Fencing systems for public garages and parking lots
Public garages and parking lots are high-traffic areas where pedestrian safety, functionality, and durability are top priorities. Fencing systems in these spaces must be weather-resistant, easy to maintain, and aesthetically integrated with the overall architecture. One of the most efficient and practical types of fencing systems for garages and parking areas is the vertical picket system.
This type of fencing system is designed for public above-ground and underground garages, as well as outdoor parking platforms, with the goal of ensuring pedestrian safety, preventing falls, controlling access, and maintaining long-term functionality under heavy wear. It offers the following advantages:
High safety and stability – The vertical arrangement of pickets prevents the so-called “ladder effect,” making it difficult to climb and thus enhancing overall safety. Panels are pre-assembled, which ensures added structural strength and allows for faster on-site installation.
Resistance to wear and environmental factors – The use of corrosion-resistant steel, such as stainless steel or aluminum, ensures a long service life even in extreme weather conditions. Surface treatments like electrostatic powder coating or ceramic protection further shield the system from UV radiation, precipitation, and salt exposure.
Aesthetically neutral and adaptable design – The fencing systems can be customized in terms of color, finish, and panel type (pickets, wire mesh, perforated sheet metal, or glass). Adjustable height, picket density, and additional elements allow seamless integration into various architectural styles, from industrial to modern.
When designing and installing fencing systems in public facilities, it is essential to comply with the relevant regulations and standards. One such regulation is the Rulebook on Technical Standards for the Design and Construction of Buildings, which defines the minimum height of protective fences, the maximum spacing between vertical elements, and other key parameters. Additionally, the Law on Planning and Construction mandates adherence to applicable standards, including accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Choosing an appropriate fencing system for public garages and parking lots requires careful consideration of safety, technical, and aesthetic criteria. Compliance with national and European standards ensures long-term functionality, user safety, and easier integration into the broader urban context.
By combining high-quality materials, weather resistance, and the option to integrate additional elements such as LED lighting, these systems meet all modern urban design requirements. If you are planning a public garage project, consider this type of system solution as a reliable and long-term investment.
