Iron and Aluminum Fences
Flat Top Fence
Level picket tops with no points. The ornamental fence that sits quietly against a modern house.
Who buys this fence, and why
You want the strength of ornamental metal without the points. Flat top finishes level at the rail, which sits quieter against a modern house and reads calmer from the street. Associations that ban pointed tops usually pass a flat top run without argument. It also suits a family yard where a pointed top feels like the wrong signal at the front walk. It also suits a fence with planting behind it, since a level top reads cleanly against a hedge.
What your money buys
The build matches a spear top: steel or aluminum pickets, two or three rails, powder coated finish. Only the picket top changes. The flat line pairs well with a square post cap, and it holds a straight edge along the top of the run that a pointed profile does not. Panels rack to follow your grade. The panels come welded rather than screwed together, so the run keeps its line and its spacing over the years.
What to settle before the crew arrives
Confirm your association allows the height you want before we order. Pick steel or aluminum, and decide on the post cap now. A cap is far easier to specify at the order than to add once the panels are standing. Tell us where the walk gate and the drive gate go, and how wide each has to be. Decide the color at the quote. Black and bronze are the common ones, and neither ever needs paint.
What it asks of you once it is up
Wash it once a year and check the coating at the base. A chip near the ground is where rust starts on steel. Aluminum takes a chip without corroding, which is why owners nearer the coast lean that way. Keep the trimmer off the bottom rail and the fence will look new for a long time. Metal does not move with the seasons, so a gate that swings true in March still swings true in August.
Why the Johnson build is the one to buy
A salesperson measures the fence line in your yard, so the number is yours and not a guess at it, and it covers the tear-out and the haul-off. A hundred crews put it up on the date we gave you, most of them in a day. One year of craftsmanship on the work, and not one callback on twenty thousand jobs last year.
