What Are Ornamental Fences?

Ornamental fences are decorative metal fences designed to provide security and boundary definition without blocking visibility. Unlike solid wood fences, ornamental fencing is open-style, using vertical pickets and horizontal rails to create a clean, elegant look.

They’re commonly installed around:

Front yards
Side yards
Pools
Driveways
Perimeters where curb appeal matters

What Are They Made Of?

Most residential ornamental fences are made from:

Steel
- Strongest and most rigid option
- Heavier and more impact-resistant
- Ideal for higher security needs
Aluminum
- Lightweight and naturally rust-resistant
- Lower maintenance
- Great for long-term performance in wet or humid climates
