Metal picket fence installation in Tallinn

Why choose metal pickets
Metal pickets combine the look people like about wooden fences with the low upkeep of steel. The pickets are profiled steel strips with a coloured coating, usually with a rounded or straight top, and they are fixed with even gaps so the fence lets light and air through.
They are a good fit for the street side of a house, around front gardens and in residential areas where the local plan prefers a lighter, open fence.
Height, spacing and privacy
At 1.2 m a metal picket fence marks the boundary and keeps small children and pets in, while keeping the garden open to the street. At 1.8 m it becomes a proper screen.
Privacy depends on the gap between pickets. With wider gaps the fence stays airy; with narrow gaps, or pickets fixed on both sides of the rails, it becomes hard to see through. We agree the spacing with you before ordering materials.
Colours and gates
Common colours are anthracite grey, black, brown and white. Pedestrian and swing gates can be clad with the same pickets so the fence looks continuous. Sliding gates and automation are covered on our gates page.
If you prefer real wood, see the wooden fence page. For complete privacy, a metal sheet fence closes the view fully.

Frequently asked questions
Does a metal picket fence need painting?+
No. The coating is applied at the factory and only needs an occasional wash. Scratches through to the steel should be touched up with matching paint.
Is it more expensive than a wooden fence?+
The starting price is usually higher, but you save on oiling and painting over the years. Compare the tables on this page and the wooden fence page.
Can the pickets be fixed on both sides?+
Yes. Alternating pickets on both sides of the rails makes the fence look the same from both sides and much harder to see through.
Can a metal picket fence follow a slope?+
Yes. The posts follow the ground and the rails can be set in steps or at a slight angle, so the pickets stay vertical.
