Metal Privacy Fence
Also known as: Corrugated Metal Fence, Steel Panel Fence, Metal Privacy Fence, Corten Steel Fence
What Is Metal?
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.
