STEEL FENCING
VS. WOOD

Wood fencing has dominated the residential market for decades — largely because it's cheap upfront. But in Colorado's climate, wood fencing is a short-term decision. UV degradation at altitude, freeze-thaw cycling, moisture, pests, and the very real wildfire risk that comes with living in a state that burns every summer all compound to make wood fencing a recurring expense.

Metal privacy fencing changes the math entirely. Steel and aluminum don't rot. They don't warp. They don't splinter or crack. They don't require staining or sealing. They won't carry fire from your neighbor's property to yours. With a quality powder-coat finish, they look as good in year 20 as they did in year one.

Every fence we build is custom-fabricated to your exact property dimensions — we don't sell pre-made panels and fill gaps at the ends. It's built to fit your lot, your grade changes, and your aesthetic.

Fireproof Fencing — Colorado WUI

THE ONLY FENCE
THAT WON'T BURN

The Marshall Fire of December 2021 — the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history — spread through Louisville and Superior neighborhoods at 100+ mph wind speeds. Fire investigators documented how wooden fencing acted as a combustion bridge, carrying fire from the grassland edge to homes, yard-to-yard across entire blocks.

Steel fencing is non-combustible. It cannot ignite from windblown embers. It will not carry fire across your property line. Its melting point exceeds 2,500°F — nearly double the temperature of a typical structure fire. When a fire front passes through, your steel fence will still be standing. Your wooden fence will not.

For homeowners in Colorado's wildland-urban interface zones — throughout Boulder County, Jefferson County, and the Front Range foothills — metal privacy fencing is the most impactful single fire-hardening investment you can make to your property perimeter.

  • Non-combustible — steel melts at 2,500°F+
  • Embers cannot ignite steel or aluminum
  • Does not contribute to flame spread
  • Rated for Colorado WUI and defensible space
  • Recognized fire-hardening improvement by insurers
  • Qualifies for some insurance premium reductions
  • Superior, Louisville, Lafayette, Boulder open-space areas
  • Boulder County Land Use code compliant

WHAT WE BUILD

Privacy Panels

Full-height solid or flat-bar panels that provide complete visual privacy. Horizontal or vertical orientation. Available from 4 to 8+ feet tall. Our most popular fencing style.

Decorative Picket

Classic picket-style fencing in steel or aluminum. Define property lines with character while letting light through. Ideal for front yards and period-appropriate neighborhoods.

Perimeter & Ranch

Heavy-duty perimeter fencing for large properties, agricultural lots, and rural acreage. Built to withstand livestock pressure, vehicle contact, and Colorado's hardest weather.

Mixed Material

Steel frames with wood infill panels combine the warmth of natural wood with the structural integrity and fire-resistance of steel posts and frames.

Semi-Privacy

Spaced flat-bar or horizontal slat designs that filter views without full enclosure. Great for creating a sense of boundary while maintaining airflow and light.

Gate Integration

Every fence system can include matching pedestrian and driveway gates. Manual swing, cantilever slide, or fully automated. Built to match your fence exactly.

FENCING FAQ

Metal privacy fencing is solid-panel steel or aluminum fencing that provides full visual privacy. Compared to wood, metal privacy fencing is non-combustible, doesn't rot or warp, requires almost 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 is often significantly lower.
Steel and aluminum are non-combustible materials — they cannot catch fire. Steel has a melting point over 2,500°F. In practice, this means windblown embers cannot ignite your fence, and fire cannot travel along your fence line to reach your home. For Colorado WUI zone properties, this is one of the most meaningful defensible-space improvements you can make.
With a quality powder-coat finish maintained properly, steel fencing lasts 30–50+ years in Colorado. Aluminum is inherently rust-resistant and can last even longer. The key is the quality of the coating and the quality of the fabrication — welds that trap moisture fail early, and cheap powder-coat fades and chips. We use commercial-grade finishes and structural welding throughout.
Permit requirements vary by municipality. Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, and Superior each have their own requirements, typically triggering above 4 feet in front yards or 6 feet in side/rear yards. Unincorporated Boulder County has its own rules. We determine what's required for your project as part of our process and handle permits alongside you.
Custom metal fencing pricing depends on materials (steel vs. aluminum), style (privacy panel vs. open picket), height, linear footage, and finish. As a general range, residential metal privacy fencing runs $80–$200+ per linear foot installed, depending on complexity.
