Metal fencing covers the widest range of use cases we install — from a simple galvanized chain link fence around a backyard to a fully engineered security gate system protecting a commercial lot. What ties the category together is durability and control: metal fencing generally offers a stronger physical barrier than wood or vinyl, and it's the material of choice whenever security, not just privacy, is the priority.
Fence Pros installs and services metal fencing for homeowners, property managers, and commercial clients across the Los Angeles metro, from residential chain link in Long Beach to ornamental aluminum pool enclosures in Pasadena to full perimeter security fencing for commercial properties in Glendale. Metal fencing also carries specific code requirements that other materials don't — pool enclosures, for instance, must meet California's self-closing, self-latching gate requirements regardless of fence material, but the hardware and gate mechanics differ meaningfully between chain link, aluminum, and wrought iron, and getting that detail wrong is a common code violation we're called in to fix.
Below, our two flagship services — chain link fence installation and ornamental aluminum fencing — each have a dedicated page with full process and pricing detail. You'll also find sections on wrought iron fencing for a heavier, more decorative look, security gate installation, and commercial fencing for multi-unit and business properties. Whether you need a straightforward chain link enclosure or a fully specified commercial security perimeter with access control, our crews handle permitting, material selection, and installation from a single point of contact, and we're happy to walk you through the tradeoffs between materials before you commit to a design.

Wrought Iron Fencing
Wrought iron — and its more common modern equivalent, powder-coated mild steel fabricated to look like traditional wrought iron — remains the choice for homeowners who want a heavier, more formal look than aluminum can offer, particularly on older Spanish-style and Craftsman properties common across the LA metro's historic neighborhoods. Because it's custom-fabricated rather than assembled from stock panels, wrought iron fencing can match specific architectural details, from finial style to scrollwork, in a way manufactured aluminum panels generally can't.
The tradeoff is weight and maintenance: true wrought iron requires periodic rust inspection and repainting at any point where the powder coat or paint has chipped, since exposed steel rusts quickly once Southern California's coastal moisture or irrigation overspray reaches bare metal. We fabricate and install custom wrought iron fencing and gates, and we also repair and repaint existing wrought iron fencing that's showing rust, matching the original design where the fence is a character-defining feature of an older property.
Security Gate Installation
A security gate is only as strong as its weakest connection point — the hinge posts, the latch, and the drive foundation underneath a vehicle gate all take more stress than the fence panels around them, which is why we treat gate installation as its own specialized scope rather than an afterthought tacked onto a fence order. For vehicle gates in particular, the post footings need to be sized for the gate's full swing weight and wind load, not just the static weight of the panel.
We install manual and motorized security gates in chain link, ornamental aluminum, and wrought iron to match your existing or new fence line, including keypad entry, intercom-linked access, and remote openers for driveway gates. For commercial and multi-unit residential properties, we also install pedestrian security gates with panic hardware and code-compliant egress. See our automatic gate installation page for full detail on motorized driveway gate systems.
Commercial Fencing
Commercial fencing projects come with a different set of priorities than residential jobs — perimeter security, code compliance for the specific occupancy type, minimal disruption to an operating business, and often a bid process that requires detailed specs before work starts. We handle commercial metal fencing for warehouses, retail centers, multi-family properties, schools, and municipal contracts across the Los Angeles metro, typically in chain link with optional privacy slats, ornamental aluminum for street-facing frontage, or heavier-gauge welded steel for higher-security sites.
Because commercial properties often need work scheduled around business hours, deliveries, or tenant access, we plan installation in phases where needed and can work early mornings, evenings, or weekends to minimize disruption. We also handle the permitting and, where applicable, coordination with property management or a general contractor on larger build-outs. For a formal bid on a commercial project, contact us with your site plan and any specification requirements and we'll turn around a detailed quote.

Metal & Security Fencing Questions
We install 9-gauge and 11-gauge galvanized chain link for most residential jobs, stepping up to heavier commercial-grade fabric and larger line posts for commercial and security applications. We'll recommend gauge and post spacing based on your property's specific security and durability needs.
Yes. Privacy slats can be woven into most existing chain link fencing in a range of colors, giving you added privacy and wind screening without replacing the fence itself. It's one of our most common upgrade requests.
California requires pool enclosure gates to be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch release positioned high enough to be out of reach of small children. We install code-compliant hardware on every pool fence and gate we build, regardless of fence material.
