A damaged fence isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a security vulnerability. Whether it’s a vehicle hit, vandalism, cut sections, wind damage, or a gate that no longer closes, a broken commercial fence instantly puts your property at risk.
At On The Level Fencing, we provide fast, reliable commercial fence repair across Greater Sudbury for property managers, industrial yards, plazas, apartment complexes, and businesses that can’t afford downtime or exposure.
Here’s what creates the biggest security risks — and how proper commercial repair prevents problems before they escalate.
1. Vehicle Impacts: The #1 Cause of Commercial Fence Damage
Plaza parking lots, apartment complexes, loading areas, and industrial yards deal with accidental impacts constantly.
When a vehicle pushes in a fence panel or bends posts:
The perimeter becomes open
Trespassers can enter easily
Liability increases
Equipment and assets are exposed
Tenants feel unsafe
Fast repair matters. We remove damaged sections, replace posts, reset footings, and re-tension the fence to restore security quickly.
2. Cut or Breached Fencing: Easy Access for Theft
Businesses with stored equipment, vehicles, or valuable materials are frequent targets. Cut chain link or pried-open gates are a clear sign someone was trying to get inside.
Proper repair includes:
Replacing the cut mesh
Installing tension wire
Securing weak points
Adding barbed wire or security upgrades if needed
A small breach can turn into a major loss if left unattended.
3. Gate Issues: The Most Overlooked Security Risk
A sagging gate or broken latch is an open invitation.
Common problems include:
Bent gate frames
Worn hinges
Misaligned posts
Locking hardware failure
Ground shift affecting gate swing
We repair or replace gate hardware, re-square the frame, adjust posts, and install proper commercial-grade latches.
A fence is only as secure as its gate.
4. Weather Damage: Snow, Wind, and Frost Heave
In Northern Ontario, commercial fencing is constantly fighting the elements.
Windstorms and frost heave can:
Tilt posts
Loosen mesh
Break rails
Lift footings
Create gaps animals or trespassers can slip through
Addressing these early prevents:
Larger repairs
Structural failure
Insurance issues
We stabilize posts, reset footings, and restore line tension.
5. Why Fast Commercial Repair Matters
Leaving a fence damaged isn’t just risky — it can cost you far more in the long run.
Businesses face:
Theft of tools, materials, or equipment
Unauthorized entry
Vandalism
Tenant complaints
Property manager liability
Increased insurance exposure
Sudbury properties need durable, secure, and reliable fencing, especially in high-traffic or industrial areas.
That’s where we come in.
