

This job covered 600 feet with a seven (7) foot height and three (3) strands of barbed wire across an asphalt-covered area. The project also required our crew to install a 24-foot double drive access gate.

Military Inspection: Security Barbed Wire Fence

At the close out of any of our projects, the look from a satisfied customer is one of the best parts of the working fencing in Nevada.

On industrial fence projects such as this one, it is especially satisfying as the closeout follows an inspection and sign off by an inspector from the installation.

Even though this project took place on an Air Force base, our security barbed wire fence installation was signed off on by an inspector from the Army Corps of Engineers.

Our crew did an amazing job so the closeout was seamless. Everything was done to according to the initial plan and to our customer’s satisfaction.

Security Chain Link Fence Facts

 

A chain-link fence is typically constructed of galvanized or LLDPE-treated steel wire woven into a variety of shapes. The wires are arranged in a standard pattern but are twisted together in such a way as to allow them to be connected in close proximity without interfering with one another. In this manner, the wires will overlap by several feet when they are laid out completely.

Barbed wire, which is the most commonly used wire for these fences, is twisted onto the overlap, and then formed into either a “round” shape or a “square” shape. The ends of the barbs are then neatly trimmed away to finalize the security barbed wire fence.

The basic function of this type of fence is to prevent unauthorized access to a private property. Depending on the location this can include people, vehicles, and even cattle or other animals.

The use of chain-link fencing is widespread throughout the United States. In addition to security, it can also provide a measure of privacy for those who want to enjoy their outdoor space without being observed by others.

There are many advantages to using chain-link fencing around your home. The fence can be used as a decorative element, especially when it is colored to coordinate with other landscaping features in your yard.

One of the most practical uses for chain-link fencing is around a pool. You can simply make use of chain-link fencing to separate your pool area from the rest of your yard by building a fence that runs along the length of the pool, dividing the water from your yard.

For added protection, you might also choose to add a gate, since chain-link fencing is very durable and sturdy. The fence will be just as strong as any other fence, so it will provide the same level of security.

warehouse partitions: BF Goodrich Distribution Center, North Las Vegas

North Las Vegas Warehouse Partition

Warehouse safety is always a concern and the BF Goodrich distribution center in North Las Vegas is no different.

We were called in to install a hundred feet of 8 ft tall chain link fence to partition the warehouse. This was put in to secure the safety of the work personnel coming through the back door coming into the shop.

Their specialty is in off-road tires, so the selection of selection includes models from each of the four seasons as well as mud and sand resistant options. As with most companies, the selection does not stop with the four-season offerings but also includes a full range of tire designs for off-road use including mud flaps, rock crawlers and aipers.

Each of these designs has its own set of pros and cons and you should carefully think about what you would like before making a purchase.

What is a Shadowbox Fence?

A Shadowbox privacy fence is made by placing fence pickets on both sides of a fence, although there are spaces in between the pickets. Since there is a board between the inside and the outside of the fence, a shadow effect is formed. These fences are usually 6 or 8 feet tall, depending on the homeowner’s preference, budget, and locality, among other factors.

Even though the shadowbox privacy fence is not entirely private, you cannot see what is happening on the other side because the view is obstructed. You will reap the following benefits when you install a shadowbox privacy fence in your Las Vegas property:

1. Enhanced property value

Initially, the cost of installing this fence can make it hard for some people to make a decision. However, if you are planning to sell your home in the future, installing a fence can increase your home’s value. Shadowbox fence improves your curb appeal, thus attracting potential buyers and consequently enhancing your property value. Some fences only improve your curb appeal from the inside, but having the same look both from the inside and outside can play a part in selling your house fast, increasing your resale value, and selling your home with ease.

2. Alternating pickets offer more durability The alternating pickets distribute weight evenly between the rails. Ergo, with proper maintenance practices, the homeowner will not worry about falling pickets or fence sagging after being exposed to different weather conditions. Wood shrinkage was typical in traditional privacy fences. The shrinkage formed gaps between the boards, thus compromising the privacy/visual barrier of the fence. That wood shrinkage has no effect on board to board fence because the alternating pickets compensate for the gaps.
3. These fences hold upwind better than an average privacy fence

Since these fences are not completely solid, the wind passes through them without causing too much stress. The overlaps reduce the impact of wind, thus increasing durability. Las Vegas has two very windy seasons every year; therefore, investing in a privacy fence that can withstand such conditions offers value for money. Additionally, if you live or own a property in nearby cities like Summerlin, Henderson, Boulder, and Pahrump, you should consider installing a shadowbox fence to get a high Return on Investment (ROI).

4. Both sides look the same

Having the same look on either side is one of the reasons why these fences are more stylish than a basic privacy fence. Basic privacy fences only have one pretty side, but with shadowboxes, there is no front or the back because both sides look the same. With shadowboxes, your property will have a more pleasing look from either side, boost your curb appeal, and improve the landscape.

Hiring a professional company that offers shadowbox fencing is the first step to enjoying the benefits we have discussed above.

Different Types of Automatic Gate Openers – Which is Suitable for Your Property?

The fencing is perhaps the most important determinant of your property’s curb appeal and security. But there are numerous other considerations to be made when deciding the fencing material and gate system, including functionality, ease of use, maintenance, access control, and more, which is why many prefer automatic gates with access control systems for their residential/commercial properties. Here, we list different automatic gate openers to get you acquainted with what’s available on the market and what will work best for your automatic gate.

How Does an Automatic Gate Opener Work?

There are two main types of automatic gate openers, hydraulic or electromechanical. Hydraulic gates rely on the use of hydraulic fluids to power the gate opener, whereas electromechanical gates draw power from the property’s main electricity supply. To ensure the gate system remains operational even during a blackout, many property owners also install solar-powered systems.

Types of Automatic Gate Openers

Your choice of automatic gate operator will vary by the type of gate, the size, weight, landscape, budget, and more. Experts at A1Fence can help determine which gate opener is ideal for your property. Mentioned below are the three most common automatic gate openers.

Articulated Gate Opener

If functionality is your primary concern, and appearance is not much of a consideration for your property’s fencing, the articulated gate opener is an excellent option.  The system consists of an articulated hinged arm extending from the motor, which is attached to a post or pillar next to the gate. The hinged arm is attached to the gate and acts as the pincer.

The articulated gate opener is only suitable for swing gates and does require a substantial amount of space for the motor; thus, it is only suitable for gates with wide pillars and posts.

Underground Gate Opener

The underground or in-ground gate opener is ideal for those looking for near-invisible fixtures. It features an underground actuator arm, controlled by a separate control box. For the system to work, the drive shaft of the actuator arm has to be in line with the hinges allowing the arm to swing open the gate; thus, the system is ideal only for swing gates.

Sliding Gate Opener

If the driveway behind the gates is set on a steep path, sliding gates are a better option. Sliding gates rest on a set of wheels running on a metal track and are ideal for both residential and commercial properties. You can opt for a commercial sliding gate opener, featuring a heavy-duty mechanism for heavy commercial gates or a simple residential gate operator for lighter sliding gates.

Your choice of automatic gate opener will depend on the setting, gate type, weight of the gate, gate type, desired functionality, and more. Contact A1Fence today for a detailed consultation on which automatic gate opener will be ideal for your property. Our goal is to offer the best possible fencing solution for our clients. Thus, we also provide access control systems to enhance the safety, security and functionality of the gate system.
