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.

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.

Posted on Google Kristina G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're so thrilled with our new stair railings! Custom Railings WA and Mike's team did a high quality job from start to finish. We got the black powder coat finish with hemlock handrail in natural stain, which looks so elegant (see attached photos). The powder coat finish is really attractive, and we like that it's durable and not easily scratched. We were a little nervous that the wood color/characteristics on the top rail might turn out to be inconsistent across such a long run of railing, but the hand rails on all of the railings match beautifully. Thank you, Mike and team for taking such great care of us! Our new stairs are the perfect touch for our new farmhouse.Posted on Google Adele FesanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used this company for the second time, and this was our first time ordering railing for an outdoor deck. The service was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent, the team was easy to work with, and everything was completed exactly on schedule. The installation crew was highly professional, respectful, and left the area clean after completing the job. It was truly a pleasure working with a company that operates with such care and professionalism. The quality of the railing is top-notch — a very high-end product that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again in the future.Posted on Google Leyla HasanovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We ordered glass railings for our parents’ home in Seattle. We were choosing between two options, glass or modern metal railings, and in the end we decided to go with glass. We’re extremely happy with that choice. The team helped us understand the differences, guided us through the design, and completed the installation on time. The railings look amazing. Great experience overall!Posted on Google Zamina BabayevaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first day, they were professional and easy to work with. Mike always replied quickly, and the team made sure every detail was just how I wanted. In the end, we got beautiful glass railings that fit perfectly with our modern home in Bellevue. Thank you, Custom Railings WA, for making the whole process smooth and enjoyable!Posted on Google J BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a good experience getting outdoor railings for my front concrete steps and for my stone steps in the back garden. I had put off doing this for so long and thought that railings might detract from the aesthetic look of my yard, but I was so wrong. I absolutely love my new railings, and loved working with all the guys who came out - to measure, to bend the metal and dig post holes, and finally to install the finished railings. Thank you!Posted on Google Jill SprattTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a wonderful experience with Mike and his crew at Custom Railings WA. From design planning to installation they were knowledgeable, patient, helpful and professional.Posted on Google K CarrollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience. Could not be more thrilled with the work Custom Railings did. Start to finish top notch work, excellent communication, very professional crew, wish all companies operated with such integrity, truly a pleasure to work with!Posted on Google Hanaa Abou OufTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have beautiful new railings thanks to Custom Railings. Good communication, beautiful product, and they made sure everything was clean before they left. I will definitely use them again in the future!Posted on Google Cathy MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Custom Railings WA. They replaced our outdated railing with a new custom designed railing that fit our dreams and our budget. Communication was always clear and timely. They even worked around the chaotic schedule of other contractors working on our bigger remodeling project that impacted when the railing could be installed. Very Happy with our railing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of Seattle do you cover?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:20:38-07:00The 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.
How well do metal fences hold up in Seattle’s rain?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:20:15-07:00Well, 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.
Can a metal fence match an older or historic Seattle home?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:19:50-07:00Yes. 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.
My Seattle yard is on a slope. Can you still build a level-looking fence?
CustomRailingsWA2026-07-24T12:19:26-07:00Yes, 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.
