At MetalGrain, we’ve redefined this classic combination by delivering woodgrain-finished metal slats that offer the warmth of wood with the all-season durability of engineered metal.

What Is a Horizontal Wood and Metal Fence

In traditional applications, these fences use metal posts and horizontal wood slats to create a streamlined privacy barrier. The visual effect is stunning but real wood has its drawbacks. Over time, it fades, warps, splinters, and demands frequent sealing or staining.

MetalGrain offers a smarter solution. Our fence slats are made from structural aluminum or steel, powder-coated and finished with high-definition woodgrain textures. The result is a fence that looks like natural wood but holds its shape, color, and performance for decades.
