Ornamental Iron Fencing in Portland & Vancouver

Factory powder-coated steel and aluminum are made for wet climates. Rust starts at scratches and field cuts, so we seal every cut edge during installation and use stainless hardware.

Yes. We use rackable panels that angle with the grade, so the fence follows your ground line cleanly. Steep sections can be stair-stepped with custom infill if needed.

It's one of the best options. Flat-top ornamental panels meet typical pool barrier requirements for height and climbability, and self-closing gate hardware completes the code picture.

Iron costs more per foot up front and less per year of service than anything else we install. For fences you expect to own for 30+ years, it's often the cheapest fence you can buy.

Standard picket spacing runs close to 4 inches, which contains most dogs but not a determined puppy or a toy breed. The fix is a puppy picket panel, which adds shorter intermediate pickets across the bottom 12 to 24 inches and cuts those openings roughly in half. It can be ordered as part of a new fence or retrofitted to many existing panels.

Racked panels angle with the terrain, keeping a consistent gap beneath the fence, which reads cleaner on gentle grades and matters if you're containing pets. Stair-stepping holds each panel level and drops between posts, which suits formal frontages and steep pitches but leaves triangular openings underneath that may need infill. We'll walk your grade and show you both before you decide.

Rinse it once or twice a year to knock off grime, and look the coating over each spring for chips or scratches. Touch up bare spots promptly with the manufacturer's paint kit so moisture never reaches steel. Aluminum needs even less attention since it can't rust. Ten minutes of walking the line annually buys decades of service from a coastal-grade finish.
