ABOUT US

We started with a single welder, a used truck, and the belief that metalwork should be built to outlast the people who commission it.

Oak & Iron Fabrication was founded in Colorado by tradespeople who grew up around steel and wood. We combine old-school craftsmanship with modern design sensibility — no templates, no shortcuts, and no work we wouldn't stand behind with our name.

Every project starts with a conversation. We want to understand how you live, what you're building, and what you want it to feel like ten years from now. Then we build it to those standards — not to a price point.

METAL PRIVACY FENCING
THAT WON'T BURN

In Boulder County's wildland-urban interface zones, wooden fencing is a fire ladder that carries flames from open space directly toward your home. Steel and aluminum fencing is non-combustible — it cannot ignite from embers, cannot spread fire yard-to-yard, and will still be standing after a fire front passes.

We serve Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, and all of Boulder County. For properties near open space, our fireproof steel fencing is one of the most meaningful fire-hardening upgrades available.

FAQ

Everything you want to know about metal privacy fencing, fireproof fencing, and custom metalwork in Boulder County.

Metal privacy fencing is solid-panel steel or aluminum fencing that provides full visual privacy. Compared to wood, it's non-combustible (won't catch fire or spread flames), doesn't rot or warp, requires virtually no maintenance, and lasts 30–50+ years in Colorado's climate versus 10–15 years for wood. The upfront cost is higher, but the total cost of ownership over time is typically lower.
Steel and aluminum fencing is non-combustible — it cannot catch fire. Steel melts at over 2,500°F, far above any wildfire temperature. Windblown embers cannot ignite steel or aluminum. For Colorado properties in wildland-urban interface (WUI) zones — including areas throughout Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, and unincorporated Boulder County — metal fencing is the highest-rated fire-resistant option available and is one of the most impactful fire-hardening investments a homeowner can make.
Our primary service area is Boulder County: Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Superior, Erie, Niwot, Gunbarrel, and surrounding unincorporated areas. We also take select projects in Denver metro, Jefferson County, Larimer County, and the broader Front Range corridor.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Most cities in Boulder County require permits for fences over 4 feet in front yards or over 6 feet in side/rear yards. Deck and stair railings typically require permits when attached to the structure. We determine what's required for your specific project and handle the permit process alongside you.
Lead time from quote approval to installation is typically 3–6 weeks depending on project complexity and our current schedule. Simple railings or gates are often faster; complex multi-piece projects or automated entry systems may take longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline when we scope your project.
Never. Everything — from the initial site measurement to fabrication to installation — is done by our own crew. This is non-negotiable for us because it's the only way to guarantee consistent quality throughout. When you hire Oak & Iron, the people you talk to are the same people who build and install your project.
We're not the cheapest quote you'll get. We're also not fabricating in a garage with no overhead and cutting corners on materials or process. Our pricing reflects structural-grade materials, commercial-quality powder-coat finishes, and the overhead of a legitimate business that carries proper insurance and pulls permits. Most clients who come to us have already gotten a cheaper quote and had concerns about quality — and they're usually right to have those concerns.
Sometimes — it depends on whether the existing gate is structurally suitable for an operator. We'll assess it and give you an honest answer. If the existing gate isn't operator-compatible, we'll tell you why and what a new gate would cost.
