Iron Fence Installation
Fence Max Texas manufactures, designs and installs iron fencing across Dallas–Fort Worth, including residential, commercial and industrial fence, security fence, steel and aluminum fence, ornamental and custom designs, matching gates and puppy panels for open views with a secure perimeter.
Fence Max Texas specializes in the manufacture, design and installation of a wide variety of iron fencing and related products, including residential, commercial and industrial fencing, security fence, steel fence, aluminum fence, metal fence, ornamental and custom designs, gates and more.
Iron is the right answer when you want a secure boundary that does not block a view — around a pool, along a golf course or greenbelt, or across the front of a property where a solid fence would feel closed off.
With our installation services you always get quality material, a professional project manager for on-time completion, and an exclusive warranty on all of our installed fence products.
Why it works here
Built for North Texas
Custom fabrication
Panels, finials, spear tops, rings and puppy pickets are fabricated to your design rather than limited to stock panels.
Open sightlines with security
Iron secures a perimeter without walling off the view, which is why it is the standard around pools, greenbelts and front entries.
Combination designs
Iron panels and gates can be combined with board-on-board wood fencing for privacy where you need it and visibility where you don't.
Exclusive warranty
An exclusive warranty applies to all installed fence products.

Texas weather
The enemy of iron in North Texas is standing water and sprinkler overspray at the base of the pickets, not the heat. Powder-coated finishes handle UV well; what causes rust is water sitting where the picket meets the ground or the concrete footing. Correct grading, footing detail and finish selection are what keep an iron fence looking new.
Maintenance
Wash the fence down once or twice a year and adjust sprinkler heads that spray directly onto it. Touch up chips in the coating promptly so moisture cannot reach the steel. Check gate hinges and latch alignment seasonally.
FAQ
Common questions
- Is iron fencing pool-code compliant?
- It can be, and around a pool it must be. Picket spacing, height, and gate self-closing and latch requirements all have code implications. Tell us the fence encloses a pool and it will be designed accordingly.
- Steel or aluminum?
- Steel is stronger and the usual choice for security and for larger gates. Aluminum will not rust and is lighter, which suits some residential and coastal-style applications. We will recommend based on the use, not the price sheet.
- What are puppy panels?
- Puppy panels add extra pickets in the lower section of the fence so small pets cannot slip between them, while keeping the open look of iron above.
- Can iron fencing follow a sloped yard?
- Yes. Panels are either racked to follow the grade or stepped down in sections, depending on the design and how steep the slope is.
- Do you do commercial and industrial security fencing?
- Yes. Security fence, steel fence and industrial applications are part of our standard scope.
- How is iron fencing anchored?
- Posts are either set in concrete footings or core-drilled into existing concrete, depending on the site. We choose the method during the site visit.
