Aluminum vs Steel

Two metals.
One elegant result.

Ornamental fencing in Winnipeg comes down to two material choices: aluminum and steel. Both deliver the classic wrought iron look that has defined elegant properties for centuries, but each has distinct advantages depending on your priorities. Aluminum is lightweight, will never rust, and requires virtually no maintenance over its lifetime. It is the go-to choice for most residential applications, especially around pools and gardens where moisture is constant.

Steel ornamental fencing offers greater strength and rigidity — the pickets and rails are heavier gauge, making the fence more resistant to impact and harder to bend. Steel is the better choice when security is a priority or when the fence will be subjected to heavy use, such as alongside a busy sidewalk or near a playground. Our steel ornamental panels come with a multi-stage powder coat finish that protects against Manitoba's road salt, UV exposure, and moisture. Both materials are installed on driven metal posts for the same frost-heave-resistant foundation we use across all our fence types.

  • Aluminum — lightweight, rust-proof, zero maintenance
  • Steel — heavier gauge, superior strength and security
  • Both available in multiple heights (3 ft to 6 ft)
  • Driven post installation for frost heave resistance
  • Multi-stage powder coat finish on all panels and posts

Styles & Designs

From traditional spear-top
to modern flat-top.

Ornamental fencing is available in a wide range of panel designs to match any architectural style. The classic spear-top (also called finial-top) profile features pointed picket tips that evoke traditional wrought iron and add a layer of visual deterrence. It is the most popular residential choice and suits heritage homes, character homes in Wolseley or River Heights, and any property where a timeless look is desired.

For modern and contemporary homes, flat-top and flush-top profiles offer clean horizontal lines without decorative picket tips. Ring-top and ball-cap designs sit between traditional and modern, adding a subtle decorative element without the sharp points — making them a popular choice for families with young children. We also carry panels with decorative scrollwork, butterfly designs, and custom ring patterns that can be incorporated into sections of the fence or gate for added character. Every style is available in both aluminum and steel.

  • Spear-top / finial-top — classic wrought iron profile
  • Flat-top / flush-top — clean modern lines
  • Ring-top and ball-cap — decorative without sharp points
  • Decorative scroll and butterfly accent panels
  • Matching gate styles for every panel design

Pool-Code Compliant

Keep your pool safe
and up to code.

If you have a pool or hot tub in Winnipeg, the City of Winnipeg requires a barrier fence that meets specific safety standards defined in the municipal bylaws. Ornamental aluminum or steel fencing is one of the best solutions for pool enclosures because it provides the required barrier height and picket spacing without blocking your view of the pool area. Our pool-code-compliant panels feature maximum 4-inch spacing between pickets and no climbable horizontal rails, meeting municipal requirements.

We install self-closing, self-latching gates with the pool fence — a code requirement in Winnipeg. The gate latches are positioned on the pool side of the fence and at a height that prevents young children from reaching them. Every pool fence installation we complete is built to satisfy inspection requirements so you can enjoy your pool season without compliance concerns. We handle the design, measurement, and installation; you handle the swimming.

  • Meets City of Winnipeg pool enclosure requirements
  • Maximum 4-inch picket spacing (non-climbable)
  • Self-closing and self-latching gate hardware
  • Minimum height requirements met or exceeded
  • Clear sightlines to the pool area for supervision
  • Aluminum ideal for constant moisture exposure

Powder Coat Finishes

Colour that lasts
as long as the fence.

Every ornamental fence we install comes with a factory-applied powder coat finish — a process that electrostatically bonds dry pigment to the metal surface, then cures it in an oven to create a finish far more durable than liquid paint. Powder coating resists chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion at a level that wet paint simply cannot match. In Winnipeg's climate, where fences endure extreme UV in summer, road salt spray in winter, and driving rain in between, powder coating is not optional — it is essential.

Black is the most popular colour for ornamental fencing and the one most people picture when they think of wrought iron. But you are not limited to black. We offer ornamental panels in bronze, dark brown, white, and hunter green as standard options, with custom colour matching available for homeowners who want their fence to coordinate with specific architectural details. The powder coat finish maintains its colour and gloss for decades, so the fence you install this year will look the same ten years from now.

  • Factory-applied electrostatic powder coat process
  • Standard colours: black, bronze, brown, white, green
  • Custom colour matching available on request
  • UV-resistant — no fading in Manitoba sun
  • Salt and corrosion resistant for Winnipeg winters
  • No repainting required over the life of the fence
