A metal fence provides true security. Whether you’re keeping kids safe in a Meridian neighborhood or protecting a commercial site near the Boise River Greenbelt, our metal fences deliver strength and reliability you can count on.

Types of Metal Fences We Install
Ornamental Aluminum Fences
Ornamental aluminum fences give you the classic look of wrought iron without the heavy upkeep. They never rust, even in Boise’s wet winters and dry summers, making them perfect for pools, front yards, or gardens near the Boise River Greenbelt. With powder-coated finishes, these fences keep their color and shine for years. Lightweight but strong, aluminum is ideal if you want elegance without high maintenance.
Steel Fences
Steel fences are the best choice when you want maximum strength and security. They are heavier and tougher than aluminum, making them ideal for properties exposed to strong winds or shifting soils that can stress weaker fences. With modern powder coating, steel fences stay protected from rust and maintain their bold look for decades. Properly installed steel fences can last 30–50 years with minimal maintenance, making them a long-term investment for your property.
Wrought Iron Fences
For timeless beauty, nothing compares to wrought iron. These fences are handcrafted with detail and look amazing around historic North End homes or larger estates near Warm Springs Avenue. Wrought iron is strong, stylish, and long-lasting, making it a great fit if you want your fence to also be a statement piece. We can add ornamental details or custom gates for both elegance and convenience.
Chain Link Fences
Chain link fences are a practical, affordable choice for both homes and businesses. Made from galvanized or vinyl-coated steel, they resist rust, UV damage, and corrosion, making them ideal for Boise’s hot, dry summers, occasional snow, and freeze-thaw cycles. When properly installed, they can last 20–30 years, even on clay-heavy soils that shift over time.
Custom Metal Fence Designs
Sometimes you want something unique—and we can build it. Our team creates custom metal fence designs to match your vision. Whether it’s a cedar + steel combo for a modern look in Harris Ranch, or a decorative metal gate for a property in the Boise Foothills, we make fences that fit your exact style and needs. With custom work, you get a fence that’s not only strong but also one-of-a-kind.
Our Installation Process
We start by listening to your goals. Whether you need a steel fence for maximum security, a wrought iron fence for timeless style, or a low-maintenance aluminum fence, we walk you through the best options for your property and budget. We also factor in Boise’s clay soils, freeze-thaw cycles, and hot summers so your fence is designed to stay strong and attractive for decades.
Our team visits your property to measure and evaluate the terrain. Boise neighborhoods range from flat lots to sloped yards, so we check soil type, frost depth, and drainage to ensure your posts are stable. This careful planning means your fence will stand straight and secure through seasonal winds, snow, and heat.
Our trained crews handle every step with precision—no subcontractors. We use engineered steel posts set deep in concrete, powder-coated finishes for rust resistance, and high-quality panels and gates. From a family backyard near the Boise River Greenbelt to a commercial site in Garden City, every fence is built to last.
Finally, we add the details that make your fence yours—custom heights, decorative gates, ornamental designs, or powder-coated colors that match your property. We also account for slopes, terrain, and security needs, so your fence is not only functional but also a beautiful part of your Boise home or business.
Metal Fence Applications
Residential Metal Fencing
Enhance your Boise home with strong, low-maintenance metal fences. They are perfect for keeping children and pets secure and are far more durable than wood, resisting rust, warping, and weather damage. From ornamental front yard fences to full perimeter security, we create solutions that fit your property and style.
Commercial Metal Fencing
Our commercial metal fences provide both security and a professional look for businesses, schools, medical centers, and industrial properties in downtown Boise, Garden City, and Eagle. Strong steel or aluminum panels offer long-lasting protection, while powder-coated finishes resist rust and fading—even under Boise’s hot summer sun or occasional snow. We design fences that balance security, functionality, and appearance.
Pool Enclosures
Keep your swimming pool safe and code-compliant with our aluminum and steel pool fences. Designed to meet or exceed local Boise safety codes, our fences feature self-closing, self-latching gates for families with children. Powder-coated finishes provide durability against sun, rain, and chlorine, while the sleek metal design maintains your yard’s visual appeal.
Security Fencing
For properties that need extra security, our steel fences are built tough. Options include anti-climb designs, security spikes, and integration with electronic security systems. Ideal for commercial lots near Garden City, storage facilities, or Boise industrial areas, these fences provide peace of mind while resisting rust, warping, and Boise’s seasonal weather changes.

