Our Custom Corten Steel Fence Fabrication Process
Design and Customization: Our in-house design team specializes in creating custom Corten steel products, including weathered garden fences, oxidized entry gates, privacy screens, weathered patina products, and architectural fencing for residential or commercial space.
Material Selection: We specialize in chemical processing and fabrication of Corten steel fences, known for their distinct rusty appearance, long-lasting durability, and evolving patina. All panels are processed in our shop to achieve a consistent weathered look before installation, with options available for panel thickness and oxidation stage to suit your project requirements.
Fabrication Process: Our fabrication process blends advanced technology with skilled craftsmanship and we use precision laser cutting, expert welding, and careful assembly to bring out the natural beauty of Corten while ensuring strength and performance.
Quality Assurance: Every Corten steel fence we fabricate is subject to strict quality control at every stage. From the initial design to final installation, we monitor surface oxidation and structural detail to deliver fences that perform well and age with character.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Corten steel is an excellent material for custom fencing. It offers long-term durability, low maintenance, and a distinctive weathered appearance that evolves over time. Unlike painted or coated metals, Corten forms a stable rust-like patina that protects the steel beneath from further corrosion. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications, especially when you want a fence that stands out visually and blends naturally with the environment.
Durability: Corten steel is built to withstand harsh weather conditions. Its surface forms a stable, protective patina that resists further corrosion without the need for paint or coatings.
Low Maintenance: Once the patina is fully developed, Corten fences require very little upkeep. There’s no need for ongoing treatments, and the material naturally ages over time.
Visual Appeal: The warm, rusted finish gives Corten a unique look that blends well with natural surroundings and modern architecture. It becomes more visually striking as it weathers.
Customizable Design: Corten is ideal for custom projects, including laser-cut panels, decorative patterns, and mixed-material designs. Each fence is fabricated to suit your space and style.
Modern Minimalist: Clean lines and flat-panel Corten designs offer a bold yet understated look. The naturally weathered patina adds warmth and texture, making these fences a popular choice for contemporary architecture and urban landscaping.
Rustic Natural: One of the most common uses of Corten steel, this style embraces the rusty, oxidized finish to create fences that blend seamlessly into garden settings, natural landscapes, or properties with earthy tones.
Architectural Industrial: With exposed welds, structural forms, and rugged finishes, Corten is ideal for industrial-style fencing. The raw look of oxidized steel enhances the utilitarian feel while still delivering modern appeal.
Privacy Screens: Laser-cut Corten panels are often used in privacy fence designs, offering both seclusion and visual interest. These can be customized with geometric or organic patterns that stand out as landscape features.
Mixed Material Designs: Corten pairs well with wood, concrete, or natural stone to create unique custom fences. The contrast between materials enhances the character of the fence and allows it to complement a wide range of building styles.
The cost of custom Corten steel fences in Toronto typically starts at $10,000- $15,000, with pricing influenced by several key factors. Unlike most regular metal fencing options, which are often premade, our Corten steel fences are fully customized, designed from scratch to suit each project’s specific needs. This level of customization, combined with the unique weathered look of Corten, contributes to its higher value and strong visual impact.
Design Complexity: Corten fences are often chosen for their architectural appeal. Custom laser-cut patterns, privacy screens, or artistic elements add to the design and fabrication time.
Material Characteristics: Corten steel develops a natural, weathered patina over time. Its durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic value make it a premium material compared to aluminum or standard steel.
Size and Dimensions: Large fence runs or custom panel sizing require more material and labour, directly impacting cost. Corten is typically fabricated per project, not from stock sizes.
Surface Processing: All panels are chemically processed in-shop to ensure a consistent rusty, oxidized look before installation. The level of pre-weathering and patina control adds to the fabrication process.
Installation Requirements: Site conditions, structural base preparation, and the need for custom mounts or supports can affect installation pricing.
