Will a metal fence rust under Redmond’s tree cover?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T11:43:24-07:00Not if it is built for the conditions. Redmond's damp, shaded lots keep a fence wet much of the year, so we favor aluminum for the slat and vertical systems since it cannot rust, and we powder-coat steel over a primer and seal the posts at grade. Built this way, a fence stays sound under the canopy for years.
Can you coordinate a fence with a new-construction Redmond home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T11:42:53-07:00Yes. On a new build we work around your timeline and the rest of the exterior so the fence, gates, and any matching metalwork land as a finished piece rather than an afterthought. Coordinating early also lets us match colors and profiles to the home's other details.
How private is a horizontal slat fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T11:42:26-07:00It depends entirely on the slat spacing, which we set for you. Tight spacing gives a solid, private screen; a small even gap keeps most sightlines blocked while letting light through; wider spacing reads as an open architectural boundary. On a modern Redmond home the semi-private setting is a common favorite.
Are your fences HOA-friendly for Redmond communities?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-26T11:41:56-07:00Yes. A lot of Redmond neighborhoods and newer developments have design standards for fences, and we provide drawings and finish samples so your fence can go through the community's design review without friction. We keep the style within the guidelines while still making it specific to your home.
