The product, plainly explained

Real Wood Fence With a Steel Frame

Perimtec wood and metal fence systems combine real wood boards with galvanized steel posts and receiver channels. The Steel Frame establishes the structure of the fence while the wood provides the visible infill, creating the appearance of a wood privacy fence without relying on conventional wood posts and rails for the frame.

This is not wood-look metal and it is not a conventional all-wood fence: actual wood boards sit inside a metal framed fence section.

Real wood supplies the visible surface; steel posts and channels supply the frame.

Wood and Metal Fence Panel Configurations

Choose a framed section by the result you need, then confirm its size, orientation, posts, and infill.

Metal Framed Wood Fence Panels

Real wood boards are held within Steel Frame receiver channels to form complete framed fence sections. The result is a steel frame with real wood as its visible infill.

Wood Fence With Metal Posts

Instead of using wood posts and rails as the primary structure, Perimtec uses galvanized steel posts and receiver channels to frame the real wood infill. The fence keeps an actual wood appearance while shifting its primary framing to steel.

Wood and Metal Privacy Fence

Compatible real-wood layouts can create substantial or full screening depending on the selected board configuration and spacing. Confirm the desired sight lines and layout before ordering.

Complete Wood and Metal Fence System

The online Steel Frame configurator lets buyers select a standard section size, compatible orientation and infill, section quantity, and whether to include posts. Gate choices and ending-post quantities can also be planned; use the quote path when a project needs layout review.

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.

A wood and metal fence kit price depends on the confirmed configuration; this page does not assume a starting price.

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.
