If you are a business owner who has a dumpster on your property, it is important to take steps to protect it from the elements. A dumpster enclosure is a perfect security solution! At Fence Builders Inc., we offer a variety of dumpster enclosures that will keep your dumpster safe and looking great. Our enclosures are made from high-quality materials and are designed to last for many years.
Dumpster Enclosures: Types and Considerations
Do you have a dumpster on your property, work for a waste management company, or use dumpsters regularly for your business? Have you found that people who aren’t paying customers are constantly using your dumpster? Is your dumpster being tagged with graffiti, causing an unsightly appearance? Maybe people aren’t the issue, and your dumpster is constantly being raided by raccoons or other animals.
If any of these ring true, then it may be time to put in a dumpster enclosure, also known as a dumpster corral. A dumpster corral will help keep your dumpster out of the public eye, and it will keep out people and pests alike who may damage or use your dumpster without your permission.
No matter what kind of problems you’re having (or fear you might have) with your dumpster, and no matter what size your budget is, Fence Builders Inc can build a dumpster enclosure that will fit your needs and desired style.
Dimensions of a Dumpster Enclosure
When deciding what dimensions you need for your dumpster enclosure, there are a few things to keep in mind.
First, you’ll need to know the dimensions of your dumpster. This will help determine how big of an enclosure you’ll need. If you have multiple dumpsters, you may want to consider putting them all in one large enclosure or keeping them in separate smaller ones.
Second, think about how much space you have on your property for the enclosure. You’ll need to leave enough room around it for people to be able to get in and out easily, but you don’t want it to take up too much space on your property.
Third, consider what kind of materials you want to use for the enclosure. We’ll talk more about that later, but some materials are more durable than others and can withstand different weather conditions better.
It is essential to take notice that specific cities have restrictions on what type of materials can be used for dumpster enclosures. Always refer to your city’s building regulations before you construct your dumpster corral.
Chain Link Dumpster Enclosure
A chain link fence is a good option for anyone looking to build a dumpster enclosure. If you’re short on cash, chain link fences are an excellent cost-effective option. Though you might be concerned that chain link fences are easy to climb, industrial chain link fences are tall enough to make climbing them very difficult. And, if you’re afraid of people seeing through your chain link fence, you can consider attaching privacy flats.
Another advantage of chain link enclosures is that they require minimal upkeep. Even if you ignore it completely, the material should last for decades to come. Chain link fences are also very difficult to break without equipment, making them a good way to secure an area.
Ornamental Aluminum/Steel Dumpster Enclosure
Ornamental aluminum or steel dumpster enclosures are a bit more pricey than a chain link fence. However, the fence enclosure will have a professional, polished look to it. Steel is also extremely durable, impossible to break without power tools, and practically impossible to climb over the top of. If you’re worried about people or other unwanted intruders from getting into the enclosure, don’t be. We can space the bars of the enclosure close enough together to make it impenetrable.
Vinyl Dumpster Enclosure
Vinyl is another great option for your dumpster area. Unlike chain link or ornamental fencing, vinyl is completely opaque to ensure that your dumpster is completely obscured from view. This prevents the public from being able to see and use your dumpster. Vinyl is a great choice because it holds up well to extreme weather. It is resistant to rotting and damage from sitting in water or snow over the winter. Vinyl also requires little to no maintenance or upkeep.
Wooden Dumpster Enclosure
Wooden dumpster enclosures are a great way to add some extra security to your property while also making it look more attractive. A wood fence can be stained or painted to match the rest of your property and will last for years with proper care and maintenance. Wood is also a very strong material, so you won’t have to worry about people breaking into your enclosure.
Building a wooden enclosure is a bit more expensive than building one out of chain link or vinyl, but it can improve the appearance of your property.
