Why Homeowners Choose North Shore Iron Works
- Custom-built, not off-the-shelf: We fabricate metal fences in our own shop and tailor every design to your property line, slope, and style, so the finished fence fits properly instead of being forced to fit.
- Materials chosen for the coast: We work in wrought iron, aluminum, wood, composite, and chain link, and match the material and finish to Lower Mainland weather so your fence resists rust, rot, and warping.
- Code-compliant installation: Our team sets posts and panels for a secure, safe, long-lasting result, and helps you confirm local height and setback bylaws before we build.
- Local, on-the-ground experience: We install across North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, and Coquitlam, and know the permitting, terrain, and property-line questions homeowners here run into.
- Repairs and maintenance too:Beyond new installs, we repair, re-stain, repaint, and maintain existing fences to keep them looking new and standing straight.
Residential Fence Styles We Build
Privacy Fences
Perfect for backyards, patios, and outdoor living spaces, privacy fences block sightlines, cut noise, and create a secure area for kids and pets. Wood and composite give you a warm, natural look with solid coverage, while metal privacy panels offer a lower-maintenance option that stands up to coastal weather.
Decorative & Ornamental Fences
Add elegance and curb appeal with ornamental fences in wrought iron or aluminum. Ideal for front yards, garden borders, and entryways, these fences define your property and boost security without closing off the view.
Security Fences
Protect your home with heavy-duty steel or metal security fencing. A strong choice for corner lots, properties near busier streets, or anyone who wants a tougher physical barrier that still looks intentional and well-made.
Pool & Safety Fences
Keep your pool area compliant and safe with dedicated pool fencing. Glass or metal barriers create a secure boundary that meets safety requirements while keeping clear sightlines to the water.
Garden & Yard Fences
From low garden borders to full-property enclosures, we build fences scaled to your yard, defining beds, keeping pets in, and finishing your landscaping cleanly.
Fence Materials We Work With
Different materials suit different priorities. Here’s how the most common residential options compare, so you can decide what matters most for your property.
| Material | Best for | Maintenance | Notes for the North Shore |
| Wrought iron | Security + classic curb appeal | Periodic repainting to protect against rust | Strong and long-lasting; a signature of custom ironwork |
| Aluminum | Ornamental & pool fencing | Very low | Won’t rust, well-suited to our wet, coastal climate |
| Wood | Warm, natural privacy | Staining/sealing to resist rot | Great privacy; benefits from regular sealing in a rainy climate |
| Composite | Low-maintenance privacy | Minimal | Resists rot and warping; holds its look with little upkeep |
| Chain link | Budget-friendly boundaries | Low | Economical, durable perimeter option |
Not sure which is the most durable choice for your yard? Ask us for a recommendation, we’ll match the material to your budget, privacy needs, and how much maintenance you want.
