A Cleveland Fence Company with a Reputation for Excellence
R&T Fence has installed and repaired fences across Northeast Ohio for more than 36 years, including in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County communities like Lakewood, Parma, Parma Heights, Strongsville, Westlake, and Shaker Heights.
We're not a franchise, and we don't send out subcontractors. The same crew that walks your property for an estimate is the crew that shows up to build. That's how we operate: one crew, working residential and commercial jobs side by side, backed by material and workmanship warranties on everything we install.

Commercial Fence Installation in Cleveland
R&T Fence installs commercial and industrial fencing for businesses, facilities, and properties throughout Cleveland and the surrounding Cuyahoga County area. Commercial fence projects need to support how a property operates every day, from securing the perimeter to controlling access, improving privacy, directing traffic flow, and presenting a professional appearance.
Our team installs durable perimeter and access solutions for Cleveland-area warehouses, manufacturing facilities, industrial sites, equipment yards, offices, retail properties, multifamily communities, institutional properties, and other commercial locations. We help business owners, property managers, and facility teams evaluate security needs, gate placement, visibility, screening, vehicle movement, pedestrian access, and long-term maintenance requirements.
Depending on the site, that may mean commercial-gauge chain link for efficient perimeter control, ornamental aluminum for a clean street-facing appearance, wood screening for privacy, or steel fencing for higher-security applications. Cleveland commercial properties often require practical planning around alleys, loading areas, shared boundaries, parking lots, sidewalks, and high-traffic corridors. Every project is completed by R&T Fence’s own crews, without passing the work to subcontractors.

Fence Types We Install in Cleveland
We install and repair five fence types across Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Which one fits your property depends on your budget, how much privacy you want, and how much upkeep you're willing to take on.
Wood Fence
Wood fence is a common choice for commercial and industrial settings. Our wood fences are pressure-treated pine, built board-on-board, shadowbox, or picket style, and matched to an existing gate or structure when needed.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link marks a boundary without the cost of a solid privacy fence, and we install it on both homes and commercial sites throughout Cleveland. We use galvanized and vinyl-coated chain link in a range of heights and gauges, including the all-black commercial-grade style behind a recent fuel tank security project for Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Cleveland.
Vinyl Fence
Vinyl fence gives commercial property owners the look of painted wood without the recurring maintenance. Northeast Ohio winters are hard on thin, big-box vinyl, cracking and yellowing panels within a few years. Ours is made to eliminate it.
Aluminum Fence
Aluminum fence holds up well through Cleveland's freeze-thaw winters without rusting the way uncoated steel can. It skips the rust entirely, which is part of why it holds up so well in Cleveland.
Steel Fence
For Cleveland businesses along the city's industrial and freight corridors, steel gives more strength and security than aluminum, and it's what we recommend on sites with exposed boundaries or a higher security need

What To Do Next
Once you decide to move forward with your Cleveland fence project, here's what working with R&T Fence looks like from your first call to the finished installation.
Step 1 — Sign Up for Your Free Estimate
We'll send a sales representative to your home or business in Cleveland to discuss your fencing needs and provide a free, no-obligation estimate.
Step 2 — Secure Your Spot
Once you sign and return the proposal, along with a deposit if one's required, we start scheduling. Permits in Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs get filed on your behalf before installation begins.
Step 3 — Fence Installation
Timelines depend on fence style, material, and length. Some fences are finished in a day or two; others need up to a week to go from setting posts to completing the installation.
Step 4 — Enjoy the End Result
In Cleveland, we back every fence with material and installation warranties, protection that carries past the final walkthrough.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cleveland Fence Installation
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Cleveland?
It depends on height and use. Fences over 6 feet need a permit, and any fence used as a pool barrier needs one regardless of height. Commercial and industrial fences need a permit, no matter the height. R&T Fence handles that filing as part of your installation once your project is scheduled.
How tall can my fence be in Cleveland?
Front-yard and side-street-yard fences are limited to 4 feet and must be at least half open. One exception: a side-street-yard fence set back at least 4 feet from the property line can reach 6 feet and be solid or open. Rear yards and interior side yards allow up to 6 feet, solid or open.
Do Cuyahoga County suburbs like Parma or Lakewood have different rules than Cleveland?
Yes. Parma, Lakewood, Strongsville, Westlake, and the other suburbs we serve each run their own building department and zoning code. Parma, for example, won't allow a corner-lot fence to sit closer to the street than the house itself. We confirm the specific rule for your address before filing any permit.
Will my HOA affect my fence project?
Many neighborhoods in Cuyahoga County suburbs have an HOA with its own rules on materials, height, or color, on top of city zoning. We ask about HOA requirements during your estimate so the fence we design clears both the city and the association.
How much does a fence cost in Cleveland?
Cost depends on material, fence length, number of gates, and terrain, all of which vary from property to property. Rather than publish a flat rate that wouldn't hold up across Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, we provide a free, no-obligation estimate at your property.
How long does installation take?
Most residential fences are finished in a day or two once materials are on-site and posts are set. Larger commercial jobs, like a multi-gate perimeter or a fence mounted to existing concrete, can take longer.
