Why Choose Metal Fabrication

Custom Metal Features for Distinctive Landscapes

Metal fabrication opens design possibilities that wood and stone alone cannot achieve. Clean-lined steel pergolas, decorative iron entry gates, Corten steel planter walls that develop a rich natural patina, and precision-cut metal edging that creates crisp bed lines — these are the details that set a landscape apart. Our fabrication team works from custom designs, producing one-of-a-kind features sized and styled specifically for your property.

  • Ornamental iron and steel fencing in custom patterns and heights
  • Automated driveway gates and pedestrian gates with access control
  • Corten steel retaining walls and planter boxes with natural weathered patina
  • Steel and aluminum pergolas and shade structures
  • Precision metal landscape edging for clean bed lines
  • Custom railings, handrails, and stair features
  • Decorative screens, panels, and trellises
Custom Metal Features for Distinctive Landscapes

Built to Last in Central Texas Conditions

Metal in an outdoor environment must be properly specified and finished to resist corrosion. We select materials based on their intended application — hot-dipped galvanized steel for structural elements, powder-coated iron for decorative features, marine-grade stainless steel for hardware, and Corten steel where a natural weathering patina is desired. All welds are ground and finished before coating, and every piece receives multi-layer protection against Austin's UV, heat, and moisture.

  • Hot-dipped galvanized steel for structural durability
  • Powder-coat finishing in custom colors for UV and corrosion resistance
  • Corten weathering steel for architectural patina without maintenance
  • Marine-grade stainless steel hardware for coastal and pool environments
  • All welds ground and finished before protective coating

Our Metal Fabrication Process

1

Design Consultation

We discuss your vision, take measurements, and evaluate the installation site. For gates, we assess driveway slope, clearance, and automation requirements. For fencing, we review property lines and any HOA guidelines.

2

Custom Design & Shop Drawings

Our team produces detailed shop drawings showing dimensions, materials, connection details, and finish specifications. You approve the design before fabrication begins.

3

Fabrication

Your custom metalwork is fabricated according to the approved drawings. We manage material sourcing, cutting, welding, grinding, and finishing in a controlled shop environment for consistent quality.

4

Finishing & Coating

Completed pieces receive multi-layer finishing — primer, powder coat or paint, and clear coat as specified — for maximum durability and the exact color and sheen you selected.

5

Site Installation

Our installation crew sets posts, mounts panels, installs gates, and connects any automation or access control systems. Footings are engineered for your specific soil conditions.

6

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

We inspect every weld, connection, and finish on the installed product, test all moving parts, and walk you through operation and care. Your 1-Year Service Guarantee is activated at completion.

Metal Fabrication — Frequently Asked Questions

We fabricate in mild steel, Corten (weathering) steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Material selection depends on the application — structural, decorative, or architectural — and the desired finish. We recommend the best material for each project during the design consultation.

Fabrication timelines depend on project complexity and current shop volume. Most residential projects — fences, gates, and edging — take 2 to 4 weeks from design approval to installation. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We provide a firm timeline at the start of every project.

Not with proper finishing. Our standard process includes hot-dip galvanizing or rust-inhibiting primer followed by powder coat in your chosen color. This multi-layer system provides years of corrosion protection. For Corten steel features, the surface develops a stable oxide patina that actually protects the underlying metal.

In most cases, yes. We evaluate your driveway width, slope, clearance, and power availability to determine the best gate style and automation system. We handle everything from the gate fabrication to the motor, controls, and access systems including keypads, remotes, and smartphone integration.

Corten steel is a weathering steel alloy that develops a stable, rust-colored patina when exposed to the elements. This patina protects the underlying metal from further corrosion, eliminating the need for painting or coating. It is popular in modern landscape design for retaining walls, planters, and edging because of its warm, natural appearance and zero-maintenance finish.

Fences over 8 feet typically require a permit in Austin, and gates across driveways may require review for fire department access. Properties in historic districts or with HOA restrictions may have additional requirements. Outdoor Renovations handles all permitting and compliance research as part of our standard scope of work.
