Metal Fence Company in New Orleans

What are Metal Fences?

Metal fences cover a family of materials, most often aluminum and steel, built as pickets and rails much like an iron fence but lighter and more rust-resistant. For homeowners, they hit a sweet spot between the elegant look of iron and the easy care people want from a modern fence.

Aluminum is the popular residential pick. It never rusts, it comes powder-coated in colors like black and bronze, and it is light enough to follow a sloping yard in clean steps. It gives the look of iron at a friendlier price and with almost no maintenance, which suits most New Orleans homes well.

Steel is the heavier, stronger option when security is the priority. It stands up to impact better than aluminum and carries a more substantial feel, though it needs a quality galvanized and powder-coated finish to fight rust in our climate. Homeowners who want a fence that feels truly solid often choose steel for front and perimeter lines.

Both options respect the same local rules. Residential fences here are capped around seven feet and need a permit from the Department of Safety and Permits, and historic districts may review the style. The open picket design of metal fencing is usually welcome in those areas and pairs nicely with older New Orleans architecture.
