Residential Steel Fencing Options

Steel fencing comes in many styles, and First Fence helps you find one that suits the home perfectly. You won't have to limit yourself to traditional designs or basic colors. You can share your ideas with us, and we'll bring them to life.

Your fence will rely on a mixture of many components, including:

  • Posts that anchor into the ground

  • Rails that connect posts together

  • Pickets, either plain or decorative

  • Finials with different designs

We'll work with you to ensure all of the above parts (and more) fit your vision. First Fence of Georgia's team has the skills, tools, and experience to accommodate virtually any design you have in mind for your home fencing.

Every First Fence project begins with a consultation. We'll then send an estimator to determine how to make your ideas a reality. You can even add gates that keep your driveway safe and extra pickets to guarantee fewer gaps.

Low Maintenance, Long-Term Value

Steel fences are popular for many reasons; in fact, they're the obvious choice for many homeowners and large-scale corporate projects. Here are just a few of the benefits of choosing steel:

  • It's durable enough to be a once-in-a-lifetime investment

  • We can galvanize or coat your fence for extra protection

  • On a security level, it's virtually impossible to cut through

  • You can adjust the picket length to remove any gaps

  • No corrosion, even on Atlanta's extreme weather days

  • Pre-drilled setup makes installations quick and easy

  • You'll also enjoy a major boost to your property's value

In addition, steel fences simply look wonderful. Your property will stand out, and you and your family (or guests) will be safer. In addition, most of these fences will come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Advantages of Steel Fencing

Durability

Some homeowners or commercial property developers require a higher degree of protection. If you're looking for fencing material that can provide both security and curb appeal, steel is a great option.

Steel is a ferrous material. It will naturally rust over time. However, the galvanizing process involves coating the base metal in a layer of zinc. That means a galvanized steel fence is not prone to rust.

Similarly, powder coating protects steel from the elements. It uses an electrostatic process to cure dry powder using heat. It's another option for preventing rust and making steel more durable.

Further, steel is fire-resistant, wind-resistant, and quite strong. Because it's so durable, a steel fence is generally a once-in-a-lifetime investment.

Does Not Corrode Easily

We all know that the South can come with extremes of heat and humidity. In the past, this harsh environment meant deterioration of metal fencing.

However, the advances mentioned above dramatically improved durability. Modern steel fence products can withstand almost anything the Southern climate throws at it.

Extra Security

Given its core strength, steel is very difficult to cut through. This makes it a natural choice for security-conscious homeowners and high-traffic commercial properties.

Similarly, it's ideal in community areas such as neighborhood swimming pools. It's a great choice for any location where security/safety is a concern.

Timeless Curb Appeal

Ornamental steel is also a superb alternative to wrought iron fencing. It fulfills a similar decorative role. Available in a variety of colors and design options, there's a steel fence to fit almost any residential or commercial style.

If you're looking for a "wow" factor in addition to heightened security, First Fence of Georgia's decorative steel options are a great, long-lasting choice.

Rackability

One of the most beneficial aspects of steel fencing is rackability. Rackability is the ability to follow the slope or grade of the ground.

Rackable steel fence panels provide a smoother and more secure fence line than their stair-stepped counterparts. The steel pickets can be adjusted so that they each connect with the ground on uneven terrain.

In short, that means fewer gaps, and better security.

Quick Installation

Steel fence panels are surprisingly easy to install. Like aluminum fencing, the holes and fasteners are pre-drilled, saving time. Because it's rackable, it's also readily adaptable to grade changes.

Easy To Add Gates

Steel fencing comes with multiple design options for garden and automatic driveway gates as well. This provides the security of a fully fenced property with ease of access. You can enter or exit your property with the simple push of a button.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Most steel fences come with a limited lifetime warranty. This protects your investment, giving you greater peace of mind.

Steel Fence Components

Like other fencing types, steel fences are made up of standard components, with room for customization.

Post

This is the vertical part of the fence that's anchored into the ground, often with concrete.

Rails

These horizontal bars connect fence posts, provide a place to attach pickets, and add stability to the overall structure.

Pickets

Thin vertical bars, steel pickets can be plain or feature decorative elements like twists, scrolls, or baskets.

Finial

This is the decorative top of a picket. Spears are the most popular, but options include balls, fleur de lis, pineapples and more.

Panel

A fence panel is the sum of the entire fence structure between posts. 8 ft is the standard width for most steel fences.
