What is a fence with a hog wire topper?
It's a fence panel with two sections. The lower section is solid corrugated steel that blocks the view at eye level, and the top section is open hog wire that lets light and air through. You get privacy where you need it, and the fence feels lighter and lower than a solid wall of the same height.
Which panel height should I choose?
Panels come in 4', 5', 6', 7' and 8' heights, all 8' wide. Taller panels give more screening from neighbors and the street, while shorter panels suit front yards and garden borders. Many towns limit fence height, especially in front yards, so check your local rules before you order.
Should I choose vertical or horizontal metal?
It comes down to the look you want, since both are the same price. Vertical corrugation has a classic, slightly rustic look. Horizontal corrugation gives a long, low line that suits modern and mid-century homes.
Do the panels arrive assembled?
Yes. The corrugated section, the hog wire topper and the wood frame are assembled at our shop and arrive as one panel, ready to fasten between your posts.
Which frame should I pick?
Pressure-treated lumber is the value choice and has a warm, honey-brown tone. Western Red Cedar is chosen for its rich natural grain. Neither needs stain to resist rot, and both can be stained to keep the wood looking fresh.
Is the color on both sides of the panel?
Yes, each side of the panel is identical. Black, Brown and Gray are painted on both sides with fade-resistant, high-durability polyester (HDP) paint. Corten Steel are unpainted, so both sides have the same bare metallic or weathered finish.
How is the Corten color different?
Corten is bare weathering steel, not a painted color. It develops a natural rust patina over time that protects the steel underneath. While the patina forms, rainwater running off the panels can stain concrete or stone below, so plan for gravel or planting at the base.
Are posts and gates included?
No, both are sold separately. A straight run needs one more post than it has panels, plus one post for each gate opening. Choose metal fence posts or wood fence posts, and add a matching metal fence gate.
What warranty comes with the panels?
The corrugated steel and the steel hog wire topper carry a 40-year warranty.
