Metal Fencing
What is Metal Fencing?
Metal fencing covers a wide range of boundary options made from steel, aluminium or iron rather than timber. For homes, that often means smart metal railings along a front garden, elegant wrought iron style fencing on a period property, or slim, modern aluminium panels that pair beautifully with contemporary architecture. For businesses and larger sites, it can mean galvanised steel mesh panels or bow-top railings that create a clear, durable boundary without blocking views. The big advantage of metal is longevity. Properly finished steel and aluminium won't rot, warp or split like timber, and a quality powder-coated finish keeps it looking sharp for years with little more than an occasional wash down. Metal fencing is strong without being bulky, so it can secure a boundary while still letting light through. At J&J Contractors, we supply and install metal fencing and matching metal gates across Exeter, Topsham, Tiverton and Cullompton, as well as coastal towns like Exmouth and Sidmouth, where the right coating really matters. Whether you want a traditional look for a Victorian terrace or a sleek finish for a new-build, we'll help you choose a style that suits your home and budget.

When to Choose Metal Fencing?
Metal fencing is the right choice when you want a boundary that lasts and needs very little looking after. If you're tired of re-staining a timber fence every couple of years or replacing rotten posts after every wet winter, switching to metal can be a smart long-term investment. It's especially popular for front gardens, where railings keep a property feeling open and welcoming while still marking a clear boundary and keeping children and pets safely away from the road. Owners of period homes in Exeter, Teignmouth and Torquay often choose metal railings to restore or match original features, which adds real kerb appeal. Metal is also ideal when security matters but you don't want a solid wall, such as around a driveway, a play area or commercial premises, because it's hard to climb or cut yet still lets you see who's around. For coastal properties in Dawlish, Paignton and Brixham, galvanised and powder-coated steel or aluminium stands up to salt air far better than untreated metal or timber. If your current boundary is failing, or you simply want something stronger and smarter, metal fencing is well worth considering, and we'll happily talk through whether it's the best fit for your property.

What is Required for Metal Fencing?
Getting metal fencing right is all about specification and installation. At your free site visit, we'll measure the boundary, check ground conditions and agree the style, height and finish. For gardens near the sea, we usually recommend aluminium or galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish, as this gives the best protection against corrosion. We'll also discuss whether you want matching pedestrian or driveway gates, and whether you might add automation later. As with any boundary, it's sensible to confirm ownership with your neighbours, and the usual planning limits apply: up to 2 metres in most cases, or 1 metre next to a road, with extra rules for listed buildings. Metal posts are set in concrete at precise depths and spacings so panels and railings line up perfectly. This is essential, as metal is far less forgiving than timber if posts are out of line. Where the ground slopes, we rake or step the panels to keep a clean, consistent look. Once installed, metal fencing needs very little maintenance beyond an occasional clean. Like all our work across Exeter, Newton Abbot, Crediton and South Devon, it's backed by our 10-year written guarantee. Call 07476 554105 for a free metal fencing quote.
