Types of Fences We Install
At Modern Steel & Fence LLC, we offer a wide variety of fence installation services to meet your property’s needs and style preferences. Whether you’re looking for durable steel, classic wood, or sleek aluminum, our expert team ensures quality craftsmanship and a perfect fit for your home or business. Explore the different fence types we install to find the ideal solution for security, privacy, and curb appeal.
Wood Picket Fence
A traditional choice that adds charm and curb appeal. Perfect for front yards and gardens, wood picket fences create a welcoming boundary while keeping an open feel.
Wood Board-on-Board Fence
Ideal for full privacy, this style overlaps vertical boards on both sides of the rail. It offers a clean look and eliminates gaps, even with wood shrinkage over time.
Wood Shadowbox Fence
Designed with alternating boards on either side of the fence rail, shadowbox fences allow air and light to pass through while still offering privacy from most angles.
Wood Horizontal Slat Fence
A sleek, modern design using horizontal boards for a clean and contemporary look. This style is perfect for urban homes or updated landscapes.
Wood Cedar Cap and Trim Fence
A premium option that features decorative top caps and trim pieces for added style and structure. It pairs well with any wood privacy fence and gives a finished, upscale appearance.
Wood Dog-Ear Fence
A popular and budget-friendly choice with classic scalloped or rounded board tops. It delivers solid privacy and blends well with almost any property style.
Standard Chain Link Fencing
This is the classic chain link fence you see around homes, schools, and businesses. It's known for being cost-effective, low-maintenance, and reliable. Made from galvanized steel, it’s a great choice for marking boundaries and securing property.
Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fence
Vinyl coated chain link fences offer the same strength as standard chain link but with added protection and a cleaner look. The vinyl coating helps prevent rust and comes in colors like black, green, or brown, making it a great option for blending into the landscape.
Privacy Chain Link Fence
For those who want security without sacrificing privacy, this option includes slats woven through the fence to block visibility. Perfect for backyards, commercial properties, or storage areas, privacy chain link fences offer both protection and peace of mind.
Traditional Ornamental Iron Fence
This style features classic scrollwork, decorative finials, and timeless patterns that have been popular for generations. Traditional ornamental iron fences add charm and elegance to historic homes, gardens, and estates while providing strong security.
Modern Ornamental Iron Fence
For a contemporary look, our modern ornamental iron fences focus on clean lines, minimalist designs, and bold shapes. This style fits perfectly with modern architecture and offers a sleek, sophisticated appearance without compromising durability.
Ornamental Aluminum Fencing
Ornamental aluminum fencing combines the beauty of classic wrought iron with the benefits of modern materials. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, this fence type resists rust, fading, and corrosion—making it perfect for long-term use in any climate. With elegant lines, customizable designs, and low maintenance needs, ornamental aluminum fences add security and curb appeal to both residential and commercial properties.
