What Is a Metal Fence with Wood Pickets?

Traditionally, this fence style features a sturdy steel or aluminum frame with natural wood pickets fixed vertically between rails. While the wood offers visual warmth, it often comes with challenges:

Warping from moisture changes
Rotting in damp climates
Fading from UV exposure
Regular staining or sealing requirements

At MetalGrain, we replace natural wood pickets with all-metal pickets finished in realistic woodgrain textures. You still get the classic vertical picket look but without the drawbacks of organic materials.
