What Metal Fence Is

Metal panel fences use corrugated steel, Corten steel, or flat metal sheets mounted between posts to create a modern, industrial privacy barrier. They offer complete privacy and a bold contemporary look. Corten steel develops a natural rust patina that acts as a protective layer.
