About

Metal Fencing for Seattle Homes and Businesses

Seattle fences deal with three things at once: steep ground, wet weather, and houses that range from new townhomes to century-old classics. We design around all three, building each fence to the lot instead of forcing a stock run onto a hillside.

From our Kent shop we fabricate custom steel and aluminum, install prefab horizontal slat systems, and set vertical fencing in both custom and prefab form, so the recommendation follows your property, not a product line.

Every metal fence we build in Seattle is produced in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, so the work draws on their dedicated fencing experience alongside our in-house metal fabrication.

What We Build

Custom Fabricated, Prefab Horizontal Slat, and Vertical Fences

Three builds cover nearly every Seattle lot; here is how each earns its place.

Custom Fabricated Fences

Welded to your exact layout in steel or aluminum, custom is the answer for stepped hillside lines, ornamental designs for older homes, and anything a stock panel cannot follow.

Prefab Horizontal Slat Fences

Prefab horizontal slat systems deliver the clean, modern screen Seattle townhomes favor. Factory-made panels install efficiently, and the wide slats give privacy without visual weight.

Vertical Fences, Custom or Prefab

The classic upright look, built custom fabricated to set spacing, height, and top detail exactly, or as quality prefab vertical panels for a straightforward run.

Slat Materials

Slat Fence Material Options: Aluminum, Steel, or Composite

Slat fences are not one material; picking between aluminum, steel, and composite decides the fence’s weight, warmth, and weathering.

Aluminum and Steel Slat Fences

Aluminum slats will not rust through a Seattle winter and stay light on long runs, while steel brings maximum strength for high-traffic or security lines. Both take a durable powder-coat in matte black, bronze, or wood tones.

Composite Slat Fences

Composite slats set a warm wood look into a metal frame without the rot, fading, or repainting real boards demand in this much rain. A strong pick when the fence has to soften a modern facade.

Privacy Levels

Privacy, Semi Privacy, or Open and Architectural Fencing

Slat spacing sets how much the fence screens; these are the three settings we build to.

Privacy

Slats set tight with no visible gap wall off a patio or garden from close neighbors, the standard choice on Seattle’s compact lots.

Semi Privacy

A narrow, even gap screens most sightlines while daylight still filters through, keeping a small city yard from feeling boxed in.

Open & Architectural

Wider spacing turns the fence into a crisp architectural line that marks the boundary of a front yard without hiding the house.

Laser Cut Panels

Custom Laser Cut Panels for Seattle Fences

Beyond standard pickets and slats, we cut custom decorative panels on our laser system, so a fence can carry a pattern, a monogram, or a privacy screen entirely your own. These laser cut panels drop into both custom fabricated fences and prefab panel runs, adding a distinctive Seattle detail without starting from scratch. We produce this fence work in collaboration with Fences & Gates Pro, combining their fencing expertise with our in-house metal fabrication and laser cutting.

Neighborhoods

Metal Fences Across Seattle's Neighborhoods

From Ballard and Fremont to Queen Anne, West Seattle, and the lake edges, we fence across the whole city and finish for each site’s exposure, including the salt-touched air near Alki.

Communities and New Builds

Working With Seattle HOAs and New Construction

Many Seattle townhome rows and newer developments are governed by an HOA with rules about fence height, style, and color. We supply drawings and finish samples so your fence clears the association’s review the first time.

On a new build we coordinate with your builder’s schedule so fence, gates, and any matching metalwork land with the rest of the exterior instead of after it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The whole city, from the North End and Green Lake down through the central neighborhoods to West Seattle, plus the shoreline areas at Alki. We are based in Kent just to the south, so getting anywhere in Seattle is straightforward, and near the water we finish fences for the extra salt and moisture.

Well, when they are finished for it. Months of damp will find any weak point, so we powder-coat steel over a primer, use aluminum where rust is a real concern, and seal the posts at grade. Aluminum slat and vertical systems have a natural edge since they cannot rust at all, which is part of why they have caught on across the city.

Yes. In neighborhoods like Queen Anne, Madison Park, and Mount Baker we build ornamental steel to suit period homes, reproducing pickets, spear tops, and scrollwork that fit the architecture rather than looking like a modern add-on. Because we fabricate by hand in our own shop, matching or recreating a historic design is well within what we do.

Yes, and it is routine here given the hills. On a slope a fence can step down in even panels to keep a level top line, or rake to follow the grade, and we measure the ground and build to whichever suits your lot. Custom fabrication and fitted slat systems handle grade far better than a fixed prefab run, so the posts stay plumb and the line stays clean on ground that is rarely flat.
