Wood and Metal Fence Systems

The product, plainly explained

Wood and Metal Fence: Real Wood With a Steel Frame

A wood and metal fence combines real wood fence boards with metal posts and steel framing. It may also be described as a metal and wood fence, a metal framed wood fence, or a wood fence with metal posts.

Perimtec's system uses galvanized steel posts and steel receiver channels as the primary frame. Real wood boards are installed inside that frame to create the visible fence surface. The result looks and feels like a real wood fence because the infill is actual wood—not wood-look metal.

A conventional wood fence with metal posts typically replaces the wood posts but still uses horizontal wood rails. Perimtec takes the metal structure further: the steel posts and receiver channels work together to frame the complete fence section, while the wood serves as the infill.

Compatible configurations can use horizontal or vertical wood boards and can be combined with matching metal framed gates for residential privacy fencing, backyard fences, perimeter fencing, commercial screening, and taller privacy applications.

Tall screening

8-Foot Wood and Metal Privacy Fence Options

Current Steel Frame shop data supports real wood in the 8-foot-high by 6-foot-wide section in a horizontal orientation. This is a project-specific tall privacy and screening option; use the configurator to select compatible infill, posts, and section quantity, or request review before ordering.

Why Use Steel Framing With Real Wood?

• Galvanized steel posts and receiver channels provide the primary framing.
• Actual wood boards remain the visible fence material.
• Where the system layout permits, weathered or damaged infill boards can be addressed separately from the primary frame.
• A framed gate can coordinate with the surrounding wood-infill fence.
• The finished surface has the character of real wood rather than a simulated wood pattern.

Real Wood or Wood-Look Metal?

This page is for projects that use actual wood boards inside a Perimtec metal frame. Buyers who want the appearance of wood using metal panels instead of real wood should review Perimtec Designer Metal options.

Wood-look metal is a separate infill choice and is not presented here as real wood.

Wood and Metal Fence Gates

Perimtec's framed gate path supports compatible real-wood infill so the opening can visually coordinate with the surrounding fence. Select gate needs while planning posts and section quantities, then review the fence gate options or configure a standard gate online.

Pricing and the Buying Path

1. Review the Steel Frame system and choose a verified standard size.
2. Use the online configurator to select orientation, compatible infill, posts, and section quantity; plan gates and ending posts as needed.
3. For custom conditions, uncertain counts, transitions, or project review, request pricing before purchasing.

Wood and metal fence kit pricing varies by section size, infill, orientation, posts, and quantity. Per-section pricing decreases at higher quantities; use the online configurator for the exact price of your project.

Where Wood and Metal Fencing Fits

• Modern backyard privacy runs: A warm wood look with cleaner modern lines for residential perimeter projects.
• Side-yard and utility screening: Narrow spaces where straight alignment and durable framing matter for serviceability.
• Mixed-material architectural fencing: Projects pairing wood character with metal accents, gates, and contemporary hardscape.
• Wood-fence upgrade projects: Replace repeated repair cycles with a system that keeps the wood aesthetic and improves structure.

Wood Infill Care and Replacement

• Maintenance remains focused on the wood infill surface (cleaning, staining, sealing) rather than rebuilding the whole structure.
• If boards weather or are damaged, infill replacement can be targeted while the frame remains in service.
• Confirm the selected board layout, finish expectations, site exposure, and replacement access before ordering.
