About Aluminum and Steel Fence

Aluminum and Steel Fencing in the High Country

Ornamental aluminum and steel give you a refined, timeless look that lasts for decades with almost no upkeep. Unlike wood, it never rots, and unlike bare steel of the past, today's powder coated aluminum will not rust. The open picket design defines your space cleanly without blocking the mountain view, which is why it is one of our most requested styles for front yards and view lots.

It also follows terrain well, raking with a slope or stepping down in sections, which suits the grades and view lots common across the High Country. Aluminum offers the elegant look at a lower cost and weight, while steel is available where maximum strength and security are the priority.

What to Consider

Getting Aluminum and Steel Right

Aluminum and steel come in a range of heights, picket styles, and powder coat colors, most often black, bronze, or white, so we can match the look to your home and any HOA requirements.

The upfront cost is higher than chain link or basic wood, but the payoff is decades of essentially maintenance free service. For a fence you want to install once and never fuss over, it is hard to beat.

Questions

Aluminum and Steel Fence FAQs

How much does aluminum fence cost compared to wood?

Ornamental aluminum costs more up front than wood but almost nothing over its life, since it never needs staining, sealing, or repainting and will not rot or rust. Height, style, gates, and terrain drive the total, and we price it in a clear written quote after a free estimate.

What is the best fence for a mountain view?

Ornamental aluminum and split rail. Aluminum's open pickets secure the yard while keeping the long view, which is why it is our most recommended style on ridge and view lots in the High Country.

Should I choose aluminum or steel?

Aluminum is the residential standard: rust proof, lighter, and available in many styles. Steel is stronger and suits security and commercial applications. Both come powder coated for our wet mountain climate, and we will recommend the right one at your estimate.

Can aluminum fence be installed on a slope?

Yes. Rackable aluminum panels follow the grade without stair stepped gaps underneath, which makes aluminum one of the cleanest looking fences on sloped High Country lots.

Will an aluminum fence rust?

No. Quality ornamental aluminum is powder coated and will not rust, which makes it ideal for our wet mountain climate. Steel options are also coated for long term corrosion resistance.

What colors and styles are available?

Common colors are black, bronze, and white, in a range of picket heights and top styles. We will help you choose a look that suits your home and any HOA rules.