Maintenance Tips
To help you get the most from your metal fence investment, here are some maintenance recommendations:
Rinse or wash your fence once a year with mild soap and water to remove dust, pollen, and sprinkler buildup. This helps preserve powder-coated and galvanized finishes.
After snow, windstorms, or hot summers, check for loose fasteners, bent sections, or early signs of rust—especially on wrought iron.
If you spot scratches or chips, touch them up right away with paint or protective coating. This prevents rust from spreading.
Keep shrubs, vines, and sprinklers away from your fence. Moisture trapped against metal can weaken the finish over time.
Lubricate hinges and latches yearly. Make small adjustments if gates sag or stick, so they open and close smoothly.

What Our Clients Say About Our Metal Fence Installations
The timeline for metal fence installation depends on several factors, including the size of your property, fence type, design complexity, and weather conditions. Typically, a standard residential metal fence installation takes 2-4 days to complete. We’ll provide you with a specific timeline during your consultation.
With proper installation and care, a metal fence can last anywhere from 20 to 50 years. Galvanized steel, aluminum, and wrought iron are all strong choices for Boise’s weather. Aluminum won’t rust, steel is extremely durable with the right coating, and wrought iron, when maintained, can last for generations.
Metal can rust if it is not protected, but at Equinox Fence we use galvanized materials and powder-coated finishes that stop corrosion before it starts. This is especially important in Boise, where temperature swings between hot summers and freezing winters can cause untreated metal to break down faster. With the right finish, rust is rarely a problem.
Yes, metal fences can be installed on both flat and sloped lots, and Boise has plenty of both. Our crews use techniques like racking (where the panels follow the angle of the slope) or stepping (where the fence rises in sections), depending on the grade of your land. This makes sure your fence looks natural and stays secure.
Boise’s terrain varies a lot—from the clay-heavy soils of the Boise Bench, to sandy, shifting soils near the Boise River Greenbelt, to rocky ground in the Foothills. Clay soils expand and contract with Boise’s freeze-thaw cycles, while sandy soils can shift after rain or irrigation. That’s why we set engineered steel posts deep in concrete—so the fence doesn’t lean, sag, or shift over time. By planning for both the slope and the soil, we make sure your metal fence is built to handle Idaho’s hot summers, snowy winters, and seasonal winds without losing strength or style.
In Boise, you generally do not need a permit to install a fence unless:
The fence exceeds 6 feet in height
It’s located in a front yard setback
It’s within a clear vision triangle
It’s part of a commercial property
For residential properties, a permit is typically not required unless the fence exceeds 6 feet in height or is located in a front yard setback. However, it’s always best to check with the City of Boise’s Planning and Development Services to ensure compliance with local regulations. We can also assist you with understanding and obtaining the necessary permits.
A survey is not always required, but it’s a smart idea. Having a property survey makes sure the fence is installed exactly on your property line. This avoids disputes with neighbors and helps ensure you’re meeting zoning rules. Many homeowners in Boise get a survey done before investing in a long-lasting metal fence.
The best materials for metal fencing in Boise are galvanized steel, aluminum, and wrought iron. Each one handles our weather in different ways. Boise gets hot, dry summers that often reach over 90°F, and cold winters with snow and freezing nights. The ground here is a mix of clay and sandy soils, which expand and shift during freeze-thaw cycles. These changes can push on fence posts and damage weaker materials.
Aluminum is great if you want low maintenance. It doesn’t rust, even with Boise’s 12 inches of yearly rainfall and sprinkler overspray in neighborhoods. Steel is the strongest choice for security—it can handle high winds in open areas like the Boise Bench or Meridian farmlands. With powder-coated finishes, it resists rust and holds up for decades. Wrought iron is best if you want timeless style, like in the North End historic district. It’s very durable but does need occasional touch-ups to protect against rust.
With the right material and proper installation, a metal fence in Boise can last 20 to 50 years or more. Contact us today, and our experts can help you choose the best metal fencing option for your property, soil, and lifestyle.
