Wood Fence with Metal: The Smarter Way to Build with MetalGrain
A wood fence with metal is a popular choice for homeowners and builders who want the natural beauty of wood with the added durability of metal. But while the mix of materials creates a stunning modern look, the reality is: real wood still requires constant maintenance—staining, sealing, and replacing warped boards.
That’s why MetalGrain created a smarter solution: a metal fence system that looks like real wood.
Using sublimated woodgrain finishes on powder-coated steel and aluminum, MetalGrain delivers the warmth of wood with the strength and longevity of metal—no rot, no cracking, no fading.
What Is a Wood Fence with Metal?
Traditionally, a wood fence with metal includes wood slats or panels combined with metal posts, frames, or accents. This design improves structural stability while keeping the rustic charm of wood. But the wood portions still wear down over time due to moisture, UV exposure, and temperature swings.
MetalGrain changes the equation by replacing both components with durable metal—finished to look exactly like wood—creating a fence that is:
-
Structurally solid
-
Visually warm and natural
-
Virtually maintenance-free
