Steel fences combine grace with strength. They offer clean lines and charming designs, yet they may also have fail-proof security features. Welded steel is stronger than aluminum, but it can rust, so be sure to opt for a galvanized coating if you choose to put up a steel fence.

Steel fences are sometimes called “tubular,” meaning the various fence parts are hollow. Still, such fences are quite strong because the vertical elements run through the railings at the top and the bottom of the fence. Due to their strength, steel fences are often used for commercial security purposes, but they also make great residential fences with a wrought-iron look.

Many steel fences are beloved for their beauty. Because the front and back of steel fences are identical, they may be enjoyed on both sides. Cappers and other design elements allow for great individuality in steel fences.
