Blackened Steel and Aluminum Fencing in Boulder, Colorado

The black vertical picket fence is Boulder's quiet architectural standard. It defines Mapleton Hill, Chautauqua, and Pine Brook Hills without obstructing view corridors. We build it in powder coated aluminum or, where weight and permanence are called for, in blackened welded steel.

Specification

How we build blackened steel and aluminum for Boulder properties.

01

Estate Scale Fabrication

Welded steel panels with custom picket profiles, finials, and scroll detail, finished in satin or matte black. Built for primary residences, guest cottages, and formal garden enclosures.

02

Racks Cleanly to Slope

Boulder lots rarely sit flat. Our panels rack to grade with consistent top rail transitions. No stair stepping, no awkward gaps. A critical detail on foothills properties.

03

Deer Height Specification

Six and seven foot panels engineered to deter deer pressure on lots above Linden, Sugarloaf, and Gold Hill. Proportions still read as architecture, not utility.

04

Mountain Climate Finish

Pre galvanized substrate, zinc rich primer, and a powder coat or automotive grade finish. We specify finish systems that survive Boulder's freeze and thaw cycle without chalking.

Investment

What blackened steel and aluminum costs in Boulder.

Powder coated aluminum ornamental fencing in Boulder typically runs $65 to $140 per linear foot installed. Fabricated blackened steel with custom detailing is priced by commission. All proposals include a site walk and a proportion review.

From Clients

Commissions in this material.

Deer were relentless on our back pasture. They fabricated six foot blackened aluminum with the right finial proportions. It sits on the lot like it was always there, and the deer have found another yard.

We needed the ornamental steel to return into the historic stone pilasters without looking grafted on. They drew three details, we picked one, and that is what got built. Craftsmanship and patience.
