It comes down to slat spacing. Set tight with almost no gap, the slats close a yard or pool area off completely. A small even gap screens most views while light and air pass through. Wider spacing reads as a clean architectural line.

We powder-coat across a broad range, with matte black, bronze, gray, and wood tones the most requested. Powder-coat holds up through wet winters, and we show samples against your home's palette before anything is fabricated.

That is most of what we do here. We match the profile, proportion, and powder-coat color to the house, and pair the fence with a matching gate so the line reads as one designed element rather than an add-on.

Both suit a modern facade when finished right. Aluminum cannot rust, which is why the horizontal slat look is built in it, and it stays low-maintenance through damp winters. Steel is stronger and carries ornamental detail better. We weigh the two against your design and exposure.

Yes, and in Happy Valley it comes up on most projects. Many neighborhoods set standards for fence height, style, or material, and we supply the drawings and finish samples the review asks for. The design stays inside the guidelines while still suiting your house.
