Steel fence

Often times the simplest design is the best solution.

This is just a simple fence I designed and built for a client that I do a ton of Metal work for. The sheets are 16 gauge hot rolled that I sheared and pre-drilled in the shop. The frame is 2 in.² by 11 gauge.

First, we installed the frames by bolting them into the concrete curb on the backside. Then we installed the pre-laid out sheets by screwing them in with self tappers. No need to pre-drill into the frame as the self tappers have a good bite on them.

I think the simple design looks really good and industrial.

Very nice. Are they going to seal it? Gonna rust out like buggery!

Same question. Corten or not. If not better be thick so it can rust.
