Since we cover the entire US and internationally, it would be impossible for us to maintain a list of reliable installers that we would feel comfortable suggesting to our customers. We do not currently offer installation services through Iron Fence Shop.
No one-page summaries that leave you with more questions than answers. Our installation guides contain detailed breakdowns with photos of how to install our metal fences and gates. Here are the comprehensive guides containing step-by-step instructions for our Stronghold Iron®, Infinity Aluminum® and Class-Rackable® product lines:
Why Install Your Fence Yourself?
Installing your metal fence yourself offers a host of benefits that go beyond just saving money. By handling the DIY project on your own, you could cut the total cost in half, making it a cost-effective option. Plus, you’ll have the advantage of going at your own pace.
Beyond financial and quality control benefits, the sense of pride you’ll feel standing next to a solid fence you built with your two hands is unmatched. And don’t worry—our knowledgeable sales team is always available to provide support if you have questions along the way.
Key Steps for Fence Installation
1. Planning and Preparation
Proper planning is a cornerstone of installing your fence. Start by marking the layout of your fence and obtaining any necessary permits on your property line. Mark your utility lines before you dig, and gather or rent all the tools you’ll need. Run a string line for guidance, and purchase concrete to set your posts.
2. Setting Posts and Hanging Panels
Start by determining post spacing, digging post holes, and setting the posts in concrete. Allow the concrete to dry before moving on to hanging fence panels. For Infinity Aluminum®, posts and panels are progressed together to streamline installation.
If you’re installing gates, ensure you allow time for proper alignment and drill your posts for hinge and latch hardware.
3. Adding Final Touches
Once the panels and gates are secure, touch up any scratched or scuffed spots. Then, clean up your worksite by putting away tools or returning rented equipment. Finally, step back and enjoy your hard work—it’s a fence built to last!
Creative Installation Ideas
Our fences aren’t limited to standard house installations—they’re versatile enough to fit a variety of custom applications. For instance, you can mount fence panels onto materials like wood, brick, or concrete pillars, allowing you to explore creative structural designs.
Looking for a modern touch in your backyard or garden fence? Consider using iron or aluminum fences as deck or patio railings.
No matter the challenge, our detailed guides and expert team can help you achieve a professional look, even for non-standard applications. With some planning, your fence installation can go above and beyond traditional uses!
