Why Choose Metal Fences?
A metal fence has to do more than look good, it has to hold up to Vancouver’s wet winters without rusting, keep its finish without constant repainting, and actually stop people or animals from getting where you don’t want them. That’s what you get with ours:
- Powder-coated steel and aluminum that resist rust and fading in the coastal damp, no repainting every couple of years.
- Once it’s up, upkeep is close to nothing: an occasional rinse and a check of the gate hardware.
- Built to your property’s actual measurements and style, wrought iron scrollwork, clean modern steel panels, or anything between, not a stock size.
- One written quote before any work starts, so the price you’re told is the price you pay.
Types of Metal Fences We Offer
Wrought Iron Fences
The most decorative option, with scrollwork and detail suited to heritage homes and traditional front yards. It’s also the heaviest and most labour-intensive to fabricate, so it sits at the higher end of the price range.
Aluminum Fences
Won’t rust, which is why it’s the default choice for pool enclosures and waterfront or coastal properties. Lighter than steel, so it’s usually our fastest install, with almost no maintenance afterward.
Steel Fences
The strongest option, built for commercial sites, industrial perimeters, and anywhere security matters more than decorative detail, finished with the same powder coating as our aluminum work, so it resists corrosion just as well.
Purpose-Driven Metal Fencing
We design fences tailored to specific needs:
- Security Fences: taller panels with minimal footholds, for properties or commercial sites where keeping people out matters more than curb appeal.
- Decorative Fences: lower-height wrought iron or aluminum that defines a front yard or garden without blocking the view.
- Perimeter Fences: lower-height wrought iron or aluminum that defines a front yard or garden without blocking the view.
- Pool & Safety Fences: self-closing, self-latching gates at BC Building Code height (pool enclosures generally need to be at least 1.2m/4ft — exact requirements can vary slightly by municipality, so we confirm this for your address during the consultation).
