Ornamental Iron & Aluminum Fence Installation in North Houston
If you’re looking for
ornamental iron fence installation in North Houston, Ark Fence Company designs and installs premium iron and aluminum fences that add security, style, and long-term value to your property. From secure pool enclosures and front-yard accents to custom driveway entries and perimeter security, we build metal fences that look great and stand up to heavy Texas weather. We ensure every panel is properly welded, finished with a durable powder coating, and set to perfection for lasting beauty.
Iron & Aluminum Fence Styles
Ornamental iron and aluminum fences are perfect when you want a fence that feels high-end and open, allowing visibility while still defining property boundaries securely. They’re strong, elegant, and versatile enough to match everything from traditional brick homes to modern builds. Our installation process focuses on high-quality welding and secure anchoring, which is essential for metal fencing stability.
Popular style options include:
- Classic flat-top picket: Features clean lines and timeless curb appeal, a standard choice for residential perimeters.
- Spear-top / pressed-point picket: Traditional, highly secure, and harder to climb, often used for increased safety requirements.
- Decorative panels & scrollwork: Custom ornamental details for front yards and grand entryways.
- Pool-code compliant designs: Feature safe spacing and height to meet all local safety standards for pool areas.
- Rake-able panels: Designed to follow sloped or uneven grades cleanly and professionally.
Aluminum fencing gives you a similar decorative look to iron but with lighter-weight panels and superior rust resistance. It’s an ideal material for pool fences, lakeside properties, and areas with heavy moisture. You can compare iron and other fence materials on our

Iron Fencing for Yards, Pools & Driveways
An ornamental iron or aluminum fence is one of the best ways to upgrade curb appeal while significantly improving safety and security around sensitive areas. We install metal fencing tailored for high-use or high-visibility areas:
- Front and back yards: Define your property line without blocking your view, perfect for maintaining scenic landscapes.
- Pool enclosures: Designed to meet common safety and HOA requirements with self-closing gates and secure latches.
- Driveway entries: Pair your iron fence with a matching swing or slide gate, often integrated with automatic openers.
- Side yard access points: Secure side gates with lockable latches and reinforced frames.
- Commercial and multi-family properties: Add a professional, upscale look to complex boundaries and common areas.
Many homeowners wisely choose iron around pools, patios, and front yards, then combine it with wood privacy fencing along the sides and back of the property. For gate options and automation,

Combining Iron with Wood or Brick Columns
One of the most popular, high-end looks for residential fencing in North Houston is a mixed-material fence that combines the elegance of metal with the permanence of masonry or wood. This design gives your property a custom, architectural appearance that greatly enhances curb appeal and property value.
Common combinations we build include:
- Iron fence panels transitioning into brick or stone columns at the front of the property.
- Iron or aluminum panels across the front boundary, with wood privacy fencing along the sides and back.
- Custom iron driveway gates tied seamlessly into existing wood or masonry walls.
- Decorative iron sections placed between masonry piers at entries, around patios, or bordering pool decks.
These designs are ideal for homeowners who want maximum security and prestige without feeling completely closed in. We’ll help you choose a layout that works with your home’s architecture, HOA guidelines, and budget.

Iron Fence Maintenance & Longevity
One of the biggest benefits of iron and aluminum fencing is its incredible longevity when installed correctly and properly coated. Our ornamental metal fences are built to handle North Houston’s humidity, storms, and heat with minimal upkeep required compared to staining and sealing wood. We utilize professional-grade welding and powder-coated finishes to maximize rust and corrosion resistance.
Key durability features:
- Powder-coated finishes for superior rust and corrosion resistance over standard paint.
- Professionally welded or securely fastened panels to handle years of daily use and movement.
- Quality posts set deep in concrete for stability in high wind and soft soil conditions.
- Low-maintenance surfaces—no staining, sealing, or repainting every year.
With occasional rinsing and minor touch-ups to any deep scratches, a well-installed ornamental iron or aluminum fence can last decades while keeping its sophisticated appearance.
