Parks & Rec

Parks and recreation departments provide an important service to Americans across the country. They support public health and wellness and provide an opportunity for communities to come together. For facilities to function and remain safe and secure, though, they often need netting, fences, gates, and other products.

Long® Fence provides a wide range of products for public parks and recreation areas. Our services include furnishing and installing park fencing, paver walkways, tennis court fencing, baseball fencing, golf netting, pool netting, and parking lot gates, as well as decks and wooden trails. All of our products are durable and user-friendly, balancing the need for function with visual appeal. They can be customized to meet your specific size requirements and security needs.

Community Pools

Community pools are excellent recreational facilities for the public, but they require a fence installer you can trust to meet all safety requirements and not skimp on quality or security.

At Long® Fence, all of our pool fences are specifically designed to enhance public safety. We fully understand and follow all local and federal safety regulations, but also go above and beyond to ensure the highest level of safety and visual appeal. In addition to traditional pool fencing, we also provide anti-climb pool fences and gates for public pools that require anti-trespassing measures during off-hours.

We offer ornamental iron, aluminum, vinyl, and chain link pool fencing and gates. Aluminum is a popular choice for providing safety while also keeping the space open and visually clear with little maintenance. Aluminum would be lower maintenance, but iron offers the strength that these type applications can call for. Vinyl provides more privacy, while chain link fencing is an excellent low-cost alternative. Regardless of the material you choose, we will work with you to find the perfect style, height, and placement of the fence.

Bollards & Anti-Ram Barriers

Vehicles pose a significant threat to pedestrians. Shopping centers, heavily-trafficked sidewalks, banks, parking garages, and important government properties often need bollards or anti-ram barriers to protect public safety.

A bollard is a steel post set in concrete that is strong enough to stop a vehicle in its tracks. You’ll often see them painted yellow to make them easily visible to cars. They are a great way to protect pedestrian areas and other public spaces or important buildings from vehicles. Bollards are most useful when you want to keep a space open for pedestrians but closed to vehicular traffic. Anti-ram barriers are strong, ornamental-style fences that are reinforced with steel bollard and cable systems. They are designed to stop even the largest and strongest vehicles from breaking through to a secure government facility. As opposed to bollards, anti-ram barriers are best used when access is entirely restricted from both pedestrians and vehicles.

Barbed Wire Fences

Many government facilities require barbed wire fences to protect public safety or prevent trespassers. Barbed wire fences are highly effective when installed correctly.

You can trust Long® Fence to furnish and install secure, high-quality barbed wire fences to protect government properties. Our team will work with you to meet your budgetary and time-related needs and tailor the fence’s size and design to meet your specifications.

Highway Guardrails

Highway guardrails protect public safety by preventing vehicles from running off the road at dangerous points. We work closely with many State Highway Administrations and local Department of Transportation entities as well as parks and recreational divisions. In addition to the standard galvanized steel guard rail we also offer cor-ten and timber guard rail options when such options best fit the intended use.

At Long® Fence, we provide strong highway guardrails made of galvanized steel that meet all regulations and codes. We work closely with park and recreational divisions to ensure the guardrails are installed in the best possible locations to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.

Automated Gates

In many government facilities and parking areas, automatic gates provide an excellent means of controlling access to restricted areas. We provide a number of different types of automated gates. The barrier arm gate is a simple yet effective way to control traffic entering or exiting an area. For a touch of more security, a swing gate is a secure and visually appealing option. If there is not enough space for a swing gate, consider installing a cantilever slide gate. Instead of swinging inward or outward, a sliding gate slides on wheels horizontally, allowing cars to pass. An overhead tracking gate or vertical lift gates are also good options when space is limited. For maximum security, Long® Fence also offers an anti-ram gate that will prevent many types of vehicles from ramming through.

All of our automatic gates can be customized to meet your agency’s individual needs. They are motorized and can be operated from any nearby security outpost or office. We offer only high-quality materials that will provide strong, durable, highly-secure gates.

Temporary Fences

In addition to permanent fences, Long® Fence offers temporary fences, including portable fence panels, gates, pedestrian barricades, temporary in-ground fencing, and anti-climb panels. These fences protect the public during events, control vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and prevent trespassing on construction sites. We also offer silt fences to reduce harmful runoff and erosion from construction sites, as well as snow fences to control snowdrifts.

Our temporary fencing services include everything from furnishing the fence, to installation, to clean up. We will ensure that all regulations are met and work closely with you to meet all of your needs on time and on budget. Whatever your needs may be, give us a call, and we’ll work to meet them. We offer free consultation.
