Custom Steel and Metal Fences
in Vancouver, BC

Custom Fence Installation in Vancouver

Avangard Steel designs, fabricates, and installs custom steel and metal fences for residential, commercial, strata, and industrial properties throughout Vancouver.

Each fence is fabricated around the actual property layout, required height, privacy needs, architectural style, access points, and approved project requirements. Rather than relying only on standard prefabricated panels, custom fabrication allows the fence system to be adjusted for unusual dimensions, slopes, existing walls, gates, columns, and other site conditions.

Our Vancouver fence projects can include complete steel fence runs, custom panels, posts, privacy screens, decorative sections, pedestrian access points, driveway fence sections, and custom metal components.

Steel Fences for Vancouver Homes

Residential fences need to do more than define a property line. The fence often becomes part of the exterior architecture of the home and can influence privacy, security, curb appeal, driveway access, and landscaping.

Custom steel fencing works particularly well with modern homes because the spacing, proportions, frame dimensions, panel style, and finish can be coordinated with other architectural elements such as gates, railings, canopies, concrete walls, stonework, and exterior cladding.

Residential applications can include front yard fences, side yard boundaries, backyard fencing, garden areas, driveway edges, pedestrian entrances, and privacy screening.

Modern Steel Privacy Fences in Vancouver

Privacy is one of the most common reasons Vancouver property owners install a new fence. A custom steel privacy fence can reduce direct sightlines while maintaining a clean architectural appearance.

Depending on the design, privacy can be created using solid panels, closely spaced horizontal members, vertical slats, metal infill panels, or a combination of steel framing with another approved material.

The right configuration depends on the amount of privacy required, fence height, property layout, neighbouring sightlines, wind exposure, architectural design, and applicable local requirements.

Horizontal Metal Fences for Modern Properties

Horizontal fencing is a popular option for contemporary residential architecture because it creates long, clean visual lines across the property.

A custom horizontal steel fence can be fabricated with different member sizes, spacing, panel widths, post locations, and finishes. For properties with changing grades or unusual dimensions, individual fence sections can be fabricated to suit the actual site rather than forcing standard panels into the layout.

Steel Fences for Sloped Properties

Not every Vancouver property is level. Changes in grade can affect fence panel dimensions, post heights, spacing, gate locations, and the overall appearance of the finished fence.

For sloped sites, fence sections can be coordinated using stepped or site-specific configurations depending on the architectural design and approved project requirements.

Accurate site measurements are particularly important on sloped properties because small elevation changes can become visually noticeable across a long fence run.

Custom Fence Panels Between Concrete or Masonry Columns

Many modern residential and commercial properties combine metal fencing with concrete, masonry, stone, or architectural walls.

Custom steel fence panels can be fabricated to fit between existing or newly constructed columns while maintaining consistent spacing and visual alignment across the property.

This approach is commonly used where the fence needs to integrate with entrance columns, retaining walls, landscape features, driveway gates, or architectural structures.

Residential vs Commercial Steel Fencing

Commercial Steel Fences in Vancouver

Commercial properties may require stronger and more durable fencing around buildings, service areas, parking facilities, equipment zones, storage areas, and property boundaries.

Custom steel fabrication allows commercial fence systems to be coordinated with vehicle gates, pedestrian entrances, existing structures, security requirements, loading areas, and site-specific dimensions.

Commercial fencing applications may include:

• Office properties
• Retail developments
• Warehouses
• Industrial facilities
• Strata properties
• Multi family developments
• Service yards
• Equipment areas
• Parking facilities

Custom Fence and Gate Integration

When a pedestrian or driveway gate forms part of the fence line, designing the gate and fence together can create a cleaner finished appearance.

Fence panels, gate frames, post sizes, spacing, finishes, and architectural details can be coordinated so the entire entrance appears to be one integrated system rather than separate components added at different stages.

For projects involving powered or automated gates, the structural steel fabrication scope should be coordinated with the appropriate gate automation and electrical specialists where required.

Steel Fence Fabrication for Existing Properties

Custom fencing is not limited to new construction. Existing properties may require replacement fencing, new privacy sections, additional panels, modified fence openings, or steel components that connect to existing walls and structures.

Depending on the project, the scope may include:

• Replacement steel fence panels
• New fence posts
• Modified fence sections
• Additional privacy panels
• New pedestrian openings
• Fence extensions
• Custom connection plates
• Integration with existing gates

Steel Fence Finishes for Vancouver’s Coastal Climate

Exterior metal fencing in Metro Vancouver is exposed to rain, moisture, changing temperatures, and long-term outdoor conditions. The appropriate finish is therefore an important part of the fence specification.

Depending on the project requirements, steel fencing may use:

• Powder-coated finishes
• Galvanized steel
• Primer and exterior paint systems
• Other specified protective coating systems

The appropriate material and finish should be selected based on the fence design, exposure conditions, required appearance, and project specifications.

Do You Need a Permit for a Fence in Vancouver?

Fence requirements depend on the property, zoning, location, height, and proposed design.

The City of Vancouver currently states that a fence along the property lines of a single detached home or duplex can generally be constructed without a permit when it is no more than 4 feet high along the perimeter of the front yard and no more than 6 feet high along the side and rear yards.

Projects involving greater heights or different property conditions may require additional review or approval. Property owners should confirm current requirements with the City of Vancouver before construction begins.
